Great martial artist , teacher , and humanitarian of the Martial arts. You will be missed. God bless KENPO.

I studied in an Ed Parker studio many years ago. It was an excellent experience. I also met Ed in person once. What an amazing human being. He is sorely missed.

Once FGM Ed Parker passed I followed his advice, “Be a rebel for change!” Which I did. The problem is that many followers of FGM, Founding Grandmaster Ed Parker get caught up in the exact physical motion as he taught decades ago. I follow his teachings to continually improve the art and yourself and his teaching methodologies were brilliant! Using stories and metaphors in teaching to help better communicate ideas faster and more efficiently. I was one of the first to add MMA, mixed martial arts, and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in the early ’90s. At our school BVKJ, we changed the techniques many techniques to make them simpler and more effective in today's environment of combat. FGM Ed Parker would have wanted us to keep improving the system, and I have… He passed almost two decades ago, the world of martial arts has changed more in the last two decades than it did two hundred years prior, i.e. internet, NHB, MMA, UFC, and on and on. 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

He had a good life. And he left a legacy.

An epic man! Wisdom and honor. Evolving possibilities. Thank you for a great video

Excellent! Thank you. 🙏

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

I wish Mr Parker was my instructor.

Ed Parker had Gene LeBell fight to represent the Karate community against a boxer.

I remember he played a killer in one of the pink panther movies !

Not bad style. Good video!

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.

Other than that, Kenpo really isn’t for commercial settings anyway. Not for sports and spectacle if u ask me.

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!

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.

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 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. "

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.
