shotokanwarrior Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 If you look at parkers stance, Bruce would have opened up with a lead shin/knee kick, Speed does not mean you will win. Where Art ends, nature begins.
Straight Blast Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 But you forget,you will need strength and speed to support your skills. I honestly dont know the answer since i have no clue how fast ed parker is.I do know that bruce lee was a speedy and light footed MAist..dont know to much about ed parker...and i cant make a decision unless i knew some stuff about him.Time to research xD
Jinxx0r Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 F = M*A Force equals mass times acceleration... A guy who is smaller, but fast can hit just as hard as a guy who is big but slow (which is the force side of the equation). You can't really train or improve for speed, it's genetic... but you can get stronger (or basically strong enough). You can improve on your speed up to a point, but your fast twitch muscles and how many you have are genetic (which is why we all can't run the 100 in 9.7 seconds or throw 95 MPH fastballs). Like they say in sports, you can't teach speed. I would rather have speed than power. *shrugs* JMHO O, and I thought the video was pretty cool...

krzychicano Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 I'm a bruce lee fan till i DIE!!!! But that clip of Parker is awesome he is crazy fast...we all can only strive to be that fast. What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others. - Confucius
jedimc Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 Im downloading that clip now , but the other day I downloaded a ed parker commercial from the 60s or 70s im not sure but damn he was very fast, I dont know much about ed parker and kenpo but from kenpo film clips ive seen it looks like a well rounded Martial Art. http://jedimc.tripod.com/ma.html - what MA do you do, this is my poll.
The Saint Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 I'm a bruce lee fan till i DIE!!!! But that clip of Parker is awesome he is crazy fast...we all can only strive to be that fast. I can agree with that, wow...Parker is fast. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to go to his class." Choi, Hong Hi ITF Founder

Patrick Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 Well, I guess the discussion is over then. Seriously, let's remember to leave some room for discussion. It is a matter of opinion. Thanks.
