Hello Kajukenbo Family,
In the interest of working towards a stronger Kajukenbo here in the NW and worldwide, I (Sigung Trent Junker) have chosen to accept the position as President for Region 1 of KOA – Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
In addition to myself, the following individuals are on the Executive Board: Professor Tim Gagnier (KAA Chu’an Fa) has taken on the position of Vice President. Sifu Ralph Ferguson (WHKD) has taken on the position of Secretary. Professor Mark Moy (Tum Pai) has taken on the position of Treasurer.
On the Membership Board, thus far, we have Sifu Shannon Spahan (WHKD) as the Membership Manager. This leaves a few positions open on this Board, that will be filled shortly.
To be clear, as a group, we will be rebuilding bridges and forging new ones, ensuring strong relationships within our Martial community. We support KSDI, KOA, KAA, and any and all other Kajukenbo organizations. This is meant to become a bridge between people, not a barrier. It is time to cross the political boundaries and grow as one family. As my shirt a few years ago said – “Four Branches, Many Methods, One Ohana”
This Board will be putting together seminars, social gatherings and more. There will be NOTHING to do with rank or negative politics involved. There is no control being exercised. We will merely be working together as a cohesive group towards the betterment of Kajukenbo.
If you have any questions, or thoughts, please feel free to contact myself or the other Board Members. Thank you.
Kajukenbo Forever!!
Sigung Trent Junker
