FGM Ed Parker was a genius! But, don’t get caught up in his physical motion, but his logic will set you free as it has me.
I remember in the 70s great respect to ed parker kenpo karate i trained 80s 90s bodybuilding gained weight as a personal trainer boxing 🥊 judo today age 63 shotokan karate
When I was 10 I won the IKKA East Coast Karate Championship (PeeWee) and during that tournament I got kicked in the family jewels by an 18 year old who lied about his age. I had a cup on but it still dropped me. Master Parker brought me over a Hershey which I turned down. I really didn't want to eat at that moment. On a side note, my mother sang with Elvis once on a train they both were traveling on. Master Parker was always and still is my hero
master ed parker was a very dangerous man,i studied this kempo at TRACO ACADEMY 40 TH BROADWAY,for 7 years,the flexibility of the martial arts is amazing,it even helped in my job,i've envountered 3 knife fights living in 4 different cities,if it weren't for KEMPO i would be dead,fact,learn this from a real kempo instructor and fear nothing
I study martial arts never attack always just for self defence mind body spirit you are in shape criminals don’t take care of them selves remember nutrition key to energy

i defended his honor vs the tracy brothers who i quit training with because of thier lies about him and bruce lee be true to yourself all these years later and many many fights later i can tell you this fighting to save your life has a spiritual side to.it that you just cant acess in mma or boxing when your lifes really on the line ive fought in every way possible and thats true i used to sleep at night to ed parker and bruce lee talking then walked into a joe lewis gym rip ed parker ty for everything
Bob can't show us a single fight he's had that's my point hes a bitch like the Tracy brothers another fraud did u buy your black belt off al tracy Bob? you cant even post a video kicking the bag with power you're another fake who paid the Tracy's for a fake belt we all know that
Malibu Bramacari It’s a journey for both the martial artist and the art itself. Kenpo is alive and well in Seattle, Wa for a fact. We gotta just keep bringing up new white belts. The rest is life.
It's been my experience that different styles and even different schools of the same style use different names for the same techniques. For example: I was taught "leopard fist" for the fore-knuckles fist/punch in an Ed Parker studio, yet a couple of years later, in a Tracy studio, they called the same technique a "half-fist" punch. The names are irrelevant, as far as I'm concerned. It's the validity and usefulness of the technique that really matters.
Looking at this i cant really agree with some of the techniques here there are lots of circular movements that to me seem wasted As a wing chun man i am conditioned to respond in a straight line and to me that makes sense, but im pretty sure the philosophy is sound and that the art did indeed evolve over time i particularly like the "dance of death" and im considering utilising the principle to fit in with my own training I have a background in Lau Gar & JiuJitsu and together with wing chun the range would be just perfect!
Ed Parker trained Bill Packer who made a nation wide franchise and produced himself an 8 person team of world champion kick boxers including Chuck Liddell
And when was the last time you were able to put someone in a triangle on the street without his buddies stomping on your face for being bound up with someone and on the ground
He talks practicality and created the most impractical system of combat ever made, without energy .motion , prefight, or pressure testing, static compliant drills, step through much defenses, ridiculed concenpts, and pure fraud cult nonsense and calls himself a street fighter, a Norman boy who never drank , or stayed up late and would not drink coffee , what fights is he talking about???? Who was not even a black belt, who comes ge n stations of people who don't know the first thing about the nature of street survival sad, but he was only one of many ,dillman, bartvale,dux,such a kim, and a billion others.
If you think it isnt practical and has no energy you don't know kenpo, and quite obviously have never trained in it or trained in a hack studio that took the material and never trained themselves.
Lyle Temple boring comment if your going to say anything at least make it interesting, probably best if you just just stay quiet and let the adults talk
If you are such an authority on Ed Parker's ' deficiencies ', WHY didn't you attend at least ONE of his seminars or tournaments and PUBLICLY ' educate ' HIM ? From personally being around Ed Parker and training with him, I can assure you that YOU would have been in for a SERIOUS EDUCATION if you would have ever ' jumped him ' in the street at night !! ** He had only TWO RULES that he lived by for ' street fights '. 1. You never kick anything BELOW the soles of the opponent's feet. 2. You never kick a WOMAN in the testicles. * Other than those rules, EVERYTHING ELSE was ' open season ' ! ** There is an old adage that goes as follows : " It is easy to be brave from a distance. " ** There is another one that says " dead men can't defend themselves. "
this is the 2nd page ive found you commenting on and using much the same verbage (copy N paste anyone) if your so knowledgable then lets see evidence merely talking isnt gonna cut it on a page such as this prob all martial artists here with some crebibility to our names what about you ? who are you?
@@pyramidselfdefencesolution9214 I clicked on the guy's picture by his negative comments about Ed Parker and the Kenpo system, and all I saw were listings of various martial arts movies. * I was expecting to see some shred of credibility. Am I missing something here ? Is there more to his RUclips site that I am missing ?
Kenpo technique C'not be applied at a real fight for its just a technical thts all and Ed Parker is teaching 'nothing ' but a 'Silat ' movement labeled with the name of 'Kenpo ' . This man fake the technique.
I have personally used Parker lineage kenpo in real fights more than once, it works without question and has been improved greatly under Paul Mills. You bring the accusation, you should provide proof of your claim. If you dont understand the principles behind each movement, both major and minor than you have no idea of how its used or works which is apparent.
@@xOm3gAx1 Bull shits ! In the real fighting world there's no such thing as 'kenpo or 'Sensei ' & no rules to the exception. No real street fighter even the late Bruce Lee is all orchestrated.
Great martial artist , teacher , and humanitarian of the Martial arts. You will be missed. God bless KENPO.

True martial artist he died way to early.
His diet shortened his life
He died bcse people lke him is too arogant to except failures and he is also a sore' looser to the other arogant fellow called Bruce Lee ?
@@malibubramacari4161 JERK face
@@jerelkenworthy3368 yes, why not be a jerk rather than an ego?
Looking at pics of Mr. Parker before he died, he looked like hell, he looks sick. Did anyone say anything to him, was he seeing a dr?
Pray an act of perfect contrition everyday
Wow
Not bad style. Good video!
Do u have an HD version of this!
I remember he played a killer in one of the pink panther movies !

Looks like kenpo is meant to exploit loopholes in shotokan
Outdated concepts for self-defense for today’s street defense.

Punch so hard no one would believe it.i saw d parker in a movie. Fuckin awesome.
E wing chun chinês....
Where lines end, circles begin, where circles end, lines begin. 🙏🙌

Técnicas peye. En una situación real no sabe uno que va a pasar
He usado Kenpo en situaciones reales, es altamente adaptable y nunca he tenido problemas con él.
@@xOm3gAx1What do you think of Chinese Kenpo?
Long live the art. Oss.
Sorry dudes, the art is dying bcse all his student hve gven up kenpo bcse this fight is not recognize in the martial art world ?
Malibu Bramacari It’s a journey for both the martial artist and the art itself. Kenpo is alive and well in Seattle, Wa for a fact. We gotta just keep bringing up new white belts. The rest is life.
Other than that, Kenpo really isn’t for commercial settings anyway. Not for sports and spectacle if u ask me.
He got one thing wrong it's crane's beak not eagle
It is eagles beak and if it was changed happened after akka was dissolved and ikka was formed
Crain hand using the fingers tips Eagles beak using the middle finger protruding knuckle.

Wing chun has one of the most sound set of street principles however always move forward using the shortest distance and straightest line
I Pass on this. What he was taught in Hawaii is way better for self defense. This is lacking the hard art.
