Parker stories.........

[WilliamTLear]

Isn't it kind of cool that a Kenpo Practitioner wears his heart on his sleeve?

I love everyone of those stories, I have read them all atleast four times now and they still get to me everytime I read them.

 

[WilliamTLear]

I like Mr. Conatser's little saying, or signature as they call it on this forum...

Time will either promote you or expose you!

I have a follow up to that statement...

Practice Kenpo in the nude, and you'll feel exposed in no time!!!

:rofl: Just having a little fun...

I see a heart in 4 directions. N, S, E, and W.
Can someone elaborate for me?

 

[Kirk]

Sure did answer it! I appreciate it too! This should be on a
different thread, I guess, but I'm moved right now! It's TOO
kewl to be able to have the input of so many experienced
kenpoists. And thanks to all of you! Amazingly, none of you feel
you're above answering the little questions

Stories like these are a necessary reminder that what we do is so much more than a collection of techniques.

I am curious though. I thought that EPjr didn't start training until after Mr. Parkers passing.

Yes, there are actually 4 Hearts....... it doesn't matter which one is up as long as one of the hearts are upright in regular heart position.

It is just symbolism......the heart pattern is used in the Self Defense Technique "Blinding Sacrafice" (the initial hand strikes):asian:

 

[Goldendragon7]

Did that answer your question Kirk or did you have more questions?

Let me know.

 

[Goldendragon7]

Like Mr. Parker used to say at times like these...... "Hey, I put my pants on one leg at a time just like you!"

:asian:

 

[Goldendragon7]

And I am in contact with others to do the same. So keep checking it often.

:asian:

p.s. I feel the same as you do. good memories.

 

[Goldendragon7]

Your continued encouragement keeps me working on the other Seniors to add stories for all of you......... but I love to hear them also........ there are a couple of my favorites coming up from Tom Kelly soon.

:asian:

 

[Goldendragon7]

I have been fortunate to have so very many good experiences with Mr. Parker that it would be hard to say just which one was the "absolute favorite"!

Off the top of my head at this moment.... I'd have to say that was the time he observed me teaching a student in England the kicking set #1 and just sat and watched the whole lesson. I have to say I was sweating it! But at the end he gave me an unusual amount of praise as to what I had revealed to that student.

I was humbled tremendously.

[Goldendragon7]

I'm still working on getting a few others from Tom Kelly, Bob White, Frank Trejo and others.... as we speak..... keep checking back.
