Troconis Kajukenbo Karate - USA

Homebound after an epic weekend at my brother dojo in Alton, TX!
Two days. Hours of intense training, learning, and reviewing drills with the ohana. This was year three with Sigung Louis, and as always, he, his wife, and daughter made me feel like family.
Gratitude beyond words.
Thank you GM for your teaching, your trust, and for promoting me to Black Belt Student in Kajukenbo Escrima. Honored to also serve as State of Florida Rep for the UNITED WORLD SERRADA ESCRIMA FEDERATION.
Much respect to all the instructors present, in special Sigung Renel Amante, G**o Danilo Manuel & my new STRONG friend Sifu .
Respect to Sigung Louis black and color belt students who made this event powerful.
We earned our bruises together!
KAJUKENBO ESCRIMA!!! ♣️🤜🏻🫷🏻⚔️

PROUD DAY AT THE DOJO! 🔥

KAI & SAMUEL LEVELED UP!
Kai → BLUE BELT
Samuel → PURPLE BELT

They showed up and SHOWED OUT — pure discipline, strength, and resilience on that mat on Saturday, May 9th. That’s the standard. That’s the example for every student watching.

And to the OHANA who pulled up? You came ready. You pushed them. You made them look like the warriors they are. THAT’S FAMILY.

KAJUKENBO FAMILY — WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED.
KAJUKENBO FOREVER! ♣️💪🏻

Meet Samuel
Started his Kajukenbo journey at 5 years old in 2023.
Always enthusiastic. Always respectful. Always dedicated.
I challenge him. I push him to the edge.
He never complains — he executes.
In a few weeks: PURPLE BELT TEST.
In Troconis Kajukenbo, you make the belt, the belt doesn’t make you.
Couldn’t be prouder of this young warrior.
KAJUKENBO FOREVER!! ♣️

Younger years: Body leads, mind follows.
2026: Mind leads, body follows.

That’s me in the air. My brother GM .troconis with the sweep at a High School demonstration. Dad behind the lens, circa 1984-85 ♣️

No AI, real picture. Real sweat. Real brothers.

Young me didn’t think — I just moved. Jump first, ask questions never.

Older me? The mind plans the entry. The body just has to keep up.
The art is what bridges both. KAJUKENBO FOREVER!! ♣️

The last couple of weeks training and
reviewing with GM have been incredible. I’m deeply grateful for his guidance — every session pushes me further, and I’m loving the challenge.
Now I’m getting ready and looking forward to a powerful Kajukenbo Escrima Seminar at my brother
dojo in Alton, Texas, May 15 & 16.
Can’t wait. Let’s do this!!!

🔥 HERE WE GO AGAIN! 🔥

It’s been too long since we had a group THIS big ready for testing — and they’ve earned it.
Every one of them just got their second color stripe. That means:
✅ Belt requirements: COMPLETE
✅ Kajukenbo classes & activities: ALL IN
The forge is hot. The big day is coming.

GET READY. SHOW UP. STAND WITH THEM.
KAJUKENBO FOREVER!! ♣️💪🏻
