Here is a picture of Grandmaster Zac Walters and the Father of American Kenpo, Ed Parker.
A quick search reveals that Ed was an innovator, interested in tailoring a martial art for individuals.
He taught, most famously, Elvis Presley and helped Bruce Lee, by introducing him at the International Karate Championships,
which he initiated. Over time, the International Karate Championships have evolved into the U.S Open, however, it was through Ed Parker's iniative the martial arts world could come together in competition and friendship.
