parkerlineage Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 If that's the truth, then yes, it would be...(1 minute later): Yep, you speak the truth. Kenponet.com's family tree has Jim Clapp directly under Ed Parker. That's pretty cool, man.Peace;Parkerlineage American Kenpo Karate- First Degree Black Belt"He who hesitates, meditates in a horizontal position."Ed Parker
JoeDeezy Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 Our organization is IKKA. I don't know my lineage, and I don't know where to find out. I train under Jim Clapp, 8th Degree Black Belt.EDIT: Actually, I've been looking around, and I think Jim Clapp(8th) and his wife Judy (6th) both trained directly with Ed Parker. So then, would my lineage be Parker/Clapp/me?Hey, just registered, when i saw your post, cause i train there too. Wondered if anyone else was on here...
parkerlineage Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 DKizzle and JoeDeezy, what rank are you guys, and how long have you been training?Just wonderin'...Peace;Parkerlineage American Kenpo Karate- First Degree Black Belt"He who hesitates, meditates in a horizontal position."Ed Parker
JoeDeezy Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 I was a student at AKS in Newark when I was a kid, and got to Purple, but quit because I really didn't like it.I started again this February almost 20 years later. So it's been about 3 months. I'm there almost every day, almost every class, and love it now, I would go 3-4 hours a day if they would allow it.Just got my Orange stripe (white>yellow>orange>o.stripe>purple...). And I'm looking forward to starting Sparring next week.
DKizzle Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 It's cool somebody else from AKS is on here. I just got my Blue Belt in May. So I guess I may see you in the Advanced Classes when you get your Purple Belt. Or I may see you in Sparring if you do Thursday nights.
