Well Fly welcome to MartialTalk, so glad you found it! This is my fave MA Forum to hang out and post in, as they keep it really jerk, perv, and idiot-free in here. I'm gonna post some photos of the House of Kenpo team on my MSN site this week, if ya wanna go in and have a look in my 'Clawset.' Right now there are just my pics and my daughter's mostly, but I got a dandy shot of Jules absolutely drooling on the guy's gold medal as she stood on the podium getting her bronze for that one-handed stick set she did. It was priceless. She'll probably kill me for putting it up. Oh well...
It would be such a waste of a great pic not to tho...... LMAO!
Fly, to get into my Clawset go to:

And tell Le P'tit Plume to get in there and take a peek too, eh?

A few months ago, you would have had trouble posting as KAITH RUSTAZ would have busted you for use of the word SHITo-Ryu!!
(Sorry Kaith, couldn't resist- but ya gotta admit I have abstained for awhile!!! LOL)
This is a fun thread, let's keep it rocking along!
KENPO FAIRY TALE:
Once upon a time... Ed Parker and Al Tracy were walking through the woods and they came upon something in the path.
"That is a strange looking rock" Mr. Parker said.
"No- that is a piece of bark!" Mr. Tracy replied.
The argument ensued for thirty years.
One day, a pair of eyes sprouted out of the top of the object and it began began to hop.
"Whoa!!! It was a toad the whole time!!!!" They both exclaimed.
Just then, a fine babe stepped out from behind a tree, picked up the toad and kissed it. POOF!!! A fine prince appeared, he kissed the princess back, and they strode off into the sunset to live happily ever after.
Mr. Parker and Mr. Tracy looked at each other, and at the same time said "I FREEKIN KNEW IT THE WHOLE TIME!!!!!"
Then they went and had breakfast.

Although he is my sensei's sensei, I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him yet, even though he only lives 'bout a three hour drive away. I do hope to make it his way soon though (it's not everyday you get to meet a seventh degree black belt

Ralph Chinnick is probably one of the 2 men most directly responsible for the Tracy/American/hybrid Kenpo systems in the Province of Ontario.
He lived in London Ontario for a time and he and his partner brought forth Tracy Kenpo and as a result Parker Kenpo as well. At least 30 years later they are still here and mushroomed into many wild and weird things.
From what I hear he is one tough old bastard, (meant in a good way) and deserved a lions share of congrats and thanx for bringing Kenpo to this area. Without him much of what is here, good and bad would not be here. I am pretty sure if I wanted I could trace the lineage or the beginnings of EVERY Kenpo school and instructor in town to this man.
An excellent example of Tracy Kenpo spreading the word of American Kenpo. Possibly, Mr Parker would never have been heard here if not.

Welcome yall!! By any chance do you know Patrick Pace? He is in the United Kenpo Systems and commutes back and forth from England to California ... both foreign countries to a Texas boy.

William,
It looks a lot better than the UKS crest reduced down - the definition was just too blurry. I used Adobe Photoshop and cleaned up some of the stray pictles and sharpened the image and changed some contrast & color settings. I was really pleased with how it sharpened up.
Help yourself to it, or if you want anything "cleaned up" a little let me know and I will do it and email it to you. I have bunches of belt icons, but not bunches of Kenpo Black Belt icons - so I was really excited to find it. Hope you don't mind. I definitly did not claim it as my artwork - usually buttons or cursors I generally don't. Anything big I try to give credit for. Just wanted something more reflective of me, not my association. If you have an issue with this, feel free to let me know.
Thanks,
-Michael

I use Corel to do the majority of my work on graphics, although I do have Adobe Photo Shop. Let me see if there is anything that I can do with our UKS crest, and I'll e-mail it to you if it turns out any good.

Ralph Chinnick is my Sensei at Professional Self Defence, in Victoria, BC, Canada, and is the man directly responsible for the very strong Kenpo Influence on Vancouver Island (and all of BC, actually).
And yes, he's still one tough old bastard (you didn't hear that, did you Ralph?) and its an honour to learn from a Master of his caliber (8th degree Black Belt Kenpo, 3rd degree Black Belt in Jujitsu and 2nd degree Black Belt in Hung Gar Kung Fu).
