I feel I can respond to your comments: All martial artists feel a
great sense of pride with in there martial art. All of us have a
great sense of Accomplishments in what we study.
When you study Kajukenbo, you're not just learning a martial art you
re learning how to deal with Life. Everyone that has struggled threw
the Hard training in Kajukenbo creates a personal awareness of the
system. This is only created by years of hard hits and blood left on
the floor. When you go threw something like that you don't want
others to claim the status of the art without being true to It.
Meaning You want them to graduate threw the ranks before you can
claim ownership of the Art of Kajukembo. Or Calling it your Art while
training in other system as well.

I was a Black-belt in Tae Kwon Do before I found the Kajukembo
system. When I found my professor I no longer claimed rank status in
the other art. I became true only to Kajukembo and only wanted to
train in this system. Because I wanted to master the art. But what I
found out is I learned how to Master myself.
