Completing the ''Infinite Insights Into Kenpo''
series, with Volume V published in June 1987 brought to
an end Sr. Grandmaster of Kenpo Karate Ed Parker Sr.'s
monumental masterpieces. The main purpose of this volume
was to incorporate all of the basic theories, concepts,
and principles discussed in the four earlier volumes
together, to achieve a more complete understanding of
how these mental and physical aspects relate, function,
and apply. Acquiring this knowledge not only develops
refined techniques, but also can result in success in
combat. Mr. Parker states that ''combat without
preparation can prove disastrous'', he believed that
realistic preparations must be made to overcome
environmental conditions, unpredictable events, or to
curtail an opponent whose unorthodox actions and
reactions can unexpectedly create variables that may
cause defeat. Realizing that an attack can dictate and
direct one's defense, Mr. Parker shared the need o learn
combat in total.Mr. Parker concludes this capstone
volume with the cornerstone and keystone firmly in
place. The years he spent analyzing, scrutinizing,
creating and developing his system of American Kenpo
were now logically, practically, and sequentially set in
place for future students to build on. Grounded, rooted,
and established on a firm foundation, students could be
secure in the knowledge that this foundation ''Art and
Science of Street fighting'' could consistently be built
upon employing existing correct principles. |
