Kempohands Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Thank you for all of the warm welcomes. My instructor is currently training with high ranking blackbelts in Kajujkenbo (such as Grandmaster Bautista and Professor Powell). His instructors in Kempo have all passed away and there was no longer anyone who could promote him. Since he is technically the head of the system, he could have promoted himself, but he felt he should get to know a master of a similar system. That's how my instructor met Sijo Emparado. Sijo promoted my instructor to 8th Dan. My instructor now teaches us the alphabet techniques as well as other kajukenbo priciples. I have found that kajukenbo is slightly more linear and strength oriented than Kempo. Kempo has more of a balance between circular and linear as well as hard and soft movements while kajukenbo (at least what I've learned) seems more hard and linear. That's just my observations though.
