Did Mr. Parker Sell Out to Elvis?

Well, at any rate, he missed the message of self-preservation which is primary to any martial art. It's a damned shame too.

How do the the Rolling Stones survive??? I swear- Keith Richards has GOT to glow in the dark he is so toxic!!! I can see them doing "Start Me UP" in wheelchairs at the music awards in ten years!!

"IF you wheel me up-"
"If you wheel me up I'll never stop!"
"Got my Vi-ag-ra, got viagra"
"I'll never stop"

"DO you know CPR?"
"If you know CPR you are my babe..."

Just being stoopid.

What chaps me is they all still have hair! I guess the lesson
here is ... do every drug known to man, get bejillion STD's, and
keep your head of hair.

And have you seen the Keith Richards "don't do drugs" public
service announcement on MTV??? We can't do drugs Keith,
you already did them all!
 
Going to England twice and to Australia once with Mr. Parker was loads of fun and as you guys would guess we discussed many many topics regarding the Martial Arts as well as specific portions of our own system Kenpo. I can't tell you have fortunate I was to be able to have done that. I learned much from that close quarters time with the Grand Master.

Well don't leave us dangling start a thread and share a story.
 
Start withthe first time you were scolded by Master Parker, that should peak some interest.
 
Start a new thread and give us your favorite Ed Parkr story. Or we'll keep hounding you til you do.
 
The longest journey starts with the single step! Please don't be like so many before who carry their stories to the grave with them- there is a whole generation of us Kenpoists who want to hear the tales of yore, no matter how mundane they may seem!!

Sometimes one gets the impression that the AK "Old Timers" are holding out on retelling many wonderful experiences they have had- we "newbies" get little snippets here and there, but seldom hear the whole stories!

I for one find this frustrating. Consider me an eager ear, sitting by the campfire, wide-eyed with my marshmallow just about toasted to perfection, awaiting our trailmaster GOLDENDRAGON to open our imagination to the ribald tales of Kenpo past...:)
 
Elvis loved Kenpo, but realize he studied several other systems throughout his life, shotokan movements can be seen in Harim Scarium sp? and Roustabout. I watched a training session with him and he was fast.

Dave Hebler has tons of Elvis stories, as he was with him and trained him most of the time. He is the one to ask about Elvis.

Elvis martial artist? Yes.

Elvis 8th degree? Paper only. No test for it.



I remain, Kodai.
 
He got it September 5, 1974, after Dave Hebler was promoted to 7th (Ed Parkers 1sth 7th) and Tom Kelly was promoted to 6th (Ed Parkers 2nd 6th).
 
I orginally asked for the first time you were scolded by SGM Parker and you replied:

We are all good sports here so come on share the story with us.
 
Picture this;

Elvis and Bruce Lee in one of heaven's VIP bars arguing over who turn it is to get the drinks in.

Bruce: Get em in Elvis or the Dragon's tail while whip your ***.

Elvis: Bring in on. Just let me take my new blue suede shoes off first.

And with a flurry of hands and feet Elvis kicks Bruce straight over the bar.

Elvis: Get em in fool

Well, we're waiting (drumming fingers on table). You know, the story you were going to post. It is on the tribute web site, correct?

:asian:
 
I loved the story, and I remember you telling it in London, Ontario. This a very funny story. I probably would have ended up with a cavity search if I ever tried anything like that.
