There's no better recommendation as to the quality of a product than testimonials written by the people who actually use it.
And, I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to write a brief testimonial on behalf of my work and the Kenpo Journal. I simply couldn't do the work without your support and encouragement.
Mr. Parker left us with a great art and I'm proud to be able to help preserve and advance that art through the Kenpo Journal.

Mr. Hale,
I have stayed glued to my PC going through techniques, starting with yellow and walking through katas slower than ever before. The Q & A section with Mr. Parker is fantastic and provides an insight that is not available anywhere else.

It is indeed an awesome piece of work. I have it installed on my tiny little ASUS netbook complete with a red cover so its looking almost like the Accumulative Journal but from the future.

I want to let you know I think your Kenpo Journal is great. Since the old red Accumulative Journal is largely unavailable, this is the only valid substitute – and even raises the bar a bit. Thanks for great service and a great product.
Gerard M. Honoré - Shavano Park, Texas
Rich,
Got the Journal and I'm using it like a kid with a new toy. If only I had this years ago. It answers so many questions, very neat. Definitely a well laid out product. In the middle of my workouts I'm looking at the tips - Just awesome!

Mr. Hale,
I received your disk on Monday evening when I came home. I do not know what to say. You must be commended for the amount of hours you spent putting together that much information.

Ed Van Aelstyn - Roseville, California
Mr. Hale,
I love this thing!! You did a great job. This is the reference I've always wanted. My friend came over for a workout and I pulled up the relevant pages and read them, before he got here. He was amazed at my 'insights'. Thought I was a genius!! HA!!

Dear Mister Hale,
The Kenpo Journal was sent very fast. Thank you. The job that you have done is unbelievable .
Everything at a touch of a button.

Hello Rich,
I am just a beginner, but thank you for the great service and the time you have taken on improving the Kenpo journal.
Enrique Lozano - Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom
Rich,
This is without a doubt the best resource I’ve ever personally reviewed on the subject of Ed Parker’s American Kenpo.
This is obviously an intensively time demanding and mentally fatiguing labor of love – Bravo sir.
Steve Zalazowski - Salinas, California
Hey Rich,
Just received your Kenpo Journal. Man, what a Job!!!! This is outstanding!
Wish we could have a beer right now, but I guess it has to wait until February (when you come to Florida).
Rainer Schulte - Inverness, Florida
Hi Rich,
I recieved the Kenpo Journel the other day and I find it great, I am still learning all the time what a piece of work Mr Parker left us, and what you've done by putting it on a CD is a blessing to us all. I thank you for that.
Willie Kelly - Dublin, Ireland
Mr. Hale,
This has been a huge resource and was well worth every penny.

First I want let you to know that it is an honor for me to write to you. I hope you can understand my English.

Chris Helmecke - Hamburg, Deutschland, Germany
Hi Sensei Rich,
The Kenpo Journal is finally here. I'm still going through parts of it, but whao! There's so much Kenpo information here.
I have to say that this is the kind of compilation that helps preserve the system. Thank you so much.
Jose Garcia - Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Mr. Hale,
The Kenpo Journal is indispensable reading on and off the mat. It has earned a place on my bookshelf (though it's rarely there) with Mr. Parker's Infinite Insights series and Mr. Wedlake's Kenpo Karate 101, 201 etc. books.
Tony Shelton - Plano, Texas
Rich,
The Kenpo Journal is, in my opinion, the best continuing source of reference preserving our amazing art of Ed Parker's American Kenpo. Any serious Kenpo student will own one. It's on the top of my recommendation list!
