Ed Parker Demo 

AWESOME thank you

great stuff thanks for sharing any more

Thanks for sharing this. Clips like this are invaluable to understanding the heritage of Mr. Parker's American Kenpo. Salute

Nice CHOREOGRAPHY!

This was more than likely from the 25 IKC (The Silver Anniversary) held at the Long Beach Arena in 1988. It was my first Internationals and I can remember it like it was yesterday.

Cool video.

Me sientop orgulloso de haber entrenado y asistido a muchos seminarios con varios de los descendientes del Maestro Ed Parker.

Love watching the "Old Guard" do their Kenpo thing! Demos like this are a great way to show the Art side of the Martial Arts.

This view is much better than the other side of the stage.

Yo combaty mucho contra este sistema de karate buen aporte al karate gracias maestro Edmundo Parker por sus conocimientos y su aporte a la humanidad ... No tuve el privilegio de conocerlo personalmente pero si e estado con sus mejores estudiantes y se que su estilo es bueno y por ser contemporáneo un saludo a todos los kenpistas atte. Francisco Venegas Espinoza fundador del Estilo Karate Kumite gran máster representante mundial de IEKKF y EKKF Chile .

it's a demonstration of the full versions of techniques for continuity's sake, please stop criticizing what you don't understand

TERRY SHEA is correct,i studied shito ryu,no thanks,found KEMPO,IT HAS SAVED MY LIFE TWICE IN A KNIFE FIGHT,BE DEAD WITHOUT IT, EVERY STRIKE IS A BLOCK,EVERY BLOCK A BLOW,IT WORKS

Not to mention Pat Salantri....its amazing to see how many people don't know who Pat is!

Passing it down. How can we forget? -3rd generation kenpo guy

American Kenpo / Kempo is always versatile and highly technical and advance with more applications than that of your usual karate , taekwondo or striking arts. Kenpo Kempo is a no nonsense art provided you can palm heel strike , eye gouges , neck strikes , kidney and groin strikes , pressure points and breaking limbs or joints , it is purely an art. But Kenpo / Kempo have more scientific and pratical approach once you master the foundations.

Lutas reais que é bom pra demostrar se isso funciona mesmo.num tem. Né?

Kenpo seems to have some good techniques but the demonstrations but it was demonstrated on someone who was standing still like a dummy. In a real fight, the other guy won't just stand there waiting to get his face kicked in.

@BushidoCode72 Just because they lost doesn't mean Kenpo is the Lesser Art. I assure you someone with the Skill of Ed Parker would school 99 % of all Martial Artist & I leave the 1 percent out because there's always room for improvement and there is always one person who rises to the top. Oh Ed Parker Thanks for the Legend and the Legacy. Kenpo Karate #1. Ps I never lost lol and i've taken champtionship kicks and didn't even move 3 inches. Its the Inner Stregth/Will/Focus/Balance/Intellect.

This was the best demonstration on how to attack motionless, fixed mannequins that i have ever seen

Ok Frank

What was cool about this one is that in my favorites I have the same demo filmed from the other side of the stage from a different angle. Have you looked at that version yet?

yeah,aaaaaaaa that would really happen?

Эд Паркер КОРОЛЬ карате-кэмпо.

I was itting with Frank Trejo yesterday in my dojo and we found this version posted on You Tube...it's great! Where did it come from? He said this was right after he recovered from breaking his neck and everybody said he was "done"...yeah, right!

@franktheforce This version is far superior.

@KurtCobain198666 That's *Ed Parker*

this is just a demonstration of Kenpo techniques,I've worked out with some of those black belts,and you would never get near them in a real fight,they'd kill you.This is always the problem with youtube,everyone is an expert and everyone knows best,and everyone has an opinion. Kenpo is a very effective self defence,and so too,is a lot of other systems

Well I don't know you, so I don't know your ability,and your quite right,and I'm wrong to assume that they would kill you. However your missing the point here,this is just a Demo,However I stand corrected, it is the one who is determined the most, that wins out,and unfortunately training can't prepare for that,it's down to how you cope with fear,and your mental toughness, yours Hugh.

@kg7530mh I am pretty sure this is before Paul Mills was a protege of Mr. Parker. So I say no.

@BushidoCode72 also it's only a demo it's not supposed to be real

@KurtCobain198666 I'm not sure that's accurate. Ed was to me an outside the box kind of guy. It comes down to the person behind the martial art and to me Ed will always be the best until someone comes along that's better haven't seen anyone except a few that have come close like Bruce and Jet Li. I also like Jackie and Donnie

TRY COMBAT AIKIDO, THEY TEACH U IN RANDORI IN HOW TO FIGHT MULTIPLE ATTACKERS WHO COME AT YOU ONCE

@KurtCobain198666 then what were lees celebrity students given more for what they paid? private lessons? yes there probably is a political tone for the celebrities but who is anyone to question the descretion of Ed Parker and other great teachers?they were human, maybe it was and honorarium type thing? look at the quality of his others like Paul Mills, tatum, speakman etc. talk it over with these guys and post please.....

@KurtCobain198666 ?? I haven't been to this post in a long while. Well I still think an Ed Parker in his prime would defeat a Bruce lee in his prime. Besides is not the Art its the person who makes the whatever Art the best. By the way that is a teaching from Ip Man Bruce Lee's teacher and mentor. ~DC~

Silly.

look , dude , chill out. I was just givin my opinion.

All bs step through punch attacks. No one ever attacks like that for real. Exactly why all of these tma bs styles failed when matched in a cage or mats. It’s all bs. No matter how good it looks here.

MUAY THAI, JUDO OR JUJITSU, AIKIDO AND NINJITSU ARE BEST COMBINATIONS.

Hell, I know they are standing around waiting for frank to clobber them and yes it's fake but it's cool to watch!

KENPO IS ONLY GOOD FOR CLOSE QUARTER COMBAT JUST LIKE WING CHUN

@KurtCobain198666 ? Dude stop bashing Ken Parker. Look at this video. Good luck ever being half as good as he was. Lay off man. I doubt priscilla beat elvis but even if she did so what? There could be a thousand reasons why. Even a white belt can beat a black belt if they properly execute a move even if its just one move they have mastered. Don't write me again. ~DC~

This is worst than WWF with no real combat application!
