I was following a podcast on Kajukenbo and found this episode featuring Walter Godin. He was the brother in law of Sonny Gascon, founder of Karazenpo Goshinjitsu. This was the precursor to Shaolin Kempo. Having trained under a student of Walter Godin, Kimo Ferreira, I can see some of the similarities between the systems. However, author David Tavares makes a point about the similarities between early Karazenpo Goshinjitsu and Kajukenbo that to my mind suggests the pivotal role of SGM George Pesare in the development of the Shaolin Kempo we know today.
