5.0 out of 5 stars
Super Fast, and a Wonderful Guy,
By
This review is from: Ed Parker's Infinite Insights into Kenpo : Physical Analyzation I (Vol. 2) (Paperback)
Ed's writing reflects his powerful and gracious persona. Gifted in martial arts, he was also one hell of a ukulele player and teacher, as I learned when he and I lived across the hall from each other as freshmen at Brigham Young University during the first term of the academic year 1950-51. His uke playing, like his fighting, was super-quick, but he was slow to show impatience in teaching. This calm, Hawaiian style shows in his spiritual approach to martial arts. You will enjoy this book whether or not your main interest is martial arts. Read it to appreciate the approach of a master teacher at work. Ed was so effective in teaching that he taught me what I hadn't known was possible: playing solos on such a tiny instrument. Though I'm primarily Caucasian, Ed taught me well enough to impress a beautiful Hawaiian girl, a professional hula dancer who became my wife.
This book will give you the flavor of the man and his mission. I last saw him in the late '60s in the Washington DC area, where he was MCing a big martial arts event at which Bruce Lee performed an impressive exhibition. Ed was still the same classy, unpretentious and quietly helpful guy, even though he was world famous by then. Please do yourself the favor of reading this book. Though he died December 15, 1990, his ideas are still fresh and important.

This review is from: Ed Parker's Infinite Insights into Kenpo : Physical Analyzation I (Vol. 2) (Paperback)
The book was a very detailed explanation of the how and why of some of the basics. It gives a great understanding of the very foundation of the art and your movements.

Infinite Insights into Kenpo Vol.1 by Ed Parker,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ed Parker's Infinite Insights into Kenpo : Physical Analyzation I (Vol. 2) (Paperback)
An excellent book for all those interested in American Kenpo. I found it to be a great aid in explaining the many facets of this art to me-a non-practitioner. Well written and informative, it keeps you coming back for more. A must read for Kenpo enthusiasts.
