Does anyone have any video clips of Ed Parker Sr.?

If so, so you have a link or post them for us to see?
It would be nice to gather them in one place.

Mr. Parker doing Five Swords.

Click on Ed Parker Five swords.
That was cool I suppose, but my instructor has vids where Mr. Paker really gets some pin action on his opponents. One guy gets knocked or rather thrown right into a swimming pool. There is one of a bunch of Kenpo seniors fighting and I think it shows Either Raineer Schults, or Bob White(I don't remember which) bleeding like a stuck pig. These guys were brutal. Ah, the good old days.

Ok I am no a Kenpo Stylist but after watching these video clips and other things I have seen, this style looks awesome!
I study Kung Fu but if I could learn another style I would definately love to try Kenpo. I don't think there are that many schools in England though and the ones that do exist are 100s of miles away! I saw some techniques that reminded me of some of the things we do in Kung fu and the trapping that is in Wing chun. Kenpo seems to emphasise a lot of fast hand strikes in acurate combination. It looks amazing!
But why did Ed Parker choose to name Kenpo, "Kenpo Karate"? I know it has its root in Chinese Martial Arts and Karate is a Japenese word! its just so confusing!

You have to remember we just had a war with Japan, and Karate was a very popular sport in Japan. The term Karate came to mean asian Martial Arts in the mind of your average American. So the question became,"what style of Karate do you study?". And the answer is of course Kempo or Kenpo. These words are derived from "chuan fa", or hand of china. In Japanese Kempo means Law of the fist, or more precisely, the parameters defining how you use your fists. Our parameters are defined by Ed Parker; so, Ed Parker's American Kenpo Karate means, Your method of using your fists and your emty hands, with parameters defined by Ed Parker. Or more commonly said Law of the Fist and the emty hand.

The advert i encoded is still there, if anyone didn't see it before.

Ian.

Uhhh... what?

What are the odds that any of the seniors with video footage of Parker moving, would be willing to share? I wonder why this is....

kenpo_cory,

It is a Divx formatted file (retains near dvd quality)...you can download the free player here Divx Player . Once you install the player the CODEC for Divx will be on your machine and Windows Media Player will also open divx files besides the Divx Player.

Regards,
Don
