I'm curious as to the evolutionary history of Ed Parker's American Kenpo techniques. Where did these techniques come from? Did Mr. Parker create all (or some) of the techniques wholly himself? Was he taught the bulk of the techniques and passed them along, or made modifications to them? For instance, was Delayed Sword a technique that Mr. Parker created completely himself or was that taught to him by William Chow, or did it come from something else entirely? Five Swords? What about all the rest?
Was there a core set of techniques that Mr. Parker leared from Chow that was substantially smaller than the 154 currently taught? Or did Mr. Parker just learn the basics from Chow and create all the techniques, principles, etc. himself? Anyone know the complete story?
Thanks, Ragnar
