| 10th degree black belt,
a man that accomplished what ten
men could barely dream of doing. A scholar, teacher, author, master
practitioner, innovator, actor, student, father, promoter, and
international leader. Mr. Parker revolutionized martial arts concepts
and skills application to fit our modern needs.
KENPO is pure intelligence of thought and motion. Mr. Parker added concepts, theories, principles and innovations, not yet employed by other systems. This is what makes his KENPO system unique, practical, logical, realistic, and applicable. It has often been referred to as the "University of Martial Arts". It employs linear as well as circular moves, utilizing intermittent power when and where needed, interspersed with minor and major moves that flow with continuity. It is flexible in thought and action allowing one to blend with confrontations one may encounter. Hartsell already an accomplished Judo and Karate Man studied with Parker and holds a Black Belt in Kenpo Karate. During the early years of 1960’s, Hartsell taught at Parker’s school along with Guro Dan Inosanto.
