Mister vee

Well I've been looking around my area and what I am basically looking for it an art form thats more offensive and in tune with more striking then grappling. I have some kung fu places around me, but the one that sticks out the most is a kenpo dojo down the street from me. The instructor has a good reputation and its a parker -planas lineage. What is most important is what i want to achieve from this. I want to learn self defense, and most importantly I want to be able to spar alot and learn an art form. I would also like to enter tournaments as well and compete. So I ask is this a good choice for me, or should I concider something else?

ur all wrong because its obvious he would be competiting aganist gorge foreman in the grill buisness

post it

yeah thats what i keep on hearing. welp i still need to make my comeback from acl reconstruction before i enter kenpo but ya i heard nothing but good things about the parker/planas lineage

well i guess it would be a 2nd generation student or his teachers teacher. i trained under mike cappi who trained under richard planas... i beleave this is the case his website really doesnt get into it but im sure thats how it went. I'll get the info when i go in to talk to him i guess but thanks for the great info parkerlineage

thanks i apreciate the feed back

now when i was younger around 10 years ago i was a student under someone taught by parker but anyways im thinking of going back but i wanted to know some info if american kenpo and japenesse kenpo are about the same... is parkers teachings the real deal? or should i look otherwise
