Kenpo terms are not owned by anyone, nor are they the creations of one. All terms have been used in many different systems and styles for hundreds of years. Many systems being taught today such as Escrima, Kung Fu, jujutsu, Aikido, etc. are based on many of the terms used in this online read.
Individual words used in combination's, may be the result of one person "coining" that term, but the core Principles, Concepts and Ideas of movements, are much older then any of us, or what name is being used by any one system or style. These are the names or terms we use in Seishindo Kenpo. You may call them what you like!
Remember that a name is only a Title, don't hang your hat on Titles. Understanding of "why" is far more important then "who".
