Keep in mind that all members of the original founders were Christians

 

and this prayer was written for the Kajukenbo clan by one of it's founders,

 

Frank Ordenez in 1947,  In almost all sections of Kajukenbo, Kenpo-Karate,

 

Tum Pai, Ch'uan Fa, and the Wun Hop Kuen do sections, this prayer is recited.

 

It is not mandatory in all sections, leaving it with the head of the school or class

 

to use at his or hers discretion. Also note that associations and schools that have

 

departed from Kajukenbo still keep to the tradiation of using the prayer as a

 

means of recognizing their roots. Some schools when going throught the prayer,

 

will kneel down on one knee, one hand down on the floor, others elect to go down

 

on both knees.
