Just calling it dark Knight, as people have already pointed out, ties it to Ishgard, the same way samurai are only found in Japan.
I think his point was more about using the Dark Arts while not being a Dark Knight.
Personally I don't necessarily buy into the idea of "martial arts have been invented everywhere because people needed to fight bare handed in every culture, THEREFORE kung-fu has been created in many other places than in China", but I mean, it's still a possibility I can't rule out. To me it's not so much breaking the lore than just playing out of it.
But yeah, it's a delicate question since we don't really know if Dark Arts is a very specific school of using aether (like conjury, thaumaturgy), or just something you can tap into as long as your emotions are strong enough.
