Ed Parker Seminar with Steve Hatfield 1987

Seminar hosted by Lee Wedlake. Mr Parker was demonstrating how to expand the variables from point of origin and to recognize weapons and targets. This is only a piece of the seminar we managed to video tape.

Thank you or sharing a glimpse into the Ed Parker past as he visited the Hatfield school. Looking back on those few moves, from the perspective of 2010 it seems so basic now. But I'm sure at the time, the idea of continuing to attack areas with a single move must have seemed genius. Ed Parker is still a genius in my view.

@clearcombat MMA is incomplete actually: Fouls
The following acts are universally considered fouls in the mixed martial arts world:
Headbutting
Eye gouging
Hair pulling
Fish-hooking
Attacking the groin
Strikes to the back of the head and spinal area (see rabbit punch)
Strikes to, or grabs of the trachea
Small joint manipulation (control of three or more fingers/toes is necessary)
All of which are a part of Kenpo.

too bad mr. hatfield has lost his way from parker

At this time it was great stuff, but Kenpo has not improved. MMA is a complete system for the street and the ring.
