What is Tracy Kenpo? Just curious.

A previous edition of my answer in the Kenpo Technical forum:
Tracy Kenpo Karate (The Karate kanji used by Tracy's means China hand, not empty hand in this example) ... Is what SGM Parker was teaching in the way back olden days. The Tracy Brothers, Al, Will, and Jim, ended up going their own way and created a "Kenpo Empire" based on what they took with them ... Before anyone gets their knickers in a twist, this happens all the time. Just so happens that the Tracy Brothers were great businessmen as well as martial artists. They promulgated Kenpo through out America with their patented franchise biz.
Ed Parker continued to develop and refine his methods adding and subtracting as he felt he needed to in order to create American Kenpo. In the end, the rest is, as they say, history.
Ed Parker's Kenpo is considered by most to be the innovative, modern Kenpo, while Tracy Kenpo is the "compilation" of material that the Tracy Brothers took with them when they left. It has gone through a number of reorganizations, but is generally felt to be the "traditional" arm of Kenpo.
Hope this helps. Hate to talk in such generalities, but one slip of the keyboard around here often invokes a screaming, flaming spam war. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to address them in private message or email
Take care,

Shinobi, did you not learn from your last battle with me about curiosity? It almost cost you dearly! Though I admire your spirit, it is futile. Stay away from us "TRACYS", lest you get hurt!
Dan, no more reruns, this is NOT cable TV ! LOL!
