240-Uncle Frank’s Untold Story:The Ordonez Kajukenbo Ohana

In this episode, I sit down with Jason Groff, the head of the Ordonez Kajukenbo Organization, to talk about one of the most overlooked figures in Kajukenbo history — Uncle Frank Ordonez. Jason opens up about Uncle Frank’s life, his deep connection to the art, and how his influence went far beyond what most history books or Kajukenbo historians give him credit for. We discuss the roots of the Ordonez Kajukenbo Ohana, the stories that rarely get told, and how Uncle Frank helped shape the structure and philosophy of Kajukenbo as we know it today. This is a rare and important look into the true legacy behind the Ordonez family and Uncle Frank’s integral role in bringing the Kajukenbo system together — a story of humility, respect, and the strength of Ohana.
