Depending on who you might ask. The BKF was founded as a Federation by myself and my college room-mate, now Senior Guru Cliff Stewart, and Jerry Smith. After the name, and concept were defined and the patch drawn, I sought and received permission from Ed Parker Sr. who suggested the original idea to me. After the fact, we asked Steve if he would like to be a part, and we decided to make him president because he was the most well known. Steve was a black belt under Chuck Sullivan not Ed Parker Sr. Donnie Williams was not a part of the BKF inception and in fact was a student of Al Thomas at the time in Arizona, and said he originally received his black under Byong Yu in Tae Quon Do. He did however come in about a year and a half later.Originally posted by jukado1
the bkf that i know of was based out of south Los Angeles, and started by Steve Sanders, and Donny Williams, and a couple more gentlemen. Mr. Sanders was a black belt under Ed Parker and one of Mr, Parkers top tournament fighters. the bkf was started to fight the racism that Mr. Sanders felt was used against black fighters of that time. if you watch "enter the dragon" you'll see Steve Sanders, and Donny Williams in a class session stopping to say goodby to Jim Kelly before he goes to Han's tournament. Steve Sanders is now Steve Mauhamed.

As for Mr. Bleecker, he prefers to believe what he is told by other people because he has decided I have no credibility in Kenpo etc.
Ahaaa! The phantom speaks. The only person harder to get on the phone than me. Yes I know the real poop on a lot of people and Kenpo history. Maybe that's why they don't want me to talk to much. You'd be surprised!Originally posted by Rick Wade
