Tommy, love the way you do the mulitple turns against 2 arms pinned at the rear, and keep your balance!!! It's an inspiration to see you, Peter, and Dave still so fit and nimble. And any of your black belts are a credit to your talent as a teacher. Have a great trip down under, and I'll see you in the new year. Colm.
just for reference: I studied with Mr Parker in the Pasadena studio from 1966 to 1971, and we called that Long 3. Some moves were different, but what we called Form 5 was totally different from this. Form 5 was mostly footwork. Apparently some time between 1959 and 1966 the numbers were moved about.
John McSweeney studied with Parker from 1959 to 1962. As a recall, the forms were just being developed during that time, so a lot can change in a few years. What amuses me are all the comments about it being long 3 and such. Everyone is so sure of themselves and it never enters their head that things may have been different before they were in kenpo, or born.
Ed Parker changed the forms when he developed "Modern Kenpo" but his student John McSweeney was thought under the old system - "Traditional Kenpo" and he taught Tommy Jordan.
Al Tracy teaches that form as Long #3. However, it is entirely possible that at one time the numbering sequence was different. Before there was a Short #1, what is now Long #3 would have been the 5th form. Regardless, the form is excellent. Nice work, Mr. Jordan.
Ha Ha, some of the comments on this were Gas! People are entitled to their opinions and Ignorance can be excused for now but I think some of the doubters on this should research their History of Kenpo in Europe and then the penny might drop as to who this Man actually is!!!!.

In EPAK this is known as long form 3 - This is form 5 before Mr. Parker changed em up - all this coming from my Sifu:-)
This is an interpretation of Long 3
lads id say a 10 dan black belt would know what form he's doing
