Senior Grandmaster Chuck Sullivan has been my instructor for many years now. He promoted me from white belt to fourth-degree black belt. He is an amazing individual!
Do you teach?
@@gbody2617 I teach private lessons to individuals. I don't own a commercial karate school.
@@Antoine24425 - I was asking because I was wondering if there's more lessons on top of the 154 or once you get your black belt in order to advance in degrees is if you teach.
That's definitely one 91 year old I wouldn't dare mess with!
Thanks for a great interview.
Best wishes for many more years of health, happiness and Kenpo to SGM Chuck Sullivan, truly a living legend personified. 🙏❤
When Mr. Chuck Sullivan said anyone can memorize a bunch of techniques but can they use the techniques was so relevant to the current view of martial arts about focusing on the techniques that work for you and discarding what does not.
There was once a time where more was better but I'm discovering that less is more.
I think this applies to every martial arts style. There will be some techniques we naturally gravitate to and others we might use sparingly or not at all because they just don't fit into our personal skills inventory.
That's always been the case but most martial arts never fought so wouldn't know, kenpo included
Woah 91 and still doing martial arts?! That’s awesome. Truly badass!
Right
I remember Mr. Sullivan talking about how he met Bruce Lee. Fascinating stuff! Big respect to his Kenpo dedication.
Study and earned my purple belt under SGM Sullivan and GM Vic LeRoux via there VHS Series as I lived some distance from a Kenpo Dojo. They made the learning process interesting and stimulating. Enjoyed being one of the many students that had the pleasure of learning Kenpo.
Awesome interview! I studied under 7th degree black belt John Conway RIP back in the late 80s early 90s as a teen in Santa Clarita, CA. It was an amazing experience! I've been able to later transfer a lot of my Kenpo knowledge to other aspects in life including dancing and playing instruments. Thanks so much for spreading the word about the beautiful as well as highly functional art of Kenpo. Also much respect to all other martial arts as well.
Let's not forget Professor Nick Cereo. He is also a direct predecessor of yip man. God bless him and all who paved the way and showed patience.
Chuck Sullivan is a legend! Thanks for this interview!
This man is a legend.
Thanks, Dan. I cannot get enough of these history of styles segments. I am a lover of history and martial arts. These intrigue me.
I am the same way!
For years I have done my own research and these videos and interviews add so much more to my information and knowledge!!
THANK YOU-- this comes down to " it's AINT the art- it's the ARTIST".... and (practice ONE thing thousands of times- )
It's nice to see that he recognizes your interviewing skills. It's easy for that to go unnoticed. There's a talent to it that I love in you.
Thank you, I really appreciate that.
Chuck is full of energy for a 91 yr old, he reminds me of Rick Fliar, even did the Woo!! at the end, haha. Very interesting history he brings to conversation, even about Parker and Jimmy Wu connection.
He's a POS in my opinion! He talked bad about Jimmy Woo who was a deadly fighter in San Soo which to me Kenpo is a wannabe version of it but very disorganized.
I'm very familiar with San Soo and I want to train in Kenpo just for the hell of it so I could point out the differences of what's good and what sucks.
@G Body you sound like a posing know all loud mouth. What purpose other than to stroke your own ego would pointing out the difference do.
Fantastic interview with a legendary instructor! Well done.
I cannot fathom, how at 91, SGM Sullivan looks so strong and speaks so sharply. What a testament in longevity. I very much enjoyed this interview.
I will say this, Kenpo is a beautiful art. The skill involved is amazing. There are a lot of detractors who will say that an attacker doesn't stand still while you throw 4 different angle strikes. I get that and I think Kenpo has an answer for those who say that. But I also know a lot of martial artists who don't have the INTELLECTUAL FORTITUDE to MEMORIZE those level of techniques. They can at best throw a jab, right hook, roundhouse kick, etc. Kenpo is like the college of martial arts.
You dont memorise anything in combat,you learn the skills until you can produce it in response to a visual or tactile cue without conscious thougth.Concious memory is a hindrance, not a benefit.Any kenpo I've seen is completely unuseable.
Kenpo is not about memorizing techniques. A lot of schools teach that way but that's a lack of understanding the material. When you learn Kenpo as a relationship of moves and reactions the spontaneity greatly improves. Anyone who trains or says Kenpo is just a bunch of techniques that won't work because no one will just stand there...doesn't understand Kenpo.
I've been waiting for this video for so long.
Fantastic Dan. I have been in Martial arts for 46 years, and in 1996 i got into IKCA. And SGM Chuck Sullivan has been my master instructor for all these years. From white to now 9 Dan. Full salute
Chuck is amazing .. vic leroux sent me the yellow belt dvd for free
Love that you guys talk about video training. Currently learning a Kenpo system through video cause there isn't a martial arts program near me that I want to train in
I met Mr.Sullivan at a training camp in the mid 90’s. This was a special treat for all future Kenpo men and women. You may not realize what a treasure this man is to the history and culture of the art. Modern students always want to point out the differences between this guy’s Kenpo compared to that guy’s Kenpo…someday, you will realize that it’s all Kenpo. You heard Mr.Sullivan say that he constantly learned and assimilated whatever he thought worked, from a variety of sources. That’s real Kenpo. What do you think Mr.Parker did?
What’s the goal of Kenpo? -to Win, by constantly adapting to the ever changing conditions of combat. We all have our differences. In the name of techniques, the teachers we trained under, our personal capabilities and limitations, etc. The truth is that we all know fighting and what it takes to win. Getting caught up with who Mr. Parker approved of or who he taught real Kenpo, is a waste of time. Frankly, it dishonors the man. I would rather train with a 18 year old TKD black belt, a collegiate level wrestler, and a washed up former pro boxer than any Kenpo black belt who spends all of their time talking about how they know real Kenpo, but never does any freestyle sparring. Whatever degree you earned, how you changed the Kenpo patch on your gi, the time you wrote out every step in long 4, the kick asz Kenpo demo you did at the county fair while they played “I got the power..” from the Perfect Weapon soundtrack…all of that don’t mean a effing thing without a regular amount of continuous, heavy contact, sparring with all kinds of different people from different backgrounds. Facing that dragon keeps you humble and forces you to see the truth. Mr. Sullivan is 91 and as nice of a person in real life as he was in this interview. But a real fighter is still inside there. May we all be so lucky to experience the Art to his level. Thanks for preserving a true legend of Kenpo in this interview. You have my deepest respect. OSS!
Always inspiring to listening to Mr. Sullivan. Aloha Ke Akua. God bless.
God bless Chuck Sullivan
Errr. That 60s snowflake could go to h£||.
🙏🏽💯
The image at the beginning of this video of the double dragon claws was first popularized by SUPREME EXCELLENT HIGH GRAND MASTER COUNT DANTE! and should be acknowledged and recognized and humbled by such as brought forward to the World to-day.
Awesome interview with GM Chuck Sullivan Dan Sensei! Great job! 🙏👍🥋 he looks great for a young 91 year old guy, incredible. 💥
He's still sharp as a tack and still teaches on a regular basis. He's a really cool guy to talk to.
The Karate Connection!!
Another interesting and inspiring interview. Thank you for your great work making these happen. Really love your channel and content.
Thank you, I really appreciate that.
Awesome thanks Mr Dan!! Finally the Mr Sullivan video!!!This is Andy Brooks,Evil X is my bands RUclips channel
Ah very nice Sir! Glad you liked the video!
I heard Frank Trejo tell the same story about how he met Ed Parker , and how he first started going to his dojo .
That was a great interview & especially your guest’s journey with Kenpo. Now I shall go back to work on Bassai sho.
Great man GM Chuck 🙏
This man has a long history of experience and sounds like an incredible person to learn under.
Hats off to you, sir
he is not only a fantastic martial artist but also a amazing person. treats everyone he meets like family. proud to be one of his students.
Sensi Dan interviews like this is the reason I love your channel. The drama that goes on in martial arts system based on succession is ten times that is seen on any soap opera. Kyokushin and Seido karate having knowledge of both schools in house drama I could say this.
Someone needs to follow senior grandmaster Sullivan around with a digital recorder to get every drop of information we can from this man. He is a wealth of knowledge and history, and probably the last man standing for most of it.
He looks absolutely amazing for 91 years old, but he's not going to be here forever. We need to preserve this history before it's gone for good.
Osu Mr. Dan. Very interesting conversation/interview with Mr. Sullivan about the history of Kenpo Karate. Next I'd like to see you have an interview/conversation with anyone who practices Kara-Ho Kenpo Karate as well as Kajukenbo Karate. Thank you. Osu. 👊🏼🐉🐅
We do have John Hackleman in the next few weeks. He's from Kajukenbo but he'll be talking about his derivative Hawaiian Kenpo system.
@@ArtofOneDojo Thank you so very much Mr. Dan. Osu. 👊🏼🐉🐅
Trained through the karate connection tapes from him and Vic Leroux as a teenager. 👊🏻
91 years old amazing man
Great interview!!!
Thank you Sir!
Thank you for sharing this video I truly enjoyed it! Great content as always 🙏
Great interview...thanks for posting.
We were literally terrified of this guy and Vic La Roux when we were kids. I kind of laugh now when I think back about how these guys were more than human in the minds of so many Kempo practitioners
Great interview! Love the Jimmy Woo story. Thats what I wanted to know.
This was a fantastic interview! Lots of cool stuff in this video.
Kempo IS very famous thank you For this Doku Upload thankx
Great interview I miss Mister Parker I grew up taking lessons from Joe Huk Frank love those guys
The legacy of this man will live on within the system for eternity. I appreciate all of the research, blood sweat, and tears as well as a lifetime of years. 'Semper FI' Grandmaster Sullivan! I now understand better the importance of the lineages you speak of during your interview.
Superb interview Dan! I have enjoyed your channel since I found it. -A Question, please?... What did the Grandmaster take forward from his Marine self-defense teachings to his current system? Have any forms survived?
Can you elaborate on the question? I'm not sure I'm understanding what you're asking, regarding the Marine. Are you asking what Kata Mr. Sullivan still teaches?
My first martial art was Kenpo Karate, but through Nick Cerio’s lineage
I'm Irish have never had a problem with the English people. In all our struggles it was against a government. We share so much culture sense of humour and history. The way it is going at the moment it's divided and conquer. Was shocked and ashamed when the Irish government said we had to apologise for being to white. They are saying we have to welcome everyone as we emigrated all over the world. Where do the Irish go usually to what is part of the old empire. They talk English might have a friend were they can sleep on the sofa until they get a job and get up and running nothing free. Watch Kevin Sharkey great at getting his point across. Keep up the good work 🇮🇪👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴
The basics!
Interesting... My father in law trained in Kung Fu, Danzan Ryu, Kenpo and Kajukenbo in Hawaii at the Palama settlement in the late 40's and the 50's. He knew Edmund Parker very well... He trained privately with James Mitose when James Mitose lived in Los Angeles... The Author Dan Millman, Joe Lewis, Bob Wall, Jim Kelly, Dan Inosanto and according to a 2010 interview with Jim Kelly so did Bruce Lee (privately) all trained with Gordon Doversola...
Here's a 🍪 for you. You deserve it! 😂
Could you do a episode on the Martial arts that came out of Brooklyn. Brooklyn was a very Martial art rich Borough of New You. Teacher like Professor Vee( Vee Juitsu) Master Moses Powell( Sanuces Ju Jitsu) Master Alan Lee( Wu Su) Master Ron Duncan ( Nin Jitsu),Master George Cofield (Shotokan)Master Richard Sinclair ( Iron Octopus) ETC. So many Exceptional Martial artist Came out of Brooklyn!
East Coast kenpo professor Nick cerio Kenpo and professor Nancy Lee cerio,Lee Do Kan Kenpo is what we have in Rhode island
Thanks for that. I was lucky to become a personal student of Mr Parker for over 10 years until his passing. Much involved the Sparring and Kickboxing parts of the Art and his coaching. Often lacking today.
Salute to Mr Sullivan. 👊
Thanks for doing this interview. I was just wondering why there wasn't any questions about ground fighting or JS Kenpo 5.0?
Very good interview. I respect this however why did I not here about Master Jeff Speakman involvement.. Kenpo 5.0
Because Jeff Speakman 5.0 is an entirely different topic and has no involvement with the Sullivan's system in any way. Mr. Speakman and Mr. Sullivan are not affiliated in any way.
We do however, have a few different interviews with Mr. Speakman himself about Kenpo 5.0
I took kenpo in late 80's early 90's and to be a little bit of a ass I remember 100 and 1 way's to strike the Ball 's of my attacker. good stuff.
INTRIGUING!
0:18 I had always heard that the late Tom Kelly was the first person promoted to 7th degree by Ed Parker in 1979.
This is interesting because some of the information seems fuzzy. Mr. Sullivan was promoted in 1981 by Mr. Parker himself. Tom Kelly claims he was the first 7th degree in "Ed Parker System". Mr. Sullivan was with Mr. Parker in the original Kenpo, not the later Ed Parker/American Kenpo system. He was already working on Karate Connection at the time so that may be the crucial detail there. However, I'm seeing some site date Mr. Kelly's 7th degree promotion in 1970 and that doesn't seem right, since he started training Kenpo in 1964, so I'm not sure if those dates are correct. Mr. Sullivan was training with Mr. Parker in the late 50s.
So I'm willing to be the discrepancy comes from they are each 7th Degrees, perhaps the first promoted...but each in two different version of Kenpo. BOTH men have contributed a lot to the art.
@@ArtofOneDojo Both being the firsts in different Parker systems does make sense. Nick Cerio arguably was the only person Parker promoted to 9th degree (or above 7th for that matter). However, from what I've always heard, it wasn't in Parker's system(s), it was simply in "kenpo karate".
@@barrettokarate Techincally he promoted Elvis to 9th, but that's another story :P
You are correct..."Kenpo Karate" and "American Kenpo" are two different systems both created by Ed Parker. American Kenpo is built on the foundation of Kenpo Karate.
Any info on Grandmaster Vea, 10 Dan from Ohio? He received a 4 Dan rank from Ed Parker way back in the day. Founded the AIKA, taught American Kenpo and other arts.
J avais 10 ans lorsque j ai lu le livre de ed parker..C était en 1966..dans les années 2005..sur Internet j ai vu les images de ce film en noir et blanc des origines qui par rapport au système parker qui a suivit me paraît simple et très efficace sans fioritures inutiles ...
What you think of Fred Villari Kempo Karate? I herd he made his system up from other people's research but it is Kempo though I do have his DVD white to black belt course what you think of his training program and stuff like that?
Do you want to donate your DVDs to needy children who are in need of discipline?
I have no personal experience with Fred Villari. I will be honest and say the little bit of video I have seen I have not been super impressed with, but my opinion means very little since I don't have any experience with it. You will find both people who advocate his training and those who tear it down.
So this was interesting but in my years of studying American Kenpo I've never heard of him but I do know about Joe palanzo and Richard "huk" planas who I thought were supposed to be Parker's top people who were to carry the torch and that's where most of my teaching lineage comes from but I've also heard people talk about Mitchell being the top dog and jeff speakman so it just depends on where you're getting your information from I suppose
There was no one official to take over from Mr. Parker. There were several top guys, many who went in their own direction and many who caused some controversy.
Chuck Sullivan was one of his originals and a definite legacy figure in the art.
If someone tells you that they are the only ones with the 'real " Parker Kenpo, then they didn't fully understand Parker Kenpo.
@@ArtofOneDojo Oh yes I definitely get that I understand that I was just saying it's a mystery to me why I've never heard of him
@@ArtofOneDojo Yes I've never actually been told that by anyone in the system I just personally favor the more original stuff before much deviation but i also understand the whole premise of the system is change and adaption and I would completely agree with you And I am very proficient in both the Parker and somewhat deviated Tracy systems But I'm definitely more favored to the Parker system myself. But what you sad is one of the big 3 lies that will turn me off of any system it's 1 of the 3 lies that you hear in a lot of martial arts studios it's a myth that they have the whole original system. Usually the 3 lies that you'll hear that should turn you away from any school is 1) it came from ancient China only or number 2 it's a secret I learned from my grandfather or master number 3 we teach the most original and best version
@@ArtofOneDojo I'm also starting to understand that very sadly my ranking is probably never gonna be recognized I do not remember us having anything to do with any kind of International Kenpo association of any kind and although the instructor was certified through Joe palanzo I doubt there is any such good record keeping I have also often wished there was a school in my local area where I could start all over again and learn everything from the beginning it's been a while for me I'm fairly rusty even though I keep up with DVD's and training manuals I accumulated
I wonder how he felt about Al and Jim Tracy Kenpo Karate?????
KEN is PO!
Jeff speakman kenpo that he was train by Parker to his kenpo 5.0 is mixed with kenpo and bjj! and he a black belt in both styles he was train by the fames graces in bjj
I never hear of Master Tomas Connor in any of these "Origin of Kenpo stories". I wonder why?
We included him in our "Different Types of Kempo" episode. ruclips.net/video/My47ZD23WDs/видео.htmlsi=ifKuXzXtGKrSmUiV&t=780
...James Wing Woo
FUNCIONA na rua??????????.?
Have you heard of a new movie project coming up, The Last Kumite
I have not. Who's in that?
@@ArtofOneDojo
Well I don’t know much about, but so far I saw it on a RUclips video from Redeye reviews, it’s a project that’s not quite done or ready yet, they have a kickstarter, but it’s supposed to be a movie going to be made in the style of the 80’s and 90’s era like Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Shootfighter, The Perfect Weapon, Best of the Best, Sidekicks, Karate Kid, The Last Dragon, Revenge of the Ninja, No Retreat no surrender, and they’re going to have martial arts action actors from some of those movies, Cynthia Rothrock, Billy Blanks, Mathias Hues, Kurt McKinney and others
@@jaypeve Interesting. I'll have to keep an eye for out for it. Thank you for the heads up :)
Future
Kickboxing
Karate, TKD (Culture & Tradition) an additional feature.
(Kempo, Karate, TKD, Cobra Kai, Eagle Fang, Miyagido fun for the kids)
Kempo & Karate styles, TKD (Reference (to learn from) tradition (like Kenjutsu)
What are you on about?
@@spslayer9113 Karate is taught backwards. Basic techniques for Kyu grades (hand techniques & kicks) then Kata for Dan grades (most of it is old fashioned) weapons, Hojo Undo and other skills are useful. (Kubotan etc)
37:23
San Soo Jimmy Woo???
No, I do not believe so.
Yes, there's only one Jimmy Woo but Chuck Sullivan sucks what he does! I've seen his crap compared to San Soo and he's right, there's no comparison. 😆
Which Jimmy Woo is he talking about ? The guy that created Kung Fu San Soo ?
No, not the San Soo guy, that's Jimmy H. Woo. This was a different Jimmy Woo that a lot of people accuse Ed Parker of stealing from, but it seems it was the other way around.
@@ArtofOneDojo Ahh thank you 🙏
Absorb what is useful and discard what is not...Bruce Lee.
The real interesting question comes down to who finds what information useful. THAT, to me is the real flavor of the martial arts :D
Kenpo vs kyokushin or muay thai will have 1 result. Leg kick
Oh that leg kick is awesome, I did a video about it. Luckily in my Kenpo school our instructor trained MMA guys so we did the leg kick. I learned to take one and deliver a decent one myself. But yes, that kick is probably one of the simplest, yet best martial arts moves out there.
This is Kenpo history from Parkers made up paint by numbers technique version but not real Kenpo that was formed before that.
Incorrect. Parker Kenpo is very different than other Kenpo but no less valid. It's far deeper than just a paint by numbers.
@@ArtofOneDojo It is very different because it was made up by Ed Parker. It is not the original form of Kenpo. Its not even close.Its a series of choreographed techniques that will not work in an real situation. It will only work if the opponent does not know reality based fighting.
@@ArtofOneDojo LOL
" Its not even close.Its a series of choreographed techniques that will not work in an real situation. It will only work if the opponent does not know reality based fighting."
That comment alone, tells me a person either does not have any experience in Kenpo or has had a poor teacher. I have addressed this MANY times in full detail on this channel. Those techniques are not intended to be "copied and pasted" into a person who is just standing there. If that's what you think Kenpo is, you don't understand Kenpo.
and the there is this Juchnik character that claims he learned from James Mitose in a maximum security prison and fabricated the whole kenpo history .
Kenpo? You mean Ryukyu Gung Fu
Nope, we mean Kenpo. American Kenpo and Mr. Sullivan's IKCA Kenpo is incredibly different than the long distant roots it can be traced too.
It's all the same. Do your 145 moves along with the Ryukyu and you'll see 90% is the same.
@@gbody2617 Not at all. The 154 techniques seen in American Kenpo are unique to Kenpo with very specific lessons. There are some minor similarities in movements but the applications, principles, and methods taught and applied are extremely different. If you disagree, please post me a link to a Ryukyu Gung Fu technique that you think is the same as an American Kenpo technique.
Take what he says with a grain of salt
What are you disagreeing with?
Who says I’m disagreeing with anything? I think it’s funny how people want to label this man’s contribution to the art as “going down a different path” or why he chose a different curriculum of techniques to train his students with.. who cares! Do you really think Mr Parker would have disapproved of a modified curriculum or video training? That’s not how I learned but who am I to judge? It certainly shouldn’t take away from the fact he helped so many people get exposed to Kenpo. I just hope that people can see the good work these old timers did and not get caught up with trying to point out the differences . Show the man some respect. He deserves it
Like I said, I totally respect that you did this interview. Keep up the good work
@@stevenkern5848Who are you responding to? I was asking the original commenter what they were disagreeing with. He said "take what he says with a grain of salt", and I was asking him what he disagreed with. I'm not sure why you're responding to me with this.
@@stevenkern5848 I showed Mr. Sullivan nothing but respect. I'm a little confused here my friend.
This entire martial arts fanboy phenomenon is just a bunch of guys who were all nervous and insecure as shit because they knew that they couldn’t really fight, so they all just kept giving each other strokes so that they can keep selling their BS to unknowing kids on the streets.
"this entire martial arts fanboy phenomenon"... Are you saying that all martial arts are BS?
Listening to this guy brag on about fat old Ed Parker helps me understand why there are so many Bruce Lee fan boys around. 🙄🤦🏼♂️😂🤣
I'm curious to know what your experience with Mr. Parker was. Clearly you'd be speaking from experience and not armchair trolling.
@dbuck1964 Ed Parker was respected by Bruce Lee for good reason.
Don't bother, he's trolling. I doubt he has any experience with Mr. Parker, Kenpo, or the martial arts.
IKCA kenpo rocks!!!!!
The guy that coined the phrase I much Rather Fight a guy that knows a 100 kicks then a guy who Practices one kick 1000 times a day is Bruce Lee who coined that phrase
Didnt fred villari promote himself in kenpo?
Yes, though he's from Shaolin Kempo which is an entirely different system. Mr. Sullivan was speaking specifically about his organization, IKCA. They keep it tight and organized, but not all Kenpo systems are like that.
I really appreciate martial arts but I really think MMA has completely done away with going to traditional schools the traditional martial artist is way ineffective events against someone like AMA practitioner
Okay Frankie wankie skankie! MMA is traditional martial arts in a pot stirred up dum dum. There's nothing new under the sun tonto!
MMA has not done away with traditional schools at all. Two very different things. First, most MMA fighters have traditional arts in their background. Muay Thai, Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Taekwondo, Capoeira, Wing Chun, Kempo, Karate....are all very commonly found in fighter's backgrounds.
Look at our episode on the history of Shotokan "Shotokan in MMA". Lyoto Machida constantly uses traditional Shotokan techniques in his matches and wins.
@@ArtofOneDojo thai and judo are completely different than the other nonsense you mentioned.
@@scarred10 They are still traditional arts. And that other "nonsense" you describe has ended many MMA fights. If you haven't seen any fights end with TKD or Capoeira kicks, or Karate techniques, you're not watching. MMA fighters have a lot of different arts in their background. The only nonsense is saying that traditional arts can't work.
@@ArtofOneDojo a single tech working in a fight doesnt mean the art is effective,these pro fighters havent trained in their old styles for many yrs,they train like mma fighters,machida included.
By the way the Jimmy woo he's talking about is a Tai Chi and I think choy li fut practitioner he's not talking about Jimmy H woo the founder of Kung Fu San Soo
You are correct, it's not the San Soo Jimmy Woo. There is another Jimmy Woo that Parker was accused of stealing from, but it was not the case.
@@ArtofOneDojo you should do a video on Kung Fu San Soo at some point, it's pretty similar to kenpo in some ways
