Ed Parker Sr.’s American Kenpo System

Art Preservation Project

 

My father, Ed Parker Sr., created American Kenpo and named over 150 self-defense techniques within his Kenpo System.

 

Twenty years ago, I began illustrating my dad’s techniques in individual art pieces, called the Kenpo Kards. However, I never finished the project because I wasn’t satisfied with most of the pieces.

 

My wife, Baer, and I have now documented his entire system of techniques in individual art pieces to preserve his legacy.

 

We named the Technique Series Project ‘American Kenpo’ to ensure Ed Parker’s legacy lives on.

 

This visual learning approach encourages students to explore and appreciate the techniques, whether they’re new or mastered.

 

After years of dedication, I’ve finally completed the project, spending over ten thousand hours on it.

 

As my dad’s lineage evolved, some techniques were removed, discarded, or forgotten. We illustrated all of them into high-quality art pieces to preserve what he created.

 

The Chinese-themed artwork pays homage to our Chinese Kenpo Legacy Roots.

 

My wife and family are fluent in Mandarin, ensuring accurate translation of Chinese Kanji techniques and names.

 

Serious American Kenpo practitioners must have these 24-inch x 36-inch posters/charts. Inquire about Individual limited edition giclee prints.

 

To highlight learned techniques, place small color stickers or dots on collected posters within your structured ranking system.

 

Artwork captures an audience’s attention, as proven by the success of Frank Frazetta’s book covers.

 

Publishers matched Frazetta’s covers to books, notably increasing sales for Edgar Riceburroughs Tarzan novels by over a thousand percent.

 

Support my wife and me as we self-fund our online peacemaker self-defense course, the Paxtial Arts. A new Paxtial Arts lesson will be released this week.

 

Each chart contains 24 techniques and is 24 x 36 inches (2 by 3 feet).
