Do you know a Kajukenbo instructor who taught around the Monterey/Seaside area in the early 80's. He was a tall black man who also sold jewelry from his house. For the life of me I can't remember his name. This article says it best. I haven't done the research this individual has done. I have been told things by people who knew Mitose Sensei first hand but this guy has done extensive research. http://kiyojuteryu.org:8084/soke/articles/mitose.shtml
