I wonder what shape Ed Parker kenpo is going to take in the future. Will other systems blend in. Mayby there will only be one art in the future it all blends together. Or will it become a traditional art. Which we know that Mr Parker didn't want it to be???

Food for thoughts

So when can we start adding and deleting things. With out being afraid people say you are not doing Ed Parker's kenpo. Or as we always hear. THATS NOT THE WAY TO DO IT.

I don't know what the Kenpo of the future will be, but I do believe that it is our responsibility to constantly make sure Ed Parker Kenpo is constantly evolving and not traditionalized. :cheers: :drinkbeer

Kenpo was meant to be versitle......... Mr. Parker had numerous ways to do the same thing. I don't understand (well, yes I do) why some don't get it. We have yet another topic to discuss while we drift through the fieords! LOL

What was the first college/university in the history and development of the introduction of American Kenpo taught for credit? Where was the college/university located and whom was the instructor at that time? Sincerely, In Humility; Chiduce

Now you are going to tell us it will be the Reverend Jerry Fawell's Liberty University in Lynchburg Virginia. Although there have been other schools to offer similar programs in the past. What tweaks my nuggets is why you have to ask the question, why not just make the statement! Is it to feel superior?

I am tired of people only asking question to which they already know the answers, if you want to make people feel little use the Kenpo.net.

Will being an American Kenpo Instructor, teaching at a college/university! I just found some info saying that Jay T. Will did teach American Kenpo at Ohio State University; yet i still do not know if he was the first (or if it is true) to do so at any post secondary school! Sincerely, In Humility; Chiduce!

:asian: Yes Sir; Same Dragon Kenpo but Different Organization! Dutch is affiliated with the DKKA. We are the IDKA or International Dragon Kenpo Association! The DKKA is headed by the founder of Dragon Kenpo; Ed. Hutchison. Hutchison is a Tracy Kenpo Black Belt. The IDKA is headed by Master Rodney Lacey; 8th Dan Dragon Kenpo and 10th Dan Hap Ki Mu Sul! The IDKA is not affiliated with the DKKA. Sincerely, In Humility; Chiduce!

This is for both lineages and some are not included. Yet i do know that Master Lacey trained personally under Master Hutchison and is to my knowledge the higest ranking Dragon Kenpo practitioner promoted by Master Hutchison. Ed. Hutchison taught what is believed to be 10,000 students by video before he dropped out of site in the summer of 2000. The IDKA was formed by DKKA Black Belts which had studied other traditional martial arts systems, to bring those whom were without a Headmaster in Dragon Kenpo together for the betterment of the art and the martial arts community. Changes were made in the original DKKA system of operating. Video Testing or testing in person was added and recommended to all those wishing to advance in rank. Instructor Certification was added and left up to the Board Member issuing the certification to recommend video testing or produce their own criteria for instructor certification. We have currently, members from the styles of American Kenpo, Goju Kempo, Chinese Kenpo, Hapkido, and of course Dragon Kenpo etc, whom range in ranking from lower kyu students, to 1st Dans, to Soke! The IDKA Board Of Directors consist of DK certified instructors, founders of new systems and ranking practitioners! Sincerely, In Humility; Chiduce!

I don't know about all these posts................ I was just curious as to What will he be teaching. The question was not intended to draw criticism but rather exactly what the curriculum would entail.

I think a good Kenpo course at any college anywhere would be awesome.

;) Sir, i do not exactly know what his particular cirriculum will entail. I will e-mail him for that information and post it when i receive his answer! The other question i asked about the first American Kenpo instructor teaching on what college/university campus and where was just that. Maybe you can give some insight to this question? It would be honorably appreciated! Sincerely, In Humility; Chiduce!

That's easy ........ BYU Utah, in 1954 by Ed Parker. There have been several across the US over the years ...... Of which I could't remember who and where they were. I think every U should have a good Kenpo class in it!! But obvioulsy, Im partial to My system!!

I met Mr. Parker once in either 87 or 88 and talk about being in awe!! I had all these questions and the only one I could ask was what was it like to know Bruce Lee. I couldn't believe how easy going he seemed to be too. Something I will never forget.

My instructor told me that the first time he met Mr Parker ...
Mr Parker's first words were "I'm HONORED to meet you".
My instructor said his jaw was touching the floor, and he's
thinkin', "You gotta be kidding me! The honor is ALL MINE believe
you me!" hehehehe They talked for like 15 minutes later, and
then he called Mr Parker to join his organization 6 months later
(he had a TKD school that he changed to Kenpo). Mr Parker
answered the phone, and all that my instructor got out was
his name, and Mr Parker treated him like he knew him all his
life. He remembered every single bit about their 15 minute
conversation from 6 months previous! It's no wonder so many
were so impressed!

You know I could probably talk about Mr. Conatser for the rest of my life. Its an honor to be trained by him, he has in a way been a father figure for me growing up. Of course my adventures with him had some bumps in the rode, thats how I got the "ronin" name. But I look forward to learning and maybe being an ambassador for the I.K.K.O one day, who knows? Being with him has enabled me to see and meet Mr. Parker many times when he would visit the studio and when I would go to the internationals. One time, I remember being at his house and Mr. Parker showed us his Elvis cape and sunglasses. It was cool he sat down on the piano bench while Mr. Conatser visited his family, and told me and the four girls that came with us on the trip some jokes. Mostly I remember him tell me as he talked about Mr. Conatser "Stick with him, he knows what hes doing." I even had the priviledge of performing in front of him as a training dummy during a friends 3rd brown test. Man I can still see him now, with his folded arms and spooky ominous stare he had watching us. Man I was intimidated and it was'nt even my test!! I can honestly say there is no one like Mr. Conatser out there he is truly one of a kind much like Mr. Parker. As for my specific lessons learned from him that would take a lifetime and perhaps a bit longer........
