Black Robe: The Kempo/Kajukenbo Connection is a publication of Hawaii martial artist David Tavares' 46 year journey in the Kempo system. It entails the beginnings of his instructor (Joe Emperado's most prized warrior) Professor Walter L.N. Godin's Kajukenbo training, but most importantly describes in detail the nearly sixty year unsolved murder mystery of his Godin's instructor, Joe Emperado. It also discusses the other four co-founders (and a lost legacy of a sixth founder) of the Kajukenbo system who played an important role in starting and developing Kajukenbo and gives a little more detail of these men's martial arts history. The last chapter of the book shows illustrated self-defense techniques from Kempo and Kajukenbo practitioners from the U.S mainland and Hawaii. A must read for any Kempo/Kajukenbo artist who want to know know the missing history of Kempo/Kajukenbo.
