OHANA  MARTIAL ARTS  ASSOCIATION​

I teach these techniques not for the sake of teaching the techniques, but for the principles that are involved in the techniques.  And even then, these principles have to be altered to fit the individual.  My system is structured to bring out a “style” of an individual.  

​

His “style” will be determined by his anatomical structure.  The other day, one of my black belts asked “Mr. Parker, how do you do this?  There’s got to be one way to do it.”  I said that there is no one way for everybody.
