Book Description

Greetings and Salutations; Welcome to the 9th Instructor's Master Text Manual. This Manual is the 1st in a series of Black Belt Manuals. It features the Requirements needed to obtain a 1st Degree Black Belt (Along with your requirements from Yellow Belt through 1st Degree Brown Belt). This is the Manual that many students and Instructor have waited for. It is another step to accomplishing their Goal to becoming a Black Belt. One must remember, that the Journey does not End here, but just begins Becoming a Black Belt in the Art and Science of Ed Parker's American Kenpo Karate means that you have completed your understanding of the Basics, and that you are now ready to Refine as well as to add on more knowledge. As I have repeated myself in all of my Instructor Master Text Manuals, that I do Not wish no disrespect to any Association, Organization, or Instructors for utilizing their Knowledge to share with the students that wish to understand the "Whys" of Ed Parker's Kenpo Karate, and to further their knowledge. It is with respect to them and to the spirit of Master Parker in which I share this Knowledge with the students of the Lacerte's Kenpo Karate Academy. Welcome to the 10th Instructor's Master Text Manual. This Manual will consist of all requirements for the 2nd Degree Black Belt. The timing required between each Degree of Black Belt varies between Associations. The required Time in Grade between 1st and 2nd Degree Black Belt for the IKKA is a minimum of at least two years. I myself have taking at least Five years between each Black Belt Rank to make sure I was not only ready for this Rank, but that I could also understand and teach it to others. If your Goal is to only have Red Strips upon your Black Belt, then you have missed something along your Journey. Once again, as stated within all of my Instructor's Master Text Manuals, it is with No disrespect to any-one Instructor nor Association/Organization that I utilize their neither Training Tips nor Information located in their Books, Manuals, Seminars, nor Work-shops that are found within these pages. I do so only to share with my students the knowledge that is needed to obtain their next Rank in a Formatted order. When the student is tested in front of a Board of Examiners, that they will be able to follow along with the course of the Test and not be confused of what is to come next. These following pages consist of the Requirements set forth by Senior Grand Master Edmund K. Parker for the Rank of 2nd Degree Black Belt as where taught in the manner that he prescribed prior to his parting from us physically (Not Mentally). Leo R.
