Ur right the crest used by kaido was a white crane crest …Costas one of my instructor in Kaju have it I saw it…He learned from kaido and also from Philip
Thats right nobody know about Kaido background .....but the basic and some chuan fa form form the kajukenbo chuan fa branch in the 70 in Montreal was from Kaido .....later we include more of Dacascos chuan fa and Won hop kuen do stuff...I mean the form like Ha kuen,Lim po and some northern sil lum
Since one of his senior student the late Sifu endrezzi start a school in trois riviere
But the basic was the hop gar punching …but no forms from hop gar or lama
Probably forms created by kaido himself(the dragon dance and so on)…
The Kajukenbo(emperado and Wun hop kuen do and the chuan fa was mostly bring By Philip) keep in mind the kajukenbo system have a lot of evolution from the Hard style kenpo to the more add of CMA in it .....Even today we could see a lot of variation in the 4 branch of Kajukenbofrom school to school
Here I talk without be sure .....Philip also said to me ....He dont know if kaido learned hop gar from Harry Ng but what he do work...
I heard from a lot of peoples
.Kaido was a big men in Montreal even if he was 5 feet 7 and 130 lbs … Know and respect in the MA circle and the night life

kaido taught HopGar to his student’s in Montreal from 1972-1980, he retired at the age of 40, and was killed 6 or 7 years later. He taught " In the Hop Gar there
were the following forms, Soft & Hard (Tai Chi like), Two person form, and 4
breathing exercises. There were 44 hop gar techniques at the beginning then
another 16 later on. There is nobody that has them all (I checked). Why we
didn’t record them all back then I don’t know. Video was just beginning and
it was reel to reel." quote from Philip Gelinas one of Kaido’s top students
Steeve Ifound this old quote on Kaido’s material, have you seen all of these…is the soft hard tai chi like set mentioned the one Philip does in the park video when he shows all the sets and the steaff and sword forms?..he moves slow for the first half like tai chi and then speeds up…Do you know if that has anything to do with the “Needle in Cotton” classical form?.
i know three of the breathing methods and my stepdad has two or three more…horse stance fingertips point to each other press forward at chest…inhale press palms into each other but don’t touch moving forward at chest…inhale and repeat three times etcetc inhale pull fists to stomach bend forward hold…raise erect pull arms back at shoulder exhale press hands to sides…pull in inhale, press to sides exhale do three times and start over.
two
cat stance press wrists together cross hands up double tan sao style inhale, cross hand down double knife hand style exhale, do three times, rear pak sao/lead claw press at chest, thread pak sao hand up claw wrist…wind arms back, pull up center and hit bottom of elbows to chest exhale HUT press palms center forward slowly facing each other continue exhale…ssssssssssss…claw palm on top of pak sao backhand and press down to groin turning to horse, fingertips stop at groin and fingertips now face each other hands pronated…turn to cat stance on other side and repeat.
three
horse stance pak sao in and forward at chest single hand three times and then you do hook hand in at chest tan sao at face, knife hand at face, tiger claw grab outside grip and chamber and repeat with your other arm…nonworking hand sits supine backhand on top of thigh.
