Of course since Mr. Parker is no longer with us, I'm sure the complete answer is lost forever... I've even read so much of people accusing Mr. Parker of never getting a black belt on sites like http://www.tracyskenpokarate.com/Ken...an%20Kenpo.htm which poses all sorts of stuff I hadn't heard before. Now I'm at a loss for what is true, and what is not.

I advise you think about it as little as possible.

Both Parker Kenpo and Tracy Kenpo are solid styles with excellent skills.

I don't know the true history, but it seems like most of the Kenpo seniors really have it in for most of the other seniors. It's like everybody slept with everybody else's wife and they're still mad about it.

The less you let that crap into your own head space the better.

Here is a copy of Parker's BB certificate from Chow: http://www.sanjosekenpo.com/william_chows_application_for_a.htm
Does anyone know if that is actually a scan of the real thing?
