Kenpo Karate Kenpo Karate was once known as the Ed Parker system because many of the Kenpo instructors trained directly under that great martial artists. However, the founder of Kenpo Karate was not Ed Parker but rather his instructor, Professor William (Willie) K. S. Chow, who began calling his system "Kenpo Karate" in 1949. Chow trained in "Kenpo Jiu-Jitsu" under Great Grand Master James Mitose who had learned the Kenpo art in Japan from his grandfather Sakuhi Yoshida. (See A Brief History of Kenpo NOTE: (by Roarke Tracy - 2006) To my knowledge, my father is the only one in the United States who learned all four Katas, though because of a serious back injury, he no longer teaches them. What you will find on kenpokarate.com are what my father, Will Tracy, wrote prior to an accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down, and the subsequent operation that has left him in so much pain he can't concentrate on writing. My own comments are added in italic notes as well as information I've gotten from my two uncles, Al Tracy and Jim Tracy. Professor Chow's "Kenpo Karate" would have become as obscure as James Mitose's Kenpo Jui-Jitsu, had it not been for Edmund K. Parker (1931-1990) who

14. Geoff Farina Afterhours had done a great job promoting the Glorytellers release, and karate/Secret Stars fans came out en masse to hear the new band. http://www.geofffarina.com/

geofffarina Glorytellers on tour Thanks to Adam Arcuragi for having me along for a fine weekend of shows in NY, Philly and Boston. Adam's band sounded great and his catchy songs are still stuck in my head. My favorite show was definitely at PA's Lounge right here in Somerville, where Chris Brokaw and I sounded off duo-style. Billy Ruane (Boston's finest x-promoter/underground sound zealot) was in rare form, heckling Chris and I, prosthelitizing (and rightly so) about how lucky we are to have Tony and Jerry putting on shows at PA's, handing out drinks and fancy cookies and deviled eggs, buying up and handing out all of Adam's CDs, and of course, busting his patented moves. Billy put everyone in a good mood, and the night reminded me of the Boston shows of 20 years ago, when underground music wasn't so serious and people came out just to have a few drinks and a good time. I'll be offline for most of March as my Glorytellers will be heading out for three weeks of Northeast/Midwest gigs, going from Buffalo to Minneapolis to Denver to Chicago and back home through New York, where we'll play two shows with our pals Ida , who also have a new record out. Dates are below...hope to see you there!
