:hammer: Order Oder here, sheesh. Now that you found that site what did y'all think?

:asian:

[Goldendragon7]

I thought Kenpo had the most 10th Degrees ......... after seeing that site or group of sites....... they leave us in the dust!

:asian:

[Rainman]

Did you view the vid clips? Been on the mat with 'em they thought I was a grappler... :rolleyes: NO forms, and no going backwards... they are decent people though. I will never jump off high buildings again. I will never jump off high buildings again. I will never jump off high buildings again. ETC.

[Goldendragon7]

but the overall grades....... well.......

:asian:

[Rainman]

Did ya ever have someone do a tek on you- and during that time you figured out if ya grabbed them by the hair and threw them down your turn would come faster? Or wear yourself out doing california rolls while they were trying to put you in a crucifix? So much for degrees of lethality... So How is the AKSC doing? More people interested in board certification from the members?

I beleive that I, as a mere 6th, will now close my hands and say no more.:asian: :rofl: :asian:

[Goldendragon7]

Man for Dan to wash his hands it must be getting close to hot water! lol (you're not being considered for a soke yet are you)
:)

[Sigung86]

Dennis,

I will nominate you for sokeship and a Black Belt with a gold lamé stripe running the length of same. All I ask in return is that you nominate me for sokeship and a Black Belt with a gold lamé stripe running the length of same.

Barring that, I will buy you one trip through a Chinese Buffet in Kansas City.

How say you Oh Golden Dragon?

Hot Water? Indeed! When have you ever known me to be afraid of a little hot water, or even political hot water? Except, possibly for that time in Tallahassee, when I got caught wearing the Gorilla Costume!:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Dan

[Goldendragon7]

there were a whole lot of 10th degrees on that site....... Geezzz.......... I guess Kenpo does NOT have more 10ths than other arts......:rofl:

[Seig]

Then we better get to work! :rofl: Seriously, I think we need a lot less 10ths. That whole 10th thing is leaving a real sour taste right about now.:(

Hey Seig!

How's 'bout we make up an 11th degree. It could be a Red belt with black degree stripes. Then we could show that website who's really in charge! :rofl:

I heard that too. But I also heard he didn't want it. I heard the
same about Mr Trejo, someone gave him a 10th, he didn't ask
for it, didn't want it. All this info isn't even 2nd hand, more like
3rd or 4th, but if it's true WHAFCK??? Why are people handing
out 10ths??

[GouRonin]

I spoke with Huk and asked him about it.

GR- "I hear you're a 10th now?"

H- "They gave me one."

GR- "What do you think about it?"

H- "It was nice"

GR- "So if someone asks you about it what will you say?"

H- "I don't know. Hopefully they just won't ask."

GR- "See you on the floor in Canada?"

H- "Sure."

...something tells me that he's not too worked up about it.

My instructor told me about this last week so I went to CKF online (http://www.ckfonline.org/) and there is a story there about it.

Here's a link to the story Birthday Bash (http://ckfonline.org/seminars/02/09/05/1338231.shtml) and here is part of the story:

Before Mr. Planas started, Mr. Ed Parker Jr. got up, with urging from the other Senior Ranks there, to announce that against his wishes, Mr. Planas was being elected up to 10th Degree Black Belt. There was much applause, and Edmund continued on, with all of us in agreement, about Huk's dedication to the Art, to his students and to Mr. Parkers memories. About how he has never been one to further his own aims, but to help others long their own.

Was Ed Parker Jr. also responsible for granting Chuck Sullivan his 10th degree as well? I saw on his site that he is also referring to himself as Senior Grandmaster- though i thought the SGM was reserved for Ed Parker only:confused:



"GR- "So if someone asks you about it what will you say?"

H- "I don't know. Hopefully they just won't ask."

- does that mean that Huk is going to take the 5th when asked about the 10th?:shrug:

peace.

[Klondike93]

I hadn't even noticed that he was being refered to as SGM, so it goes back to my original statement, there shouldn't be any 10th's except Ed Parker Sr.

I'm no authority on what Chuck Sullivan does with his business, but I believe he refers to himself as the SGM of the IKCA, his own kenpo style/organization...not of Ed Parker's American Kenpo Karate. So far to my knowledge no one has taken it upon themselves to take the rank of SGM of EPAK....(though I wouldn't be shocked if someone has).

if you have a Senior Grandmaster that would logically call for some other Grandmasters to exist in the IKCA... does anyone know how many Grandmasters they have?

[Klondike93]

The reason for the SGM moniker in the first place was to seperate the creator from others that were calling themselves Grandmaster.

So when you say Senior Grandmaster you refer to Mr. Parker and with all respects to Mr. Sullivan he shouldn't use that title.

Vic LeRoux, the co-founder of the IKCA is a 9th degree now I believe, so i guess that isn't what you would consider a grandmaster, but everyone has their own definition of that now.

i personally don't have an opinion on this chuck sullivan thing either way, i'm not trying to defend or deflate mr. sullivan's credibility or whether or not he deserves to be called SGM. i just don't care all too much, because even if he is the first to call himself SGM, i can garuntee he won't be the last. and it's pretty pointless to debate who should or should not be what.

there's got to be a member of the IKCA on this board somewhere though...he or she can probably shed a little more light than i can on the subject.

Look on the bright side.........

EVERYONE now has the 10th Degree within reach............

yes that may be true- but it's about time some one protected these grand men/women from the unruly kenpo mobs who insist on tying these big bright red stripes around their humble waists...:soapbox:

and who knows who'll be next-- ( i've been working on my humility speech for 25 years now... how's yours coming?...):p

Hee hee....... well it's only about 30 pages at this point..... :rofl:
:asian:

[tonbo]

Well, let's see......

By the time I reach a point where I would even be *considered* for a 10th degree, I would have to have someone make my speech *for* me.

I would be way too old and shaky to actually make the speech myself. That kinda stuff happens when you are over 150 years old, you know......:D

10th degree? ME?? Yeah. I think it will happen.

But pigs will fly, first. :D

Peace--

Hmmmm No, I can't think of any high ranking guys ever getting demoted.

:mad:

There is a guy on the Tracy tree 4th dan page (I think) with "Rank Revoked" beside his name. I believe his name is George Elmer.

[Goldendragon7]

Now he must be real bad ......... for that to happen!!
