Didn't you know that the elephant stance has always been in the system? How could you have missed that? This was told to me in a telephone conversation recently, in a joking manner.
It seems one of our illustrious seniors has been teaching it a seminars, along with his now-famous tag-lines, "We've always done it", or "It's always been there." I'd never seen or heard of such a thing in kenpo but had to investigate because we DO have some movements in the system that are referred to as elephant trunk techniques.
I contacted the man who originally taught this senior. He said there was a person, not Ed Parker, who tried to get the "elephant stance" integrated into the system. It didn't happen. Neither did the attempt to add the "Iron Pot" or "Giant Walking" stances. So, no - there is no elephant stance in Parker kenpo.
You're dying to know what they are. I was told the elephant stance is a horse-stance, toe-out. Some systems do this and at least one calls it the mountain stance. Ed Parker didn't want your toes sticking out because they would get stomped if a guy contoured your shin. The Iron Pot resembled someone carrying a large, heavy iron pot, like Kwai-Chang Caine with the hot coals.
Sorry, can't see Ed Parker doing that. Last, the Giant Walking stance was moving as if your feet were sticking in mud. Yep, some systems do that, too, because they worked in rice paddies and your feet did get stuck in the mud. Ed Parker designed his kenpo for Americans who mostly wear shoes and walk on concrete.
If nothing else, I have learned to question what I am told is true. This stuff certainly falls into this category. I see the problem being that this senior is now out there teaching this stuff and the next generations are taking it in. He complains openly about the state of kenpo being so bad yet goes out and contributes to it in this manner. Is this what you do when you "run out of stuff" to teach? Start dredging up obscure items from some past class that died on the vine and using it as seminar material to make it look as if you have many more "secrets"? This particular instructor has taken to going to great lengths to create an appearance that he knows so much more than any other instructor and they all do it wrong. Some people may buy into it but from what I'm being told on the seminar circuit, more are catching on to his game. It's a shame really, he does know so much and understands it so well that he needn't do this, and that's what people are seeing, too.

New stuff
First, Kenpo Karate 601, on Form Six, is almost ready to go to the printer. Mike Squatrito has been working diligently to get the photos set up and told me he's done. Hopefully it will go to the print shop in the next two weeks and be out by early July. Pre-orders will be available on my website soon.
Second, I've been asked to be a contributor to a new edition of Martial Arts of the World: An Encyclopedia. http://www.amazon.com/Martial-Arts-World-Encyclopedia-Set/dp/1576071502/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1209390042&srsr=1-1
I'll write the section on Ed Parker's Kenpo. The deadline is Oct 1, but I don't know when the book will be out. If you follow the link above you'll see that it's an expensive book, aimed at libraries and research centers. I have John Corcoran to thank for the recommendation to the editor.

More on brains
Older Brain Really May Be a Wiser Brain
By SARA REISTAD-LONG
When older people can no longer remember names at a cocktail party, they tend to think that their brainpower is declining. But a growing number of studies suggest that this assumption is often wrong.
Instead, the research finds, the aging brain is simply taking in more data and trying to sift through a clutter of information, often to its long-term benefit.
The studies are analyzed in a new edition of a neurology book, “Progress in Brain Research.”
Some brains do deteriorate with age. Alzheimer’s disease, for example, strikes 13 percent of Americans 65 and older. But for most aging adults, the authors say, much of what occurs is a gradually widening focus of attention that makes it more difficult to latch onto just one fact, like a name or a telephone number. Although that can be frustrating, it is often useful.
“It may be that distractibility is not, in fact, a bad thing,” said Shelley H. Carson, a psychology researcher at Harvard whose work was cited in the book. “It may increase the amount of information available to the conscious mind.”
For example, in studies where subjects are asked to read passages that are interrupted with unexpected words or phrases, adults 60 and older work much more slowly than college students. Although the students plow through the texts at a consistent speed regardless of what the out-of-place words mean, older people slow down even more when the words are related to the topic at hand. That indicates that they are not just stumbling over the extra information, but are taking it in and processing it.
When both groups were later asked questions for which the out-of-place words might be answers, the older adults responded much better than the students.
“For the young people, it’s as if the distraction never happened,” said an author of the review, Lynn Hasher, a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and a senior scientist at the Rotman Research Institute. “But for older adults, because they’ve retained all this extra data, they’re now suddenly the better problem solvers. They can transfer the information they’ve soaked up from one situation to another.”
Such tendencies can yield big advantages in the real world, where it is not always clear what information is important, or will become important. A seemingly irrelevant point or suggestion in a memo can take on new meaning if the original plan changes. Or extra details that stole your attention, like others’ yawning and fidgeting, may help you assess the speaker’s real impact.
“A broad attention span may enable older adults to ultimately know more about a situation and the indirect message of what’s going on than their younger peers,” Dr. Hasher said. “We believe that this characteristic may play a significant role in why we think of older people as wiser.”
In a 2003 study at Harvard, Dr. Carson and other researchers tested students’ ability to tune out irrelevant information when exposed to a barrage of stimuli. The more creative the students were thought to be, determined by a questionnaire on past achievements, the more trouble they had ignoring the unwanted data. A reduced ability to filter and set priorities, the scientists concluded, could contribute to original thinking.
This phenomenon, Dr. Carson said, is often linked to a decreased activity in the prefrontal cortex. Studies have found that people who suffered an injury or disease that lowered activity in that region became more interested in creative pursuits.
Jacqui Smith, a professor of psychology and research professor at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan, who was not involved in the current research, said there was a word for what results when the mind is able to assimilate data and put it in its proper place — wisdom.
“These findings are all very consistent with the context we’re building for what wisdom is,” she said. “If older people are taking in more information from a situation, and they’re then able to combine it with their comparatively greater store of general knowledge, they’re going to have a nice advantage.”

Giving back
I was sent an article from Chicago about my old flight instructor, Steve Bonk. Steve is the founder of an event that benefits a care facility in the Chicago area named Park Lawn. Steve was also taking kenpo a few years ago and we crossed paths when he came to one of my seminars.
What makes me glad about seeing things like this is that he is instrumental in giving back to his community. Steve does it by promoting his event, which is a motorcycle run. They raised $15,000 for the center last year.
Last week I was part of a run to Tampa to present the Special Operations Warrior Foundation with the proceeds of a run we had here in Ft. Myers in April that raised just over $11,000. They told me I had gotten the most items contributed for the silent auction, and I thank those of you who read this that donated. Like the Chicago newspaper article said, "bikers are very generous people". Bo McCormick here in Florida did a great job with the event.
Kyle Zwarg just ran a free women's self-defense class at his Ft. Myers studio,a tradition he keeps alive from when I ran the school. I firmly believe in these types of activities to give back to our communities. We come from the warrior tradition, and the Japanese word samurai means "to serve".
Keep up the good work, guys.

Power and loyalty
I read an article by motivational speaker Brian Tracy (who is a black belt, by the way, and downline from one of my black belts) on power. He says there are three types; expert power, ascribed power, and position power.
Becoming an expert in your field and thereby being sought due to that describes expert power. When people gravitate to you naturally, he calls it ascribed power. Having a position of authority is defined as position power. He states that ideally you should strive for all three.
You can probably think of people who fit each one of these descriptions but maybe not as many who fit all three. I'd use Ed Parker as an example of having all three. He was an expert in his field. And when I am told stories of what he was like as a young instructor he apparently knew much more than expected for his age, so rising to an expert position was not hard to understand. As he matured he was asked to visit countries around the world - attributable to his status as an expert.
As a person of Hawaiian royal lineage he had that "certain something", charisma, that drew people to him. He would have been a prince if the royal lineage had been sustained, and as I've said elsewhere, he acted like a prince and the people loved him. He possessed ascribed power. When you ascribe power you allow people into your life to affect it. The cashier at the supermarket does not have ascribed power in your life, they have position power.
Position power came to Ed Parker as an instructor, and later as the head of an international karate association and senior grandmaster. His work as a teacher, guide, facilitator, author, speaker, businessman, friend, and family man all were contributing factors. He was truly unique.
Now think about the people in our lives who possess power. Boss, spouse, friends, teachers, associates. How many of these types of power do they have? How many do you have? I look back at my martial arts teachers and view them in this light. I have for quite some time but the Brian Tracy article delineated the types so well it got me thinking. I have one teacher in particular that had expert power, gained position power, but really lacked in ascribed power.
In hindsight, I think he had a degree of ascribed power for some time period over many of us until we realized just what he was like, having been blinded by his position as expert and holding some "power" to promote. The expert power was strong because he really knew his subject. The ascribed power was weak due to personality and the position power lost effectiveness due to his ascribed power weakness. A shame, really, but a lesson in really considering who your teacher is, in any pursuit.
There just are not that many who have all three that we meet and involve in our lives. It's a gift when they are there. I've met more than my share of great martial artists. Some are whole people, some are just nuts. And I've met some practitioners who are the Barney Fifes of martial arts - nice people, hold power by position, but missing something. But that's what made Barney popular; people can relate because we all know or can think of a Barney Fife.
In my mind, power and loyalty often go together. Many years ago one of my friend's fathers observed that his son's buddies were "a loyal bunch of bastards". And we were, we were tight, and 30 years later we're still talking. It's been my experience that true loyalty flows both ways and when it doesn't something needs to be corrected or changed.
I've been a black belt since 1975. In the past 30+ years I have not promoted a ton of black belts. Some I inherited. It averages out to 2.6 promotions/year. But of all those people, very few have either jumped ship or been asked to walk the plank. Of 20 4th degree and higher students one died, one disappeared, two went inactive due to injuries (not karate induced), one left and one I told I could not remain as his instructor. That means almost 75% have stayed with me. The newest 4th degrees have been with me about 10 years or so, the higher guys between 20-30 years. Why is that?
I like to think it's because I have expert power, for one. Second, I have some position power, being a senior in the system. But I think I have ascribed power. I try to treat my people right. I mess up now and again and I try to recognize that and make it right (sometimes you just can't). I give credit where credit is due. I try to be a good friend. I overheard Gary Ellis tell Steve White that he knows I care about him and that makes him feel good about our relationship. I know Ed Parker cared about me and I felt good about that. My group in Chicago keeps having me back, treats me well, stays in touch, brings their wives and kids to after-seminar gatherings to say hello and all the good stuff that goes with being a part of this family. I've been gone from the Windy City for almost 20 years. They could have done what many groups do when their instructor leaves; they start shopping around. I've seen it time and again around the world. While they have attended seminars with other well-known instructors, they choose to remain with me. Why? Loyalty and friendship. They continue to ask me to teach them and in return I keep up on new developments, work on better and more in-depth presentations for them. I have to stay ahead, that's part of "the deal". It's a two-way street. And it's not confined to my Chicago people, I try to give every group I'm with my best.
I've been where the street is a one-way, maybe a dead end would be a better description. It's not good. You may have to make a difficult decision and give yourself permission to leave. It won't be the end of the world. It will be hard, and emotional. We deal with enough garbage in life that we don't need someone we look up to who doesn't really care about us. I guess it boils down to whether the student thinks the teacher is really what they need and for the teacher to consider if they are holding up their end of the deal.
'nuff said.

Kenpo Continuum update
I got this note from Amy Long regarding her book, The Kenpo Continuum.
Hello!
A quick update. Progress on the book is being made. I have almost everything I need from Edmund Parker Jr. for the book. I have the forward and all but one portrait. Once we're finished with the layout, I'll send a complete list of who is in the book. If you think you're in it and you're name isn't on the list, let me know asap. I haven't heard yet from my layout gal the exact number, but I think it's about 125, give or take.
Also, if you are one of the few people who have yet to get me a good picture, get with it!
I think it's going to be an amazing book and I'm really excited to get it going. If you want to order extra copies for yourself, your relatives or your school, order early to ensure you get a copy and to save on shipping. The price will go up as soon as I get the copies in hand. People who pre-order are saving money, so order early and order often.
The ordering info is on the page. It says 'extra copies'. I'll have the next calendar of events out in about a week. If you have any events coming up that you want to have listed, let me know. If you want your friends or students to get the mailings, you can sign them up on the page listed below as well. Once the book is out, the mailings will just be for upcoming events.
Thanks!!!

New England camp 2008
Almost 100 people showed up to participate in the seminars held in Manchester, NH this past weekend. Steve White and his group hosted an excellent event. A big pat on the back to Bill Gaudette, Jim Peacock, Tim Mackenzie, Lee McDonald and the rest of the staff who helped make it happen.
Friday evening we had classes at Manchester Karate Studio. I taught along with Australia's Jack Nilon, the subject being how to absorb and redirect energy from a shot that makes contact. It was Jack's first time as a guest instructor teaching a group of more than 70 people.
The following class was co-taught by Steve White and Gary Ellis. Mr. Ellis is from Plymouth, England, which made the event truly international. They worked on countering holes in a poorly executed technique using a standard technique right out of the Parker curriculum. Well done!
Saturday's event was held near the host hotel. Bill Gaudette led off to get them warmed up. Jim Peacock extended the thread introduced on Friday night with the technique counters. My sessions were facilitated with the help of Lance Soares and Jack Nilon. Gary Ellis worked the group on enhancing power transfer with visualization and Steve White did high-energy work on picking up and destroying attack lines.
Dr. Francis Rene was there from New Orleans. He was promoted to 4th black by Mr. White, a well-deserved promotion for a knowledgeable man who has put many years into the study and practice of kenpo.
The attendees came from New York, Massachusetts, Louisiana, and New Hampshire. The instructors were professional and know their subjects. The facility was good and lunch was served right there at the camp. Of my three seventh degrees, only one was missing, and plans are being made to have him, Graham Lelliott, there next year. Don't miss this event!

Ft. Myers seminar
I taught a seminar at Kyle Zwarg's Karate Studio on Saturday, here in Ft. Myers. It was a little strange to teach a seminar in what had been my studio. However, we had a good crowd. It was a nice surprise to see Alicia Martorelli show up with some of here students from her school in the Ft. Lauderdale area, Warrior and Scholar. She said it had been 10 years since she'd been to the Ft. Myers school. Good to see her and her group.
We worked on contact manipulation techniques, using the Parker handshake techniques as examples and I threw in some other "tricks" for handshakes I've picked up over the years.
In the next month or so I'll be doing seminars in Manchester, New Hampshire, Charleston, South Carolina and at our other Ft. Myers location, Gulf Coast Kenpo in Cape Coral.
