Great Grandmaster Joseph Halbuna
Joseph Halbuna was a respected senior leader within the Kajukenbo community whose life and teachings left a lasting impact on generations of practitioners. Known for his deep commitment to the art, his students, and the values of Ohana, Great Grandmaster Halbuna represented the strength, humility, and responsibility that define Kajukenbo at its best.
Throughout his years of training and instruction, GGM Halbuna emphasized discipline balanced with compassion, technical excellence grounded in practicality, and the importance of preserving lineage through direct transmission. His approach to Kajukenbo extended beyond physical technique, fostering strong community bonds and a sense of shared responsibility among students and instructors alike.
The Halbuna lineage continues to reflect his teachings through its focus on unity, respect for tradition, and dedication to training as a lifelong practice. The Annual Halbuna Ohana Gathering serves not only as a training event, but as a living tribute to his legacy—bringing together those connected by lineage, friendship, and a shared commitment to the art.
