215-Chuck Sullivan on Ed Parker & Kenpo History

Just dropped a conversation with Chuck Sullivan—Ed Parker’s fourth black belt and one of the first to film Kenpo instructional content back in the ‘80s (when people didn’t believe in video learning). We dug into the roots of Ed Parker Kenpo, the early pushback against content creation, and how things have evolved now in 2025 where online instructionals are the norm. Chuck shares stories about training under Ed Parker, the first international Kenpo tournament, and what it was like building martial arts schools when there were no blueprints. He also gets real about realizing he was blindly following everything he was taught—and how over time, he had to break away from that mindset to find what truly worked for him. 🔥 And yeah… right at the end, he casually drops that he met Bruce Lee—and that meeting changed everything. 📍If you’re into martial arts history, real talk, and evolution through experience, this one’s a must-watch.
