I Read a story long time ago about Ed Parker a guy in his 50s never knew anything about martial arts came in to his studio the guy was in a bad time in his life and wanted to give it a try he met Ed Parker and said id like to be able to get a black belt but i'd probably fail like everything else and i'm to old Ed said to him how bad do you want it and gave the guy a chance Ed pushed the guy taught him and the guy achieved his goal and got his black belt Ed told him Age has nothing to do with it in life if you want something you can do it the guy was a different person and sorted him self out and got over his problems thanks to Ed and regained his confidence Rip Ed Parker

I am partially disabled now but would REALLY like to get back into it again if I cN get stong enough and regain some flexibility. I also did Hapkido/Kuk Sool and a little mma.

@@deanlidell3303 Don't give up Dean Lidell. There is always a martial art for you. Follow your rythm. Talk with your instructor to respect that. I don't look like it but I was struck witth an inflammatory bowel disease ulcer colitis at an early age of 17 years old. I was one of the fittess person out there before my illness. Probably would have been able to achieve most of Bruce Lee's physical prowes. I remember watching the movie Remo Williams and thinking I could achieve the 1 finger two hands stand that the Shinanzu master Chiun did watching his favorite soap on tv. I never was able to do it on 1 finger per hand, but I was starting to hold the stand on 2 fingers per hands. Believe it or not I was that gifted and determined. By age 20 I got my colon and rectum removed. Luckily I was one of the first to in the early 90's receive a surgery to build a pouch within my stomach. So I did not suffer the humilation to have an outside pouch for a young man. Today I train mostly at home by myself (especially since covid19), but I did not quit. Well I did for a few years, but got back to it. I respect my body and do what I can. It doesn't show, outside that I have to make extra efforts, because when people see me I am well enough to train, but sometimes I feel uncomfortable and you cannot function like before 100% without the big intestin. Anyways. The point to be made is this, If you have two legs and at least one arm or the opposite (a figure of speech), you can practice your Kenpo or another martial art. So don't give up. I did not. So you can with steady will and efforts, respecting your body.

Mr. Ed Parker's American Kenpo Karate is a system of fighting that is designed around many concepts and principles such as compliance,commited action, angles of execution, and target alignment. To understand all of this systems concepts and principles is to know why Kenpo is so affective and practical in any combat scenario.

'Mr Chong has been recommended by Hong Kong.' Wow. Ed Parker in 'the Pink Panther,' as Mr Chong, was what every kid needed to see in the 70's. Back then, not everyone thought they knew everything. Nowadays you have 'experts' who quote the internet about ANY subject, and what false wisdom promotes is this overuse of this brain function called - 'memory.' You have to 'forget' to actually learn. And then you forget what you learned, but that's how you 'open' a world up, instead of relying on 'answers' for your self confidence, which narrows your expertise to what you say. So. You're always talking, too, because if you don't, you forget. Seeing Ed Parker break boards is the BEST reason to get into martial arts. And it's actually how a cool, impressionable kid thinks . . STILL.

He was Elvis Presleys body guard. He also grew up in honolulu which if you knew about Hawaii (Not the tourists part) it is very rough, and the people will kill one another for somethings like tail gating. He was tall, and weighed a lot. But he moved so fast. My dad got bumped up by him, and he explained how he would move so fast, and just hit you like a train.

I am not a Kenpo practitioner (though I would like to be! A health condition limits my athletic pursuits, unfortunately setting a discipline like Kenpo off limits). But even as just a semi-dedicated observer, I can see that Ed was an accomplished man. There are of course the points you made already, but the thought that clearly was behind the design of his system of self-defense was original and logical. Authentic American Kenpo has a number of techniques that are very effective.

For the record I also studied BJJ. I work in a prison and Kenpo is very effective in real life situations. Also Chuck Lidell was a blackbelt in Kenpo.

The most interesting thing is that without much hip rotation and a quick snappy retraction of his punch he broke the three boards. That's easy to do with a thrust and full rotation and follow through. Not so easy with that seemingly light flick. It tells me even in his old age he had a lot of power in even his short range snappy strikes. And in his prime would have been formidable. Consider few white haired sixty year olds do breaking! thanks for sharing. where is this from?

I've read most of the post and it's sad to see the disrespect. Mr Parker was great man and a great martial artist. As for the MMA there are some skilled fighters I agree, but it does have rules, no strikes to the groin, throat, temple, back of the neck. Kenpo in a street fight strikes to all these areas with devastation. You go to the ground and your tied up with one person and doesn't work well with multiple attackers. Stay on your feet at all cost, but as a last resort be prepared if your taken to the ground.

I think no one can’t deny Bruce Lee is the most important and influential martial artist in XX century. With that said, Ed Parker was his counterpart. If Lee was the water, Parker was the steel. Both very important. Bruce was about freedom, instinct, reaction. Parker was about, form, rules, structure.

What we must remember is that the boards are being "supported." They are braced. A human is moving and is not braced. A kick or punch might just glance the ribs. The boards being held are stationary. You might strike or kick and if the boards were moving backwards, the strike or kick might have little impact. Pine is a fairly easy wood to break compared to oak. Oak is considered a "hardwood" while pine is considered a "softwood." On the other hand, American Kenpo is a great no nonsense martial art.

Board breaking is a useful tool, mainly for building confidence and because people think it's cool. It's not hard, you don't really break the board as much as split it across the grain. The secret is the board holder; if they know how to select the boards, align them, and then hold them then all you have to do is hit them hard. Before she passed I got my grandmother to break three one inch pine boards with a sword hand. She did it on her first try, at age 84, with maybe three minutes of training. A good board holder can get almost anyone to break at least two boards with almost no training.

I disagree, sir. 3/4 inch boards are very easy to break, but it really depends on the people holding the board. They HAVE to provide the correct resistance or the break can’t happen. I broke 5 1 inch boards( actually 3/4 inch) with a sliding side kick with NO spacers. I also broke 8 boards with a hammer fist technique the same way. You just need the proper resistance. 1:28

As a forty year practitioner of Tae Kwon Do and boxing I can tell you that breaking boards is a faulty measure of power. Especially boards that are braced. There are some beneficial aspects to board breaking. Suspended speed breaks to demonstrate precision, etc. But to really judge the quality of the punch or kick one should look at the body movement behind the break. Hip rotation, shoulder snap, etc. Finally, you should think hard about the benefits of breaking vs the risks. I have broken many cement slabs, patio blocks and boards over the years. I no longer recommend it to my students. Arthritis , weakened structure of the striking instrument, etc. Strengthen your body and the points of contact with diligent mitt and bag work, work a sand filled bag every now and then barehanded if you are already proficient w technique.

Interesting points but JKD is still a prominent art and is still growing as is Kenpo. While it may not be in the limelight at the moment as Krav etc. is (but that will die down too), Kenpo is very popular in Europe and other parts of the US. I've been to Kenpo camps and they are very busy with a lot of dedicated students.

His last comment sort of mirrors the phrases, 'winning the war without firing a shot' or perhaps even 'the art of fighting, without fighting'. I remember reading somewhere ages ago, that some folks turned up at a session where Bruce Lee was teaching, intent on causing trouble, so Bruce got his two best students front and centre, to execute a technique he had shown them. The 'visitors' were suitably chastened and went on their way. That's the rumour anyway.

youre right,sports fights are quite different than self defnse due to several factors,not least the fact that theres no start point on the street,preemption reigns supreme in that environment so thats the only way kenpo could work.Once the swinging starts ,a style without fullcontact and wrestling is lost because theyve never been there before,if youve done both of those very often,you react automatically,no thought needed.

The effective fighters using kenpo Ive only ever seen come out of Steve Muhammeds BKF. Steve was def' a top fighter in the blood n guts era thru to mid 70s, and really fast. He took his knowledge from sparring, modified alot of kenpo techniques to make them work with real distance and timing. The differencebetween BKF and EPAK is night and day. Hats off to all who train in martial arts with seriousness, but I cant see how trying to apply EPAK techniques is beneficial, and if someone does win a fight with those techniques, theyre probably a natural fighter where the particular style they do is a minor detail. Kajukenbo is also a kenpo related style (but no Parker influence), and that has good efficient methods in fighting in my opinion. Parker was instrumental in the blossoming of American karate, mainly through his open tournaments, for me.

The problem is that people put titles on everything and unfortunately mix things up. I've done years of self defence training and keep my skills sharp but I don't need to learn tonnes of stuff as what's needed can be learned quite quickly and then honed through practice.

One thing that i appreciate about Ed Parker breaking the boards in this video is he didnt feel the need to still hit the guys holding the boards for him unlike Steven Seagal in Jesse's video who broke the board and still smacked the young man in the face in the process its kinda dickish

Is anyone still impressed with breaking pine boards? Try 1/4 inch plywood and finger strikes.

Anyone who disrespects a martial art practitioner by saying he's not a real martial artist because he didn't win a tournament, his style is a trash, etc. completely missed the point of studying a martial art. If you don't like a style, then don't practice it, but show some respect for those who do. Judging from your chair doesn't make you a better man than he.

He goes on to say "We need to get more from our training than just being able to crack heads - because that is actually quite easy to learn. Especially when we should then be spending our time avoiding trouble and therefore not needing those skills anyway"

Here's the thing. I am a Self Protection instructor and have trained in this area for too many years. I like the martial arts and the health benefits one can glean from then. The Kenpo I learn doesn't have that many rules and is the John McSweeney lineage, a very straight-forward system, this is not EPAK.
