Last training session for student Alexis last night. I was randomly selecting some of our punch counters, grab arts, ground grappling techniques. Alexis was going through a surprise testing! We finished off with katas/forms and some open hand sparring.
The FKJ Club wants to wish Alexis and her Ohana all the best, safe travels back to the mainland. You did a great job at every class you attended and met the requirements for Junior Blue Belt promotion 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Keep on Training 👊🏼

Here is a snap shot of my Kajukenbo lineage. I’m listed twice. One on my first Kajukenbo Black Belt under Chuck Stevenson where I learned the Emperado Method, hard style Kajukenbo. I then left GM Stevenson. One of the main reasons for this was that he could not give me any more knowledge. For me it was all about always gaining more knowledge. Never stop learning. I then went to GGM Sifu Al Dela Cruz where I learned Kajukenbo Chu’an Fa Kung-Fu, soft style Kajukenbo. Sifu Al was all about sparring towards the ending of every class. I became more well rounded and a better fighter.
On the bottom right corner the picture shows my name with all the Black Belts that I created. Under the FKJ Club not only will the student learn the hard and soft style to Kajukenbo. They will also learn the basics to Kali and Ground Grappling. To keep up with the ever evolving game of mixed martial arts. One should know more on weaponry and the ground tactics.
There are some names of my Black Belts that still need to be added to the list. I need to contact the Kajukenbo Tree Keeper to make this happen, SGM Philip Gelinas. Names to be added are Lubie Lagmay, Ren Mansilungan, Richard Partido, and Bernie Abarquez. His daughter Rheean Abarquez will be promoted to Kajukenbo Black Belt at this year’s Club Christmas Party come December.
Keep on Training!

Make up practice on a Thursday evening in the garage. Weather still bad at times outside. Small group of students going over combinations with the boxing gloves and mitts. Worked a handful of kicking combinations with the kicking shield. Went over some hubud (block, pass, trap) knife drills. Finished off with open hand and padded knife free sparring.
Good training!

My Kajukenbo Great Grandmaster Sifu Al Dela Cruz 👊🏼

BOA Highlight.

GGM Al Dela Cruz

Kajukenbo Chuan-Fa
Great Grand Master Alfred Dela Cruz first started martial arts training in Judo at 10 years old. At age 15, He took up boxing at the Aiea Boxing gym in 1957. In December 1957, he met a high ranking black belt named GM Sid Ascuncion. GGM Dela Cruz began training at GM Sid Ascuncion’s Kenpo Karate School In Kalihi in early 1958. GGM Dela Cruz received his black belt certificate from GM Sid Ascuncion in 1963.

In the early 1960’s, GGM Dela Cruz was introduced to Sijo Adriano Emperado by GM Sid Ascuncion. During the years between 1963 and 1970, GGM Dela Cruz and GGM Al Dacascos met with Sijo Emperado at a restaurant named Kau Kau Jr. on Nimitz Highway. GGM Al Dacascos was a cook at Kau Kau Jr. at the time and Sijo Emperado would stop by as the area was on his beat as a Honolulu Harbor Police Officer. Sijo Emperado would show GGM Dela Cruz and GGM Dacascos a lot of Kung Fu moves, as this was the BO(Chinese Boxing) in the KAJUKENBO System. The three would also meet frequently at Pier 7 and at the Ilikai Hotel to talk about Kajukenbo training and techniques, while having coffee and a bite to eat. In the mid 1970’s, Sijo Emperado advised GGM Dela Cruz to use the Chuan-Fa (Fist/Chinese Boxing) name, in his school name, so the school became the Kajukenbo Chuan-Fa Kung Fu School.

GGM Dela Cruz also became a Honolulu Police Officer in February 1971. He competed in boxing in three International Police Olympic Games:

1978 - San Diego, Bronze Medal
1980 - New York, Bronze Medal
1982 - Houston, Bronze Medal

GGM Dela Cruz also competed and won a Bronze medal in the 1984 International Police Olympic Games in Canada in Karate-Kumite. He retired from HPD on December 30, 1999. The very next day, he started as a Honolulu Police Reserve Officer, where he continues in that capacity to this day. He has 50 years of total service to the Honolulu Police Department.
