Passing of Sijo Adriano D. Emperado
« on: April 05, 2009, 09:16:04 AM »
With a very heavy heart I would like to inform everyone that our founder and leader of Kajukenbo Self Defense Institute (KSDI), Sijo Adriano D. Emperado has passed away. Sijo Adriano D. Emperado passed away peacefully in his sleep on April 4, 2009 at approximately 11:15 pm. He passed away on Maui, Hawaii the island that he loved and was home to him.
This is a great loss for everyone in Kajukenbo worldwide.

More information will be forthcoming.

I am terribly saddened although knowing this day was inevitable. I want to extend my condolonces to those who were closest to Sijo on behalf of the Northern California Headquarters of the Kajukenbo Self Defense Institute. I pray SIjo will rest in peace and that his legacy continues for generations.

It is a sad day for our Kajukenbo Ohana and the martial arts world.  We have lost a true legend and the Father of our art.
I loved Sijo like my father and will miss him very much, but I will always have my memories of my time with him, as well as the knowledge and Aloha he shared with me.
God Bless you Sijo
I will always love you,
Gary Forbach and Family

We mourn the loss of our beloved Sijo.  He has truly had a tremendous impact on the martial arts community. His memory and legacy will live forever in the hearts of all our Kajukenbo Ohana world wide.  We must continue to honor him by sharing the Aloha and Spirit of Kajukenbo; celebrate his life by passing on his teachings.  

From all of us at the Dragons Den, our condolences go out to the Emperado Family.  We will keep Sijo in our prayers.  

God Bless you Sijo and mahalo for giving us such a wonderful art.  We will miss you.

With much respect, One Love,
Sigung Jeff

 From all of us here at Hawaiian Self-Defense EastCoast Branch we send our love and condolences to his Ohana and all of our Kajukenbo brothers and sisters. Now is the time for us to come together and make Kajukenbo strong the way Sijo would have wanted it. We can't forget what he gave to the world and and to those of us who knew him and those who had the unique opportunity to have met him. I have so many things I want to say but I can't find the words right now.Sigung's Kai and Aiau please give Sijo a kiss and a salute for us.God Bless and Aloha....
