Mr. Parker's answer when asked how he got started in the martial arts - (1974)

"Well, I grew up in Honolulu and of course the area that I grew up in was I guess like East Los Angeles and such areas as New York where you have to pretty much defend yourselves at all times. And in order to uphold my father's standards and what he had set forth because of his religious views I was forced on many occasions to go and rob the local safe, things that were not appropriate, and so in order for me to convince them in that I meant no I couldn't verbally say it I had to physically say it and that's what got me involved in this, and I've been doing it, well, for about 28 or 29 years now." - Mr. Parker
