Jim Park, Kenpo Karate, Master Tatum, Black Belt Test

I am SO very nervous here. I am in awe of testing in from of Master Tatum, one of Ed Parker's most amazing original black belts. This is an excerpt of my second degree black belt test in front of Master Tatum in Ed Parker's American Kenpo Karate. Thank you to Master Tatum and Clyde O'Briant. My Journey in this Martial Art started when I first saw the Perfect Weapon, the defacto Ed Parker's American Kenpo Karate movie starring Jeff Speakman. Here are some grafted techniques: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVaJY-2ADZM and here is a video of a Gun Defense Plus a Bunch of Techniques strung together:

nice but when you cover back after deffending why do you keep your hands up that high?

[kansaskenpo]

at that point, I've already covered twice, done a 360 degree survey of my environment, so I don't think it is so technically incorrect to do so...I was just in that phase of my training...I don't do that anymore...but not because I think it is necessarily incorrect...
