It is my limited understanding that Mr. Parker trained under Mr. William KS Chow. Mr. Chow also taught Mr. Emperado who formed Kajukenbo. During this interview Mr. Parker never names Mr. Chow but just says "the man I studied with" 1:46 from this video. I may also be wrong but Mr. Will Tracy (the brother of Mr. Al and Mr. Jim Tracy and former students of Mr. Parker who went on to form Tracy Kempo) earned his 1st degree blk blt from Mr. Chow too. Thank you for your time. Osu
In past interviews Parker eludes to being a street fighter, meaning he knew what worked and what didn't. He based his system on how the body moves, how it reacts to being struct, and on continuous motion. This may seem corny to some, but when he was doing ts it was unheard of for a westerner to have the audacity to come out with his own system
Interesting how people feel free to comment on Parker being fat out of shape etc etc without regarding a few factors. First off, Parker has a big frame, not unlike Mass Oyama who could hop the horn if a bull... Second, he is an older man. I know youngsters like to think they will remain lean and trim into their fifties and sixties but that's often not the case. Third, we don't know what other health issues Parker was dealing with. Maybe his body retains excess water, maybe he's asthmatic.
...and president of U.S TAI., Andy Watford said about me during a seminar of TAI students. Not only do you sound like an underbelt, I'm sure Mr. Norris can STILL clean your clock - - even at his ripe old age of 70.~THE WIDOWMAKER
Sir, I'm a rokudan in TAI JUTSU, still active at 65 and can still hold my own. Picture this in your mind "gomergilligan"... I was "awesome back in the day..." Judan and president of U.s.
great video , thanks for sharing it. so many things that seemed lost keep popping up on youtube, it's awesome. Mr. Parker could certainly think on his feet as it were, i love both watching him move as well as talk. whether you are into Kenpo or not he was a true pioneer and a huge step forward in the Martial Arts. and the Man could certainly tear it up when he wanted to.
@mikeshredder233 You're a complete idiot and it's obvious that you're head is full of shit. Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris did spar. Richard Bustillo and a few other people witnessed it. Bruce and Chuck only used open hand slaps on each other because they just wanted to test themselves and not actually fight. After the match, Chuck's face was beet red from all the slaps Bruce landed while Bruce's face was unmarked. If I were in front of you right now I"d smash your face in just for your ignorance.
@MrPomeroyWatson - yeah, I saw Chuck training in person - he was good but not great - his spinning kicks were like an average 3rd dan taekwondo practitioner. His hands were not there - if it was just using hands - an average boxer would've killed him.
hello all i have much respect for Mr. Parker, rest in peace sir. what a beautiful art. if I have the opportunity to study martial arts, i would like to study Kenpo Kararte, (hoped i spelled the art right, sorry if i didnt.)
i would not be surprised at all if Mr. Parker walked down dark alleys kicking ass. the demo was awesome. no doubt he was a very powerful and very knowledgeable individual.
thank you for uploading the video, take care friend.
@hanno21664 he does not only look powerful in this videos but also like an amicable and simple person.he doesnt appear to be selfish or arrogant for all the attention he brought with american kenpo.
@mikeshredder233--Listen here, curs-ed fucker! Stop accusing others of what you are guilty of. You obviously lack any real knowledge or you would not say that cardio is just a catch phrase. I eat more pussy in one weekend than you ever will in your pathetic little life. Amusing as hell. Besides. I've been a disciple of JKD since before your beloved MMA caught on to the public. Bruce Lee is the godfather of MMA. You don'd know shit and you can't play guitar worth a fuck.
IT DOESN'T SIT WELL WITH ME THAT ED LOOKED MORE COMFORTABLE SITTING DOWN THAN STANDING UP. WHY DID HE NOT CARE ABOUT HIS CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM? JUST DOING A MINOR DEMO HE SOUNDED WINDED. THAT IS NOT THE TRAIT OF A TRUE MARTIAL ARTIST.

Bruce Lee highly respected this man. That should be enough to shut the mouth of naysayers.
