One thing we have been clear about is that we are not the only ones with a claim to the "American Jidokwan" name. To date, I know of at least 6 different schools or organizations that use the name, some of which have no connection to the rest. These groups are:
- Ernest Lieb, American Jidokwan 1965 (Switched the name to American Karate Systems 1973)
- Robert Moore/Curtis Herrington, American Jidokwan 1968 (Used interchangeably with Ohio Jidokwan)
- Ernest Al Fuzy, American Jidokwan Karate 1995
- William Sirbaugh, American Jidokwan Taekwondo 1995
- Thomas Henzey, American Jidokwan Federation (date unknown)
- Herb McGuire, American Jidokwan Martial Arts (date unknown)
