Hi Michael,
I remember (maybe) you are still with JWW?
Are there others that have long time in grade at the location? If so could you talk to them and see what they remember? Not to start a stir just a casual Q & A...
Leilani Parker's Memories of Ed Parker page 36 where Dr. Gyii states, "He taught me the TIGER FORM....
We all have read quite a bit about Professor Chow, he did not use forms???
So at that time there were no other forms, right??? Was EPS creating them?Did he have the vision to lay the foundation for the forms as they are today??? Or did he borrow what Emperado was building on?
Original Kenpo, now Traditional AK, very different... But Mitose had forms, were they borrowed?
EPS had to have a plan??? I think like most, it is a dream and finally he got his, and wrote the books in the last decade of his life and now it is laid in concrete... He never felt at first all had to mimic, similar to others that are Chow folks, they talk about creating...Always creating...
The art is not the Constitution of US never to be changed without a SCOTUS ruling ...
Where Kajukenbo now has a board of directors to guide the art, EPS, had EPS...
Regards,
Gary
