Vince Black

My sincere condolences to Mrs. Black and Gregori. I studied Kajukenbo under Vince in the early 80s at Asian Fighting Arts in San Diego. He was a life-changing teacher to me, both brutal and gentle, stern yet kind. An amazing man. We won't see his like again.

You are forever in our hearts and so grateful we met you when we did to help heal our beautiful Jacqueline.

Deeply saddened to hear about Vince's passing, I am only now learning about it. We went to acupuncture school together and he introduced me to Sijay Emperado since I was a kung fu teacher at the time. Great person whom I looked up to and admired a great deal.

I am so saddened to hear of his passing.... he seems too young!
I still to this day tell the tails of one of the best healers I've had the blessing and honor to experience... Vince Black! I say he was a master of 5 internal martial arts (so I was told) that he actually knew how to move his chi into my body for healing. I can still recall the mystical electric feeling surging thru my body from his hands. Remarkable human being with tremendous compassion. As a facilitator of healing myself...

I just learned of Vince's passing. I remember him fondly. He was an exceptional person and healer whom I feel grateful to have met over 20 years ago. Love and light. Catherine Anderson

He was my KAJUKENBO Martial Arts Instructor on 14th st. & Market back in 1984-89 in San Diego, CA. It was an honor to have been one of his young students. I owe him my black belt. I will miss him along with Sifu Adriano Emperado, which he also was my instructor. He will always be remembered.

Just heard of Vince passing and although more than 25 years since I last saw him, will never forget what he did for me as a patient and student. Condolences to Kim,his family and all of the special people who shared his brilliance as a master healer and martial artist without equal at his North Park Health Center in San Diego prior to his return to Arizona.
