Book excerpt: During early 1975, Ed Parker Sr. undertook to complete another masterful work on a specific Martial Arts topic--the Nunchaku. Made famous by the late Bruce Lee in the motion picture "Enter the Dragon" and often referred to as "chucks" or "Karate sticks," Ed shared a history of this man made weapon, for the first time. Acknowledged by the Martial arts weapons expert Tadashi Yamashita, as the "best book on the subject, it should be on the bookshelf of every Karateka." Curtis Wong, publisher of the internationally acclaimed "Inside Kung-Fu" Magazine said it was "a must for all practitioners." After a brief introductory history of the nunchaku, Ed elaborated on the need for modern day adaptations of this ancient agricultural implement. Revealing for the first time, his own dynamic nunchaku techniques, with catches and movements capable of creating one startling impact after another. Fantastic Kenpo innovations were illustrated using extensive charts, diagrams, illustrations and hundreds of step by step photographic sequences. Ed executed practical self defense techniques against a multitude of unarmed and armed attacks. It is interesting to note that on the inside cover of this work, Ed is shown in a drawing by his brother, David Parker, wearing a Ninth Degree Belt. However, on the following page, it is stated that Ed is a Tenth Degree Black Belt. The reason is, that at the time of writing this innovative book, Ed was a Ninth Degree Black Belt. As a result of this masterfully exhaustive, inclusive treatise, Ed saw fit to take the recommendations of his senior Black Belts and accepted the honor and status of Senior Grandmaster of Kenpo. It seemed an almost fitting tribute that the February 1975 issue of Black Belt magazine wrote, "Many Kenpo stylists refer to Ed Parker as the last word on the proper way to do their techniques."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1960, Senior Grandmaster Ed Parker Sr. first book, entitled, Kenpo Karate, Law of the Fist and the Empty Hand was completed and published. Mr. Parker introduced the reading public to the art of Kenpo Karate, a formidable system of logical and practical self-defense. He Believed that Kenpo could "do much to deter juvenile delinquency" steering young people away from stealing, street fighting and other vices. Through studying Kenpo young people could gain self-confidence, and self-respect, as well as developing humility and self-restraint. Kenpo was presented as a self-defense system to combat unethical fighting methods prevalent on the streets. Through a series of anatomical illustrations drawn by Mr. Parker himself, natural body weapons and targets that could be struck with a devastating effect were identified. Mr. Parker's reasoning for including an anatomical study was simply, "That knowledge of our own points of weakness, as well as those of our opponent, can determine our own victory or defeat." It was clear that with a thorough knowledge of the location of the major nerve centers and critical areas, Kenpoists would be able to defend their own vital areas as well as deliver blows to vital points on an opponent. Vital areas, pressure points sensitive to various methods of attack, along with individual natural weapons were all clearly presented and illustrated on simple to read charts. It is interesting to note, that many of the self-defense techniques presented in this pioneering publication, show embryonic movement patterns that would establish the foundation for subsequent techniques that would be prefixed, suffixed, altered, adjusted, expanded and refined by Sr. Grandmaster Ed Parker Sr. over time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the accumulation of over thirty years of practical Martial Arts experience the Sr. Grandmaster of American Kenpo Karate Ed Parker Sr. decided to document and share his findings in a monumental series of books. Writing with the intent to expound upon the merits of his American KENPO Martial Arts system, he wrote of it's many facets as, "a discipline, a way of life, a philosophy, and an art and a science." With each book intended to offer a unique and exciting adventure into KENPO knowledge, he called the series of five volumes " Infinite Insights Into Kenpo." Early in 1982, Mr. Parker completed and published the first book in the "Infinite Insights Into Kenpo" series, titled "Mental Stimulation". He wrote, "I was sensitive to the need of innovations during my early years of training. Analyzing the methods of fighting in Hawaii, the place of my birth and early rearing, verified the unquestionable need for an updated approach to the Martial Arts." Mr. Parker broke the bonds of tradition and experimented with more logical and practical means of combating modern day methods of fighting. What emerged was, in his own words, "my own interpretation of the Art." It was this perspective that he introduced in this initial volume and developed and expanded upon through his subsequent works. Mr. Parker introduced an unparalleled number of combative predicaments, indicating the need for several viewpoints. Thee mystic "Universal Pattern", introduced to the public for the first time some twenty years earlier, was put into context. In an effort to develop and articulate definable qualities in the Martial Arts, he sought to set the backdrop for the unknown to become known, the intangible to become tangible and for the mysticism to disappear.

Book excerpt: The "Zen of Kenpo" is an insightful and interesting volume of analytical, tactical, and philosophical quotes from the teachings and writings of the Senior Grandmaster of American Kenpo, Ed Parker Sr. Having learned early in life the folly of not recording his thoughts on paper or audio tape. Whether at home, at a restaurant, in a hotel or traveling on an airplane, he continually recorded more and more of his thoughts and ideas. Mr. Parker's insights and ideas cover a broad range of subjects relating to the Martial Arts--Combat Wisdom, Patience, Philosophy and Zen. Intended to supplement his previous works, he hoped to give interested parties a deeper understanding of the intricacies of Kenpo--not only as an art, but also as a way of life. Mr. Parker observed and came to understand that like analogies and short stories, the imagery evoked through sayings, breathes life into technical descriptions and principles of KENPO. Feeling that this volume of his quotes would encourage open minded students to view technical descriptions and principles of Kenpo in the light of their own experiences, he felt his sayings would add to a person's overall depth of knowledge.
