Jason- press on, the articles are worth the effort.

That's it, where's my sparring gear!:boxing:

P.S. I happen to have ALL the articles!

HA! I'm immune! When I was a kid, my dad used to play that and Tex Ritter's "Hillbilly Heaven" until I cursed the guy who invented the record player. Not to mention "Son, Don't Go Near The Indians", "Cowboy In The Continental Suit", and "A Boy Named Sue".

:shrug:

That is the title of the article series in question. Six parts of a 16 part series were posted on the original Tracy's website, written by Will Tracy back when he was maintaining the website.

When Al Tracy took over the website, the articles were discontinued. I have no idea whether Will Tracy ever finished the series or whether they can be found anywhere else on the internet.

They are fascinating. Glad I made hard copies...

I did a casual search last night on the web for them but couldn't find the letters. I'm going to keep looking. Besides being an interesting read I am looking for more information on TRACO. If these letters help in my search or not I don't know? Maybe I should just two step around this subject.

The material that these articles were based on was also released by the Al Tracy on video tape, and YES the information on them is bound to p**s-off many AK practitioners. All I will say about them is from a research point view he shows alot of evidence to support his statements on the video tapes.

As far as I know the History of Kenpo Videos are no longer available, but you could try contacting Al Tracy directly via his website. He may have a few left laying around.

I never own this video before. I guess if many people call Al Tracy about it. I'm sure he will have this kind of video in the future.

if you want this kind of video, just call him and inquire about it. The more you call, the SOONER you will get it

Let me share with people about Al tracy's article **ssing AK guys off.

According to his wife, the reason why this article is no more because some of information appeared in this article was * not * accurate.

They don't care if It is P*ssing AK guys off.

Important note: this is not my intention to stir or create problem between AK and Al Tracy's people.

i just simply share with you what i know

The copies I have are copyrighted by Will Tracy. I do not know much about copyright law, so I will not post them. I would suggest contacting Will Tracy about them. Oh, and I was incorrect. I only have 5 chapters of the series, not 6.

As far as Al Tracy's History of Kenpo videos are concerned, he released those tapes around 1991, about 5 years before Will Tracy began writing his series. I asked Mr. Tracy (Al) in 1994 about purchasing the tapes, and he said he had discontinued them in light of new information he was uncovering regarding our history. The newer information made the tapes seem very incomplete, and therefore inaccurate.
