Book Reviews of Ed Parker's Infinite Insights Into Kenpo: Mental & Physical Applications
Book Review: Recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
As a book completing the series, I believe this is an important text. Though it was published to add final thoughts to the other books in this series, and in some ways it does encapsulate them, this book also stands on its own merit and I believe it is an important book to read to gain overall understanding of not only the various aspects of kenpo but also self-defense in general.
Particularly interesting are the chapters on environment and range. Here you can really take the information presented and use it when analyzing and preparing you own self-defense strategies.
Though I am not a practitioner of kenpo, I find all of the books in this series very useful and informative tools in adding new ideas to my fighting and self-defense methodologies. Good Book. Good Read. Essential component for everyone's library that wishes to possess an expansive understanding of the various styles and application of the martial arts.
Summary of Ed Parker's Infinite Insights Into Kenpo: Mental & Physical Applications
Completing the "Infinite Insights Into Kenpo" series, with Volume V published in June 1987 brought to an end Sr. Grandmaster of Kenpo Karate Ed Parker Sr.'s monumental masterpieces. The main purpose of this volume was to incorporate all of the basic theories, concepts, and principles discussed in the four earlier volumes together, to achieve a more complete understanding of how these mental and physical aspects relate, function, and apply. Acquiring this knowledge not only develops refined techniques, but also can result in success in combat. Mr. Parker states that "combat without preparation can prove disastrous", he believed that realistic preparations must be made to overcome environmental conditions, unpredictable events, or to curtail an opponent whose unorthodox actions and reactions can unexpectedly create variables that may cause defeat. Realizing that an attack can dictate and direct one's defense, Mr. Parker shared the need o learn combat in total. Mr. Parker concludes this capstone volume with the cornerstone and keystone firmly in place. The years he spent analyzing, scrutinizing, creating and developing his system of American Kenpo were now logically, practically, and sequentially set in place for future students to build on. Grounded, rooted, and established on a firm foundation, students could be secure in the knowledge that this foundation "Art and Science of Street fighting" could consistently be built upon employing existing correct principles.Martial Arts Books
