Kajukenbo is a Hawaiian martial art created by Master EMPERADO between 1947 and 1950.
Kajukenbo is a Kenpo style used for self defense.

Master EMPERADO has worked with other experts in various styles for three years so that he could create an art harmonizing all concepts from their own styles, and then he put up a self defense system, tough and realistic. Those experts were Peter CHOO from TANG-SO-DO Korean Karate, Joseph HOLK from KODOKAN JUDO, Clarence CHANG from SEKEINO JU-JUTSU, Clarence CHANG from KUNG FU SIL LUM PAI. Besides, they added their knowledge in ENGLISH BOXING as they were amateur boxers, and also added their knowledge in KALI and in Polynesian LUA, an ancient martial art of Hawaiian warriors. Three years of secret and committed work later, the style was born.
They called it:
KA for Korean Karate Tang- so- do
JU for Judo and ju-jutsu
KEN for Kenpo
BO for Chinese and English Boxing
