Yeah, he is, shame that I had to move away so only catch up with him a couple of times a year, although through mail, facebook and phone we are always in contact.

Missing Mr. Tatum's tenure as the hands-on teacher for most of Mr. Speakman's kenpo-learning career.Ed Parker > Jeff Speakman >me
Yes and no. There are a few other teachers not mentioned in Jeff's career, but he has First Generation status, now; so, it is not required, to mention Mr. Tatum, or Doc, or anyone else.Missing Mr. Tatum's tenure as the hands-on teacher for most of Mr. Speakman's kenpo-learning career.

True, AND he did his studies to GET to his black belt in KENPO, under Mr. Tatum. Even if he got picked up by Mr. P after that, the main guy who taught him most of the corpus of the kenpo system was NOT Mr. P. It seems good form, IMO, to mention those along the way. I have some past teachers I'm not too fond of, but still -- the time they spent bending my knees and drilling my forms deserves the respect of "honorable mention", at least.But if the guy, you want mentioned, is three teachers back, so might be
cumbersome, and wouldn't it make you more uncomfortable if he only spoke of one of the teachers after, Mr. Tatum? Also, It is important to remember Mr. Speakman was already a Black Belt before studying Kenpo.
James Wonser
I received my 5th degree black belt in Kenpo from a student of Professor James Wonser named Shihan Rocky Rolph in December 2008. Professor Wonser founded The Way of Kempo. When I search for James Wonser Way of Kempo it leads me here but I can't find the entry from someone who has his name and Way of Kempo listed in it. I am hoping to find other students of James Wonser. Can you help me?I am curious about how many of you pay attention to your Kenpo lineage and whether that knowledge is important to you.
