Sifu Bailey Seminars

Our Seminars in September brought attention to great skills to those who attended. The skills you pick up wil stay with you forever, even if you don’t think you remember all the material that was passed down, the seeds were planted and it is in you. The compliments received about these seminars may start the opportunity to have Mr. Bailey here on a regular basis to continue cross training in these other fantastic arts. As most may have noticed, Parker Kenpo already has many of the great arts/principles incorporated into it. But working each art separately helps focus on each concept and brings awareness to the surface. Mr. Edmund Parker was, as most say, a genius. He studied many arts and added what he found useful from them to his base knowledge of Kenpo and built up from there creating a well thought out system with a strong structure. Mr. Bailey was very impressed with how well all our students picked up this material, we must be doing something right. Thank you for all your support to make this happen.
