Don't know if this is what you are looking for but I met Mr. Chavies at Jeff Speakman's Camp in 2001. He did a great seminar, and I know he is one of the people demonstrating in Infinite Insights, vol. 5. At the camp, during the introductions they made mention that there had been a falling out (either between Mr. Chavies and Mr. Parker or with the IKKA). But that they were glad he was coming back into the Kenpo fold. I amnot sure where Mr. Chavies is located now, I am taking a shot and saying California.

Hope this helps,

I tried to visit his website and add it to my links at Kenpo-Texas.com, but it required a password to even view it. If there is a public area, please post the URL.

Thanks,

It is www.AmericanKenpoConcepts.com

If you leave out the WWW it does ask for a password, don't know why.

Take care,

Mr. Chavies left the IKKA in approximately 1997 or 1998. He was close to Mr. Parker up until Mr. Parker passed away.

Tommy Chavies is a 2nd generation black belt under me on the family tree.

Reading information about mr chavies online, it is mixed; some say he is 1st generation others say second, all in all i really dont think it matters who is under who or who is ranked higher than the other, all that matters is the enjoyment of the art by one self and the contribution to making sure it continues to stay strong.

For the record, Tommy Chavies made black belt under me, and all of his IKKA rank is recorded under my lineage, as indicated on the Family Tree, that Mr. Parker published.

Mr. Chavies is an extremely talented Kenpoist.

Mr. Chavies did not have a falling out with Mr. Parker Sr., but there was a disagreement between he, Ed Parker Jr. and the IKKA after Mr. Parker passed. Tommy can also be seen on the two volumes of Mr. Parker's video's along with my other student Curtis Faust, as well as myself briefly.
