Join my family's time honored tradition — passed down from our founder, Sijo Emperado — through four generations from my grandfather, to my father, to me, and my daughters. Kajukenbo is rich in history and martial arts tradition, while practical for modern self-defense today. We focus on the tools to navigate conflict and defend in real-world situations.
