Senior Master
Lee Wedlake 9th degree student of Ed Parker
Modern Kenpo students also have access to what Parker called “sublevel
four” (nerve striking) and destructive sequencing. The foremost exponent of this aspect of the art is Ron Chapel, a longtime Parker student. This fact leads one to an important observation: The internal aspects of Kenpo need to be explored further.
Kenpo is not taught as a complete system, regardless of what its practitioners say.
Although Kenpo is complete in the physical sense of teaching methods of motion, it lacks a standard curriculum Â…Â….
ParkerÂ’s system allows one to observe, identify and copy motion easily.
In the year or two immediately following Parker’s death, it was said that no successor was named and that he wanted everyone to work together. He had taught different aspects of his art to different people over time and had no single protégé.

Mr. Wedlake had shared with me in 1996 that he had conversations with Ed Parker where Parker mentioned certain aspects of what I was taught, but also cautioned him to, "Keep that to yourself."
