This is amazing historical film. Very interesting to see Ed Parker before the 1964 Long Beach International Tournament. I had no idea he made guest appearances on TV in the 1960s and 70s. Thanks for posting.

To be fair, Kenpo isn't noted for its kicks, and Parker was never in very good athletic shape.

I knew Ed Parker well. He honored me with the privilege of opening his first school ever in Hawaii in 1988 on the Island of Kona , the birthplace of James Mitose and the birthplace of Kenpo. I agree Ed Parker wasn’t the amazing technician of Bruce Lee or others (although watch Mr.Parker in the 70’s), his true genius was in his ability to break the martial arts down into it’s components and and understand how they work together scientifically and also using physics. He truly was the Einstein of the martial arts and when you study the man’s works in depth, you will agree. Train hard and keep the flame alive, Joseph Ellerin

Parker looks like he's about to laugh his head off during the kicking bit. Too bad the general rule back then was to not save the outtakes. Would be cool to see just how much laughing they all did while filming this bit.

I've only head of Ed (of the 3 martial artists) in this clip. Live seeing name martial artists make guest appearances. Just for the fun of it. But they rarely make them look good.

I became involve in martial arts about thirty years ago, and I always posses a strong level of respect, and admiration for all the pioneers in martial arts as a whole. Ed Parker did such a tremendous contribution to martial arts, period and no one can deny this known fact. Now, with so many videos on youtube, you can clearly see in this video, either he was being a clown, or was a fake black belt. His foundations, and levels of executions mimic a white belt period, and anyone with experience can clearly see this.

Not to say a completely inexperienced actor could come in and "play" the part of a Karate black belt like this with only a bit of rehearsal, but his demonstration certainly looks closer to this than you'd expect from a Karate master. It might have been impressive in 1963 when Asian Martial Arts were an underground novelty, and viewers wouldn't have know better. But by today's eyes, a novice white belt would look more impressive. That spinning kick was completely amateurish and laughably uncoordinated. It should be a move performed thousands of times but looks like a one off for the camera. That jerky gyrating movement movement during the sparring scene looks like someone who doesn't know what real Karate looks like. He's not even kicking at one point, and is just awkwardly jumping up and down with his knees like he has no ability to kick above his waist. And that spin kick... shows he didn't have the true flexibility and dexterity of a real Martial Artist who performs those moves thousands of times. He was a fraud and a con-man.
