Do You Know About Kenpo?

Insights into Bruce Lee, Ed Parker, and American Kenpo Karate


You’re likely familiar with Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris, but did you know they both trained under Ed Parker, the founder of American Kenpo Karate? Here’s an interesting fact: most of Bruce Lee’s fights lasted less than two minutes. When he faced the Chinese champion, it took him just over two minutes to win, which left him disappointed because he felt he should have won faster.

Now, here’s something you might not know: Bruce Lee and Ed Parker once fought, and Ed Parker was the only person who managed to last more than 10 minutes against Lee. This notable event highlights the effectiveness of the style taught at Dragon Storm. The legendary fight between Bruce Lee and Karate Grandmaster Ed Parker showcases the prowess of Kenpo.

Moreover, Kenpo gained further exposure through Jeff Speakman in the movie “The Perfect Weapon.” It has also been featured in TV shows such as “Chuck” and “Leverage,” illustrating its influence and presence in popular culture.
