opnek Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 I just got out of a seminar with Grand Master Larry Tatum this weekend, and during his question.answer portion, the subject of Mr. Parkers relationship with Bruce Lee came up. It turns out that Bruce Lee was actually a house guest of Mr. Parker for 1 year, and during that time, they exchanged principles/ideas frequently. Thus the probable reason Lee's style has Kenpo influences, and visa versa. 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.

47MartialMan Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Hmmn. Could this be a interpretation by someone that Parker beat Lee?

47MartialMan Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 Yes, but does that mean that Parker "beat" Bruce?
