It's just one of those subjects that has been discussed several times.
There will never be the unity as there was during the SGM Parker days. Everybody will do their own thing. After the 1st generations are gone, I'm sorry to say, many will go their own way.
Right now, Kenpo is a generic term for a grouping of various systems.
20 years down the road, it's quite possible that American Kenpo will be a generic term for a style which will comprised many different systems. Its already started and I'm sure some will say that's what it is now.
These are just my opinions and I could always be wrong.

Marion Webster definition of Tradition.
an inherited, established, or customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior (as a religious practice or a social custom)
Traditionalized would be to make traditional.
Basically what that means to me is to stick to a certain pattern of thinking and doing things. Never going "outside the box" when it comes to looking at the system as a whole. Sometimes we get wrapped up in the rules, forms, and techniques, we loose the big picture.
Just my opinion. :asian:
In twenty years most of the kenpo "seniors" will be out of the loop, so to speak (a nice way of saying GONE). Where do you see kenpo in 20 years?
I hate to be the one to break the news to you but......... What does the IKKA have to do with the way Mr. Parker intended his system to be taught? I disagree totally!Originally posted by Kroy
As long as the IKKA is still around you will always see Parker Kenpo taught the way he intended. Stay true to the art.:asian:
I think the "bickering and politics that you talk about is over exaggerated. Sure on the forums it is present (and like you say will always be there) but it is no worse than it was. In fact, when several of us get together ~ there is a lot of positive exchange going on .... I see it as getting better as the upper ranks exchange ideas thru camps and seminars more as time moves on.Originally posted by Chicago Green Dragon
I see Kenpo in the future progressing forward but I also see the constant bickering and politics still being there.
