Sr. Grandmaster of American Kenpo Karate gives
readers an opportunity to study, ponder and digest the
two marvelous, insightful investigations into Kenpo, Mr.
Parker's third volume was published two years later in
July 1985. With the same direction and thrust as Volume
II, he continued in ''Physical Analyzation Part II'' to
categorize, classify and expound on the basic
subdivisions of blocks, strikes and specialized moves
and methods.Blocks, primarily defensive moves, are
defined typed of blocks are exhaustively expanded upon,
such as-striking, parrying, positioned, pinning and
specialized blocks taught in Kenpo. In an excellent
photographic series overlaid with directional diagrams,
to show the moves step by step. Specialized blocks, such
as, catching, trapping, jamming, lockout, ricocheting
and sliding checks are put into perspective
photographically through simple, selected self-defense
sequences.A myriad of masterful methods of executing a
multitude of strikes is set forth completely for the
first time in this volume. Strikes are sequentially,
logically and practically, charted out, demonstrated and
arguably addressed better than any other Martial Arts
text. Using comparative analysis expanding on the bounds
of existing experience, Mr. Parker elaborates
masterfully on the merits of major and minor moves.Mr.
Parker reminds his students that a knowledge of how and
what is not complete without an understanding of why. He
teaches the tools of the Kenpo artist, along with an
understanding of appropriate principles and
applications. Leaving a formula for future combat
success on the street, he stresses a need for the
consistent use of correct principle. |
