Ed Parker American Kenpo Dream Team

Excellent performance I know each and every one of these fine kenpo practitioners some for many years. For 49 years I've been practicing American Kenpo. I feel a bit silly. I just learned that I could have learned all that in just 6 months. And of course have it mastered . Congratulations to all on a fine job.

Simply outstanding performance that allows to see the beauty and logic of Ed Parker Kenpo techniques.

Ed Parker left such a legacy. I wish as many people knew about him as they do Bruce Lee

[MarkArnottAKK]

An exceptionally clear demonstration, an excellent teaching video. Thank you.

[americankenposchuledortmun]

I Love this Video, i See this Video so often how i can. Thank you for Sharing!

[luzjasso]

granted half the performers are middle class white americans, who perhaps took the art mainly as hobby or exercise, yet from personal experience, when attacked I revert to kenpo technique Parker was a man ahead of his time. Much respect.

what is the difference between ed parkers kenpo karate and Tracy's kenpo karate?

[DoktorSick]

They are called the dream team because they dream that they can fight.

When did head kicks start to come in to the syllabus

[nachoramiz]

I am a purple belt back in 2002 and still works until now

Why does the arm keep dropping to the side, in unison with the kick.
Shouldn’t that hand be up, and blocking?

[ShortyBiTOP]

Watching this I couldn't help but miss Master Jeff Speakman who would have made a fine addition to the team.  I think he was recovering from throat cancer by this time, but I see Sensei Anto (Antranig Parseghian) was there. :-)

Funny thing is most people down here in the comments can't seem to tell that this is a soft demonstration of technique not actual contact. It's for show, not to incapacitate each other like in a real fight.

[juanguillermodelangelsanma]

Esta técnica o escuela está en México ? Y si es así dónde ?

[carlosbertin]

Excelente demostración de las defensas personales Kenpo y de sus técnicas, además de su muy buena Presentación de cada uno de los Profesores Presentes, Mis Respeto hacia cada uno de desde Concepción, Chile

It's interesting how kenpo instructors' weight seems to increase along with their rank.

[SuperKenster]

Hey! how do you get a guy to stand still like that in a real fight?

[sonnygallo]

The style is NOT a problem. The practicioner is the the one who dictates effectiveness not the art itself. I know AKK men who are dangerous. There are many Effective forms of Kempo jitsu but they still need you. Ever heard of Dan inosanto Benny the Jet Urquidez The Iceman Chuck Liddell Steve Muhammad Michael Jai White is kyokushin Kai kempo GSP Even Bruce freaking Lee studied kempo the Bubishi of Karate do is Kempo and the Empty hand portion of Ninjutsu is Kempo jitsu so piss on the uniformed.👿👹😈💀

Negative comments come from over inflated ego and people who maybe studied one Art for a couple years. Yes if you don't know the techniques behind the move it may seem to you that they are waving at air. Compared to other Arts American Kenpo takes longer to achieve black Belt - 6 years. This is just a demo There is a lot of contact in real practice. Negative commenters probably couldn't make it though  a Kenpo technique line for more than the first few techniques withinin a lower level

is it really necessary to screech all the time whne doingkarate? :/
