"EXPOSED - Black Belts of the IKKA before Ed Parker's Death

   After Mr. Parker's death every Tom, Dick and Harry claimed that they had achieved a certain rank through the IKKA.

   Well, the IKKF has found a copy of the actual ranking of Mr. Parker's black belt student just before he passed on in Dec, 1991.

   This is an unadulterated original document is dated September 1991 (approx. 60 days before Mr. Parker's death).

   Some of the 'Seniors' are not going to be happy with this listing, as it shows their TRUE rank as per the IKKA.

   All I can say to these people is "Get a Life and Get Over Yourself!" I am sure they'll quickly run back to the safety of their dark 'chat rooms' like little cockroaches, where they continue to spread rumors and lies about other Kenpo practitioners.

   To these wannabe Martial Artist I say  "Step into the light and be recognized, if you have something to say" otherwise say nothing. You 'people' are the reason that the Kenpo system will never be as recognized as some lesser arts.

   This non-stop bickering like old women and Ego positioning is for little kids and their silly backyard games and NOT for mature adults. So, GROW UP!

   This report shows the REAL rank, of many of the higher ranking black belts.

   For instance, Jeff Speakman was a 4th Dan and the highest rank ever issued by Mr. Parker was a 7th Dan.

   Yes, there is another Kenpo artist listed as a 4th Dan, even though he should have been graded much higher. He is an exceptional Kenpo practitioner, but he refused to be promoted by Mr. Parker. He felt like he was not ready. He did not advance to his current rank of Grand Master, until several years later when he established is own federation.

   My instructor, Lee Bachman, was a fourth Dan and I am not on the list since I was not an IKKA member at that time.
