259-Kajukenbo History & The DVD Series, Gary Forbach on Preserving Sijo Emperado’s Legacy

In this episode of Social Gelo with Angelo, I sit down with Gary Forbach to talk about the Kajukenbo DVD series he put together and the role it plays in preserving Kajukenbo history. We dive into what motivated the project, how the material was selected, and what it took to document such an important part of the art. Gary also shares insights on working with Alan Abad and the influence of Sijo Emperado on the direction and philosophy behind the series. This is a laid-back, honest conversation focused on history, legacy, and making sure future generations understand where Kajukenbo comes from. If you’re a practitioner of Kajukenbo, Karate, or Kenpo this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
