lessons with ed parker: 2024 edition

Lee Wedlake studied with SGM Ed Parker from 1979 through 1990. Under Parker’s tutelage he would become one of the most senior instructors of the Parker Kenpo system, and his journey from being a practitioner of an offshoot style to becoming a first-generation student of the ＂Father of American Karate＂ is described through a combination of personal lesson and seminar notes along with a plethora of unique personal experiences and in-depth technical discussions.

For people who want to know not only what Ed Parker was teaching but what he was like as a person this book is a must-have for your library, written by one of the very few people who accompanied Ed Parker across the globe and experienced first-hand the evolution of the art of Kenpo in the decade before Parker’s untimely passing.
