Obviously in his older years there. The kick is ok. How would you kick a tennis ball at groin height? You would point your toes right. Well the tennis ball is someones nuts. I know there's many ways to kick someone in the meat and potatoes. But I think he is highlighting a groin kick there albeit an average one. But we could all find faults in our own techniques! Even masters have some flaws.
This clip was not shot in Venezuela. It was filmed in Hawaii in the 1980's.

Hey if your not a martial artist or a fighter, no need to be a skeptic or critic.
since you have no background knowledge.
If you are however, shame on you.
All martial artist should be taught with respect to all forms of self expression.

I see a lot of ppl making bs comments for more info on American Kenpo ...... Google Hun Gar Kung Fu, Choy Li Fut, and Quan Fa.
"Practice" is the most superb martial art of all.

His form was horrible here. Look at that front kick.

You got some nerve calling Grand Master Parker's form horrible. I doubt that you could do any better.
