So, this question has come up a few time recently with some of the Chinese style MAists on here recently, and I thought I just ask directly. It seems that Kajukenbo uses Chinese terms for black belt ranks (Sibak, Sifu, Sigung, Sijo). In Chinese styles these terms mean very different things than what they seem to mean in Kajukenbo. I was wondering if someone could explain why the founders of the style decided to use Chinese terms for their black belt ranks, and why they chose to use them differently than the traditional Chinese way? Asking honestly, not challenging anything.
