Sir

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

father of Kenpo Karate. Parker once described as the most dangerous man alive.

I like the way Mr Parker  moves

[TheSubwaysurfer]

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

[TheSubwaysurfer]

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

[TheSubwaysurfer]

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.

@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.
