Yes, that is the Tracy equivalent technique
:asian:
Yesterday I was practicing my orange ext.'s and noticed that during Obscure Wing has the same footwork as form 5 does with Leap Of Death. When executing O.W. you take the opponent down face up and while executing L.O.D. the opponent is face down. Once the attacker is down is where the footwork ext. became the same. Is there a connection between the two with the new material for the next level?? OR does this happen to be a coincodence in material? Thanks.

Yes, it is an official Ed Parker requirement (at least for my studio prior to his passing). I usually don't post optional things that I may require for my students only the basics.
I did post the set on KenpoNet I think they have it stored in "the flame". I also posted it here as well some time ago you'd have to go to the archives.

I could'nt find it in the archives here, but I did find it in kenponet. Thanks.
Also I found in kenponet the lock flows you guys were talking about a few days ago. I knew I'd seen them somewhere!

To me, that's so tough to understand! My instructor says things
like that all the time, "this is just a variation of suchnsuch
technique, see?" as he does them both .. sometimes I got "OHH!"
and other times, I'm still like "huh?". I can never see that stuff
in the techs I learn. It's a bit of a bummer!

Yeah, I feel that way, too. If it helps any, some connections I went "huh?" about as a yellow belt I go "Ohh!" about now. It could be I understand better. Or, it could be that finding connections in Kenpo is like interpreting the Bible -- anything you want to be there is there, but who, if anyone, put it there?
Two conflicting ideas:
1) Ed Parker was a genius, making a thourough martial system with intricate detail and brilliant discoveries, which I will spend a lifetime figuring out, and
2) Humans have infinite capacity for self-deceit.
Can I trust the connections I find, or am I stretching too far to find the info? In the end, the ultimate master key technique, the one that covers them all, is "stop the bad guy". Delayed Sword alone holds most of the system that I've learned so far -- stop the attack, then counter multiple times.
Or maybe the only thing that really counts is that Kenpo gives me a logical way to look for stuff, making my discoveries as valid as anyone else's, whether the information was put there by Mr. Parker or not. If so, any connection I find is valid, providing I found it through logic. After all, that's how Mr. Parker found everything out in the first place, right?

Our Awesome System [EPAK if taught correctly] first teaches us all the basics to motion, then teaches the awareness of your body actions and how to control them, then examines potential attacks and conditions of today's environment and offers a multitude of possible responses to form a knowledge base from which to logically draw from if ever a physical encounter occurs.
All "connections" or discoveries, parallels, tips, unique, interesting points, tweaks, and so on are there to either be taught or ran upon........ You have to ask yourself a question..... was this system this way by ACCIDENT OR DESIGN? My answer is that ....... there is WAYYYYYYYYYY to much stuff that puzzles together for it to be by accident...... no go hunt and find!
From there it's all yours baby!

Mr. Castillo,
You mentioned on your site that you were introduced to the Tracy's in 1976. How far did you get? I noticed you got your Black in 3 years (1993-1996) from Mr. Tracy in Kentucky, how was that experience?
