KAJUKENBO Video Tape Series - "Original Method"

[Gints Klimanis]

Prof. Gelinas,

So, are you saying that these videos are a newer production than the Panther videos on VHS ?   I already have the Panther videos, and they are an excellent reference.  I'd go for the DVDs if they are a different production and not just a remaster.

Gints

P.S.  I received the 2007 Kaju tree you sent me yesterday.  Thanks for that excellent work.

Yes, GM Gelinas is describing the second series, which was produced in 1991. This set is referred to as the "WKO" (World Kajukenbo Organization) video series.

I want to thank everyone for their responses on this offer.
I just want to clarify the difference in this series and the "Panther Series".
These tapes are broken down into the requirements needed for rank advancement in the "Original Method" and feature several Senior Black Belts from the late Grandmaster Aleju "Al" Reyes including:
Grandmaster Joe Davis, Sigung Bill Rodriques, Professor Joe Tarango, as well as a "bonus" feature on the Black Belt tape "Introduction to Repetition "Ground Work" with Grand Master Allen Abad.  (The Brown Belt tape also has a "bonus" feature on "Full Contact" with Professor Joe Tarango.
SIJO EMPERADO is featured throughout the tapes talking about each belt rank and its meaning as well as commenting and appearing on each tape during the techniques.  SIJO is actually involved in demonstrating and commenting on several techniques while the instructors are teaching them.
The first two tapes are on "History and Traditions" (including Rules and Regulations) and there is a "Basics" tape.  Rank requirement tapes include:  White/Purple Belt - Purple Belt - Blue Belt - Green Belt - Brown Belt and Black Belt (1st Degree).
This series is ideal for both the Instructor and Student alike.
I broke down each tape into only the requirements needed for their next rank so it might be used as a text and reference for training in the "Original Method".  (Which if one claims KAJUKENBO "any method" should know as their foundation)
The "Panther Series" had only myself and students performing the techniques as taught to me by my teacher late Grandmaster Aleju "Al" Reyes, which include the "adlibs" he taught.
This series was directed by SIJO EMPERADO and he broke down each techniques before they were shot to get them as close as possible to the way he and the other founders had created them.  (No Adlibs,)  "Add your own"! Right?
The best part of this series is actually having SIJO there talking, teaching and even demonstrating several techniques throughout the series.
Thanks again for everyones support.
I'm sending a check out tomorrow to SIJO from those of you that have already shown your support.
With respect and Aloha,
GM Gary Forbach

Thought I'd reply here as well as on the other post.
It's been a few years since the last post on this site. 
If you claim the name, KAJUKENBO you should, at the very least know the "Original Method" so that when a true KAJUKENBO instructor faces you, you can demonstrate what KAJUKENBO really is.  Right?
Sijo is gone, he is on these DVD's talking, teaching and no where else.
On Sale...  Go to the Cafe Store for info on how to buy this series.  For Real!!!
KAJUKENBO Foreva!!!!
