  • @hat152 and you also need to get the facts straight....Parker did not cut off anyone he was resistant to taking the kenpo public in a franchise system thinking it wouldn't fly but...lol and behold it took off like a rocket. Then he wanted in however was no longer needed so in effect cutoff...He was offered the opportunity to take the organized system and do what he wanted with it but ego prevenmted him

  • "this costume?" hahaha

  • confederate karate? i love the authentic jap electric guitar! lol! oh and uh good place to end the video. Billy Jack would kick this short little sister fuckers ass, but it would be a tuff race race for first for worst actor! lol!

  • Parker kenpo > Tracy kenpo

  • hmmm tracys is the original kenpo that parker taught...then he watered down kenpo and got american kenpo...

  • Strangely compelling clip. I never realized before how short the late Nick Adams was. And he obviously was losing his hair in the front. Rather amusing & quaint to see it pronounced "ka-ra-ta".  I assume that Confederate flag on his studio wall was due to his starring role in the TV Western "The Rebel". How sad that Nick left us too soon in the late 60's due to a suspicious drug overdose...poor guy's career was REALLY in the doldrums at that point. THANKS for sharing this with us!

  • Thanks! That answers a lot! I'm sure you've heard of ICKA or Triangle Kenpo that has around 55 techniques.

    A lot to learn, regardless

  • The 600+ tech's were added by Tracy's to try to validate what they were doing. Mr. Parker refined the scope and curriculum to minimize the amount of repeat principles or concepts being taught in the "system". And while it is true that he cut it down by count, the volume of what was being taught didn't really change...

  • As a whole I guess...were the 600+ techniques in Tracy 'old' Ed Parker? (I heard Ed may or may not have drastically cut down on # of techniques). Or did Tracy add those after the split?

  • Me personally or as a whole? You must differentiate between the two... Traditional Parker Kenpo in my humble opinion (as a whole) is ugly and antiquated in its application of linear motion... but that's just my opinion.
