MR. Ed Parker is the master of self defense. Kenpo is the real deal.

"When pure knuckle meet pure flesh..." they should put that quote on a t-shirt...

@talon115 The Muay Thai kick is the most effective and landable kick? Mind telling me the police stats on how many people defended themselves in a street fight with Muay Thai? The Muay Thai kick is desinged for power, but it's slow, and if you miss you miss by a mile. Karate has a variety of kicks, some are like jabs in boxing, others are like crosses and haymakers where you turn your torso into the kick while spinning on the ball of your supporting foot. Muay Thai didn't invent that.

@allinthemix10 The only guy who uses Karate? I don't think so. First of all, Machida is hardly a has been. Second, Chuck Liddell and Frank Mir both use Kenpo, Georges St. Pierre and Bas Rutten use Kyokushin, Neil Grove and Gunnar Nelson use Goju Ryu, Assuerio Silva uses Shotokan, and Seth Petruzelli uses Shito Ryu. People like you really need to stop with your facist mentality that any martial art that doesn't come from Brazil or Thailand has no value or effectiveness.

@44excalibur He is the only guy who uses karate. He lost several times since your writing and is a has been in the martial arts as a top competitor.

@newmedstudent Too late;)

Our branch of the system has been using that quote on stationary and everything else for a long time. Classic Parker!

Dec of 1989 I wrote this comment down in my history of info, I discovered it about 2 days ago. I am suprised I commented on Ed Parker with this. I do respect his theory's and knowledge. Even now I find him amazing. I will never forget when he died around I believe 2 of 1991. My teacher at the time Eddie Chong was suprised and shocked when I told him when I sat with him in Flint MI about Ed Parker dieing.

@arklat wise words...

Guys!, Guys!. Stop the nonsense. You need the mix of boxing, kick boxing, judo and submission wrestling. Sport fighters also have a street style and they are in better shape in body and mind. I use to fight in karate tournaments all the time. When i had to defend myself I just adapted with a wilder side of me. It's called hit the guy first or push him to get it started.

The ability to injure someone is very serious. It should only be used to prevent an attack on you, not to settle a dispute. Assault can send you to prison. Only diable an attaker, do not use lethal force. I earned my black belt in Tae Kwon Do, at 19, and was a real asshole. Luckily, I didn't kill. Now, at 54, I avoid situations that would cause a fight. Learn to defend, not to attack. Avoid being in altercations, so you are not in a situation where you kill by accident.

I was picked on as a young kid, because I was small. My older sister suggested to my dad to send me to karate lessons. I grew up in Sierra Madre, Ca, and the only place to get lessons in 1965 was at Ed Parker's Karate Studio in Pasadena, CA. I was already quite athletic, and I really took to it. Mr. Parker liked my work ethic, and I earned my black belt from him at 17 And he didn't hand them out to just anyone. He also kicked me out because he said I was too violent, and I would kill someone.
