Kenpo/Kempo Roll Call

[Mr. Mike]

I guess mine would go Parker, Sullivan/Leroux, Paul Metz, me. Not too watered down...I do the 55 technique system, but all the principles are indeed there. IKCA to be exact, but still very definitively Chinese Kenpo.

So, all you Tracy people...tell me what the deal is with your style. What happened with Tracy and Parker? How is your system different that the right one (just kidding)? Why is ours so much better than yours (again, kidding)?

Not that I'm biased.

But seriously, though, I'm curious.

Peace;

Sorry kenpo fighter i have to add this,Emperado was a SR student over

Mr Parker when they both still were with chow,after Mr Parker left

Emperado did not go with Parker, he started KAJUKENBO ,

so you see you have his name on the line,and i can see what you mean

but if someone who did not know anything about kenpo would think that Emperado went with parker,hope you understand what i mean

[kenpo_fighter]

you're right, lonekimono.

i did forget that Emparado and Parker both trained under Chow. that was in hawaii, wasn't it? I forget. Martial Arts Geneology is not my strong point. I'll get it down on paper one day. It'd be a good thing to know exactly where my lineage came from. Anyway, I do not train in the American Kenpo system, which Master Parker founded. I train in the original form of kenpo.

[lonekimono10]

you train in Parker kenpo, look kenpo_fighter please go to my web site and it should shed some lite on this whole thing, it will tell you were i came from , because i was in parker kenpo also.

let me know what u think??

[kenpo_fighter]

lonekimono,

you've a very impressive website and alot of good information. but, i must repeat that the form of kenpo i study is not that of master parker's or the american kenpo which he founded. they're all forms of kenpo and come from the same source, but just like any language, they all have they're own "dialects". please go to my school's website and check out master tracy's website as well. the site can better explain my point.

I take Sr. Grandmaster Ed Parker's American Kenpo Karate. I have been in the system for eights months now. I am currently an orange belt.

I have a question though. Why does it seem that everyone bashes Ed Parker and his system? I find it very straight forword and logical. (point of origin)

My proffesior, Mr. Sascha Williams says its because the nay sayers don't really understand the system... whats your opinion?
