If you are a serious student of American Kenpo Karate then you hve to own this DVD. There is so many great interviews on this DVD that it feels like you are getting the tiniest glimpse into Ed Parker's life and his inner circle at various stages of his Kenpo career. Frank Trejo, Ron Chapel,...

The first set is out, 3 DVDs, Yellow and Orange. The intermediate set, Purple, Blue and Green will be out in August. Probably the most comprehensive and best produced reference series ever. Shot over the course of 15 years at numerous locations and countries, Tim Bulot, star of the film "El...

Here is the written description from the website: Technical Info: The video is shot from what appears to be his home dojo, nice background and makes it easy to see what is being shown and illustrated. Very good audio and is easy to hear what he is saying (I know that sounds weird, but...

Steve Finn has produced a set (Yellow - 5th black) of Quick Reference DVDs of the Tracy System. These DVDs are excellent. Very simple and to the point. There is no instructional, theoretical explanation, just physical application, done at slow speeds with a minimum of explanation, then at a...

Has anyone else checked out Rich Hale's "Kenpo Journal"? I purchased one a few weeks back and very pleased with it. I've found it comprehensive and user friendly. Plenty of information on Mr.Parker as well. I'm still exploring this extensive piece of work. "Dedicated to the Preservation and...

I didn't see a review thread for this book, so I thought that I'd kick one off here. This book presents a perspective on Kenpo that anyone can appreciate regardless of skill level. Mr. Piper presents both old (master keys) and new (grafting matrix) information grafted together for great...

My buddy at work purchased the DVD. The ads seem to be a 'self-defense for dummies' but may apply some good concepts. I'm curious if anyone has tried the product. He demonstrates a "march and chop" method which seems to work on an overly compliant uke. I'll withhold judgement until I watch the...

Two books that have been in my collection for a while. Ian Abernethy Bunkai-Jutsu Bought this as an extra curricular-study to justify my karate kata. I began to suspect that the bunkai aspect of karate was what made it powerful in self-defense terms at least for those selling the idea....

Hi, could somebody give me a link on the "Perfect Weapon" DVD on the net, where I can buy it?
