Belt system

I thought boxing and muay thai had no belts system. Near the end, when the sports he has black belts on is listed, it claims that. Please change it.

Question about his title in Chinese Goju

I'm questioning whether his actual title is "shidoshi". The reason why is that the shidoshi title is used exclusively in Ninjitsu. And as it has been claimed that Master Van Clief has studied Ninjitsu, his own style isn't solely Ninjitsu. SO, it would be safe to say that his title would be under the traditional Japanese title structure.

Those sentences had no citations so I removed them until reliable sources can be found. The Japanese term shidōsha (指導者) is a general term meaning: "leader; guide; mentor; coach".
