____
S
Grand Master Emil Bautista is one out of eleven other9th degree black belts in the art of KaJuKenBo.
He holds the Grand Master status out of 40,000 others
participating in the KaJuKenBo system through out the
world.
Only one other person is higher in rank and that is the
founder himself Sijo Adriano D. Emperado.
Bautista has taught this art for 31 years at his KaJuKenBo
Self-defense Institute in Vallejo, California but has been
teaching students longer then that more like 35+ years.
Since beginning KaJuKenBo he says that he has learned the
totality of the art. "The system is mental, spiritual and
physical". The physical comes first because when your
young, you're very aggressive. Then the mental comes in.
You know you can hurt someone, but you find out that
you don't have to. Then the spiritual comes in with your
love of God.
In 1961 Emil Bautista began his journey into the Kajukenbo
system by attending classes taught on Travis Air Force base
by the late Aleju Reyes. By the year 1963 Emil had begun to
train in Fairfield and found his way to the man who would
teach, and later promote him to the rank of Instructor,
Augung "Tony" Ramos.
After receiving his Black belt in May of 1967 Emil began to
develop students of his own and in the early part of 1968 he
opened the doors to the Kajukenbo Self-Defense Institute at
974 Benicia Road. In 1984 Sifu Emil Bautista moved his
organization directly under the Kajukenbo founder Sijo
Adriano D. Emperado. The friendship and respect that
followed saw Sifu Bautista earn the rank of Sigung and later
Professor-9th degree Red/Silver belt.
This past June 1999 Sijo Emperado promoted Professor
Emil Bautista to the title of Grand Master the future of the
new Grand Master Bautista and the art of KaJuKenBo will
be history in the making.
