Ed Parker's 2nd book published in 1963, The Secrets of Chinese Karate; can anyone offer a review on it? Thinking about buying it.

Thanks!
 
Excellent book, both from a historical point, and as a reference. He lists some basics that have all but fallen out of AK...including chopping hooks and smothering punches.

IMO, a must-have for the serious kenpo student.

I'm trying to get a copy at a reasonable price. It contains the 'Two Man Set'. And that's why.

Supposedly the two-man set in there was just slightly different than what Parker was actually teaching at the time so he could see who had learned it from the book. An interesting comparison would be to look at that old footage of him doing two-man and compare it to what he published in that same time period.
