| Infinite Insights By Senior Grandmaster Ed Parker Vol. I - ISBN 0-910293-00-7 Vol. II - ISBN 0-910293-02-3 Vol. III - ISBN 0910293-04-X Vol. IV - ISBN 0-910293-06-6 Vol. V - ISBN 0-910293-06-6 By Senior Grandmaster Ed Parker Provides a good overview of Kenpo. A few of the topics Vol. I deals with are American Kenpo history, the meaning of the crest, Mr. Parker's background and the idea of tailoring the art to the individual. Vols. II & III deal with basics (i.e. Stances, Maneuvers, Blocks and Strikes) Vol. IV deals with a lot (Zone Theories, Target Areas and Concepts and Principles) and Vol. V deals with the first 3 forms, the idea of Mr. Parker's Web of Knowledge, Recommended self defense techniques, Theory and Concepts behind illustrated Kenpo techniques. Also each book has a Glossary of Kenpo Terminology. These books are a must for every Kenpo beginner. I wish my instructor would have required me to read them when I first started. |
