Some basic facts
1) Loveland Kenpo Karate School is NOT like the other Kenpo schools around Northern Colorado...ask the school owner or teaching staff who they studied with...none can truthfully say "over 10 years with Senior Grandmaster Edmund K. Parker", because none have...they met him a number of times, or attended some of his seminars, and having done so, claim to have 'studied' under him...however, this level of experience does not strictly qualify one as a 'student' of Ed Parker or anyone else for that matter...
2) Those peers and seniors of mine that Mr. Parker deemed his students, actually had lessons with him for many years (usually each week, either in his front room, his Pasadena school, his Santa Monica School or at our own school), and are his 'true' 1st generation Black Belts... As such, we have been the purveyors of his system of Kenpo since his passing in 1990...
3) Over time and not being anywhere near the source, others have been taught a watered down form of Kenpo, and they in turn, continue to teach the same...hence, the practical self-defense aspect of Kenpo virtually no longer exists at those schools...they are perpetuating the learning of weak movements that won't work on the street...Neither the teachers nor their students ever develop the high level of Kenpo skill Mr. Parker demanded of his Black Belts...
4) At Loveland Kenpo Karate School, our Kenpo Legacy is strong and un-questionable (see my bio).
5) Loveland Kenpo Karate School is NOT A ' BELT FACTORY ' where you show up for a test, pay your fee and automatically pass, even if you don't know the full curriculum for that rank or can't perform it at the required skill level...here, you won't pass if you don't know the curriculum and can't demonstrate the proper level of proficiency for that rank, period...
6) Loveland Kenpo Karate School DOES NOT use 'cycles' that require you to test every 9 weeks or whatever. This 'cycle' method of instruction is a ploy to extricate more testing fees from you...Here, you train at your own pace...you have all the time you need...you will test for higher rank when you are ready, period.
7) Success at Loveland Kenpo Karate School requires commitment on your part...You must practice...There is no other way.
I will promise that if you decide to begin, or continue, your training at Loveland Kenpo Karate and stick with it, you may realize:
1) An in-depth knowledge of modern Kenpo self defense technique.
2) A skilled proficiency level that will allow you to protect yourself and/or your loved ones for REAL.
3) Higher levels of flexibility, strength and overall fitness.
4) A heightened sense of 'Symmetry' throughout your body.
5) A sharper memory.
6) A REAL sense of accomplishment.
7) The opportunity for socialization...some of our students become good friends.
8) A great way to " Do Something different" for a change.
