Fierce, Brutal, effective-these are just afew of the words used to describe

Kajukenbo, widely considered the firstmartial art created in the United States.Kajukenbo, a combination of five combatsystems, gained its tough reputationdecades ago in what was then the U.S.territory of Hawaii, where the style wassynthesized. Kajukenbo’s no-nonsenseapproach to self-defense has earned the style recognition worldwide as an efficientfighting art. Five martial arts teachers formulated Kajukenbo in 1947. Callingthemselves the “Black Belt Society,” they collaborated on a project to develop acomprehensive self-defense system. These five men were Peter Choo, theHawaiian welterweight boxing champion and a black belt in Tang-Soo-do; FrankOrdonez, a Sekeino Jujitsu black belt; Joe Holck, a Kodokan Judo black belt;Clarence Chang, a master of Sil lum pai kung fu; and Adriano D. Emperado, anEscrima expert and black belt in Chinese Kenpo.

They created a new and highly comprehensive art by sharing the strengths andweaknesses of each others’ systems, and after deciding that Kenpo would serve asthe foundation from which to build, the five martial artists began an arduous three-year process of incorporating Tang-Soo-Do kicks, Jujitsu joint locks, Judo throws,and Sil lum pai circular techniques into one fighting system. Lacking a name for thisnew style, Holck suggested the system be called Kajukenbo (Ka from Karate, ju fromJudo and Jujitsu, ken from Kenpo, and bo for Chinese boxing or Kung Fu).Kajukenbo was then founded in 1949, and their first school began in 1950.

The yin yang symbol, depictedhere, seems very popular

today with its meaning ofwholeness, balance and continuouschange. However its meaning isoften misunderstood.

The two shapes that make upthe circle represent the ancientChinese concepts of yin and yang.Yin, the dark f igure, hasassociations with the feminine, thereceptive, cool, soft, yielding,inner-or iented, deep, dark,and more quiet; while yanghas to do with the masculine,giving, warm, hard, outgoing,outer-or iented, closer to thesur face, l ight and moreactive. These arecomplementary forces thatcannot exist alone. Besidesneeding each other to form awhole, they der ive meaning fromeach other, just as day has meaningcontrast to night, hardness inrelation to softness, andbr ightness compared to dullness.

The yin/yang symbol is ast at ic symbol that represents adynamic process. You canimagine it having cryst al l ized fromtur ning a c irc le cont aining asmal ler white and black circ le.The shape of the dar k and l ightareas in the yin/yang symbolpoint to a f lowing movement in

which yin and yang diminish, andincrease in intensity .

Starting at the top of the circle,we see a maximum amount of black,with at its center some white. Thismeans that the most intense level ofyin contains a kernel of yang.

Following the circle in a clockwisedirection we see how the blackdecreases and the white areastar ts to become larger. As theblack shape comes to a minimum,the white reaches its peak. Herethere is a black dot reminding us ofthe opposite quality which isalways present.

In nature yin and yang want to bebalanced and since we are part of

nature we do the same. During ahot day, we drink cold liquids orwant to go for a cool swim and oncold days, we eat warming foods.And so its true in our training, weyield to power, and meet weaknesswith strength. Another way in whichour need for balance comes out isthat women, who tend to have moreyin than yang qualities, need tobring out their yang qualities, andvice verse for men. We feel optimallyhealthy then complementaryqualities are in balance. Some

other qualities we may want tobalance are giving and receiving,being alone or with others, andresting or being active.

In our culture we tend to classifythings into categories of good or

bad. “Is this good?” we may ask,sometimes forgetting that what may begood this moment may not fittomorrow. In the East, one is moreconcerned with balance. Thequestion is: Does this help balance?

The yin/yang symbol reminds usof the f lowing quality of life, and inan ever-changing environment oneis better being f luid and balancedoneself. Healing ar ts like Tai Chior acupressure can help br ingabout this equipoise and activitieslike yoga and meditation or timespent in nature can help quiet ourminds and center us.

About YAbout Yin Yin Yangang••

•Forbach Martial Arts Academy. Sigung Gary Forbach.

WE BELIEVE that every man bears the unalterable responsibility for keepingout of harm’s way. This he owes to himself, his family, his fellows, and his

organization and style.

WE BELIEVE that no man lives or works entirely alone. He is involved with allmen, touched by their accomplishments and marked by their failures. If he fails theman beside him, he fails himself, and will share the burden of that loss. The truehorror of an accident is the realization that a man has failed himself—and more—thathis fellows have failed him.

WE BELIEVE that accidents are conceived in improper attitudes and born inmoments of action without thought. They will cease to be only when proper attitudeis strong enough to precede the act—when the right attitude creates awareness thatcontrols the act.

WE BELIEVE that training and education as to safe attitudes and practicesshould be an important part of all schools. The prevention of accidents is anobjective which crosses all levels of grades, organization and procedure.

WE BELIEVE that freedom from harm is not a privilege but a goal to beachieved and perpetuated.

WE BELIEVE that the elimination of injury and pain through accident is a moralobligation upon which the final measure of our performance directly depends.

PLEASE RECONSIDER the above in formulating an idea, for which no idea isbased on fallacy but based on a true understanding.
