Little Dragon Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 Parker was the one that introduced Mr. Lee to hollywood, and started his film career (Green Hornet). Mr. Lee would seek the advice of Mr. Parker frequently. Yes ed parker did introduce bruce to hollywood at his demo in long beach.And yes he did ask parker for adivce because during the process of jkd bruce swaped styles a lot...and kenpo was a style he did learn eventually...but im not 100% if it was from parker. ''..During that time bruce was my kenpo instructor..'' -dan inosanto ''I know what your thinking.........did I shoot you 3 times? or did I shoot you 472 times?''
opnek Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 Ummm not too sure about that^^. Wasn't he one of Bruce's students also? Ed was great as was Mike Stone and Chuck back in those days. Bill Wallace great but only used his left leg. I promise you, im not kidding: http://home.coqui.net/jlromang/brustor2.htm http://www.usadojo.com/bioedparker.htm "This is not to berate Bruce. It is to point out that he wasn't some "mystical" know all see all god. He did have help. Bruce had about 88-90% to do with the shape of JKD, with James Yimm Lee, Dan Inosanto Wally Jay, Ed Parker, Jhoon Rhee and a few minor others taking the rest of the percentage (James, Dan, and Wally take the greatest percentage in that order, with the rest in descending order and very little percentage.)" - excerpt from http://www.wingchun.com/JKD.html If you read "The Journey" it has tons of interesting facts about Lee / Parker. http://ltatum.com/ (Scroll down to the bottom) Cheers.-There are no pure styles of karate. Purity comes only when pure knuckles meet pure flesh no matter who delivers or receives.-An ounce of logic can be worth more than a ton of tradition that has become obsolete through the weathering of time.
Jbone1 Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 Interesting thanks. I didn't get to read the journey you got to buy it. Anyway that doesn't mean Ed Parker would whoop up on Bruce. "What's your style?""My style?""You can call it the art of fighting without fighting."
opnek Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 Interesting thanks. I didn't get to read the journey you got to buy it. Anyway that doesn't mean Ed Parker would whoop up on Bruce.Im not saying he would kill Bruce, Im saying, Parkers black belts gave him a run for his money on a regular basis. Lee was an amazing fighter, im not trying to take anything away from him, Im just saying, Parker did beat him, parkers guys did beat him, and im sure Lee put a fair beat down on them as well.

Some people talk and say things to make them look better and few speak the truth. "What's your style?""My style?""You can call it the art of fighting without fighting."

It had nothing to do with what you wrote. But what i wrote about the fastest and all that, I have read from other books and magasines not written by Bruce Lee.
