George
'Clarence' Chang -
1926-1950. The late
George
Chang was known as Clarence Chang.
He contributed the "BO" in the KaJuKenBo system known as
the Chinese Boxing - Gung-Fu style. Although George Chang lived
a short life, his contribution is still felt today. His family
friends and co-founders know him as a refined individual, a
outstanding martial artist and Korean veteran. At the early
age of twelve, George spent a few years in his father's native
land, the province of Kwangtung, prior to World War II in
December of 1940. While in China he got his initial start
in the "hard / soft" system of Sil Lum Kung-FU (Shaolin).
He retuned to Honolulu in 1941 where Hawaii was U.S. territory
and not a state. Chang then furthered his Chinese style knowledge
under the late Wong Kok Fut. While studying this art he acquired
an interest in the art of Kenpo Karate and it was at that time
he collaborated with the co-founders of the KaJuKenBo system.
After the KaJuKenBo system was created in 1947, George enlisted
in the United States Marine Corps Reserve in 1949. When the
North Korean People's army crossed the 38th Parallel on
June 25, 1950 and invaded South Korea. The United States
intervened into the conflict and the "Korean War" began. With
the shortage of combat troops, the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves
were called upon into active duty and George left the country,
never to return again and was killed listed as Missing in
Action(MIA).
Up till this day, we still feel George Chang's influence and
all of the KaJu family honor's him.

Adriano Emperado takes the art into his own hands.
Although the five members of the Black-Belt Society are known
to be the originators or creators of KaJuKenBo,
Adriano Emperado is the one person who cultivated it to where
it is today.
Emperado originally received his martial arts training from the
legendary Chinese Kenpo founder, Professor William K.S. Chow,
later on he went to the source of Kenpo and sought the teachings
of the Father of Kempo James Mitose where he learned the art
of Kosho-Ryu Kempo style.
Prior to studying under Chow and Mitose Adriano Emperado had
study the art of Eskrima, the Philippine martial art of stick,
sword, knife weaponry and empty-hand fighting.
A break down of the co-creator and founders of the KaJuKenBo
style of self-defense and Black Belt Society will help give
you a better understanding of how KaJuKenBo came to be.
