“The reason I give my techniques names is because there are certain sequences associated with these terms. If I told a student tomo...rrow that I was going to teach him a counter version to a double hand grab, it’s not as meaningful as when I say I’m going to teach him ‘Parting Wings’. It’s not explained, basically, but it sounds intriguing. There’s a little mystique and the student looks forward to learning what this is. And though each term I use had a particular sequence I want students to follow, these are ideas and not rules. At any given moment they may alter these ideas.” -Ed Parker Sr.
