I’m your  host Peter Tas and  Today, we have a very special guest, close friend, Mentor and personal Instructor, 9th degree Kenpo master who has dedicated his life to the study and practice of martial arts. He's the founder of the GLKenpo Karate organization, hailing from Clovis, California. He's none other than Graham Lelliott.

Graham's journey in martial arts began in the 1970s, when he started training in Kenpo Karate based out of  the Jersey Islands UK and then directly under the tutelage of the legendary Senior Grandmaster Edmund Parker, the founder of American  Kenpo and father of American Karate. 

Mr Parker's influence had a profound impact on Graham, as he learned not only the physical techniques of Kenpo but also the principles, concepts, Theories  and philosophy behind it.

Over the years, Graham's dedication has led him to be a first generation student of Senior Grand Master Ed Parker and had continued to train and teach under Parker's guidance until his passing in 1990, and has since carried on his legacy as a respected and accomplished Kenpo Karate practitioner and teacher.

Graham  is affectionately nicknamed the “Gov” by his students, as he  is known for his human connection that has not only brought together students from all around the world into the GL Kenpo fold but also runs one of the largest Biannual  international Kenpo training camps of the Kenpo Who’s who that's held in wonder valley California.

In this episode, we'll delve into Graham's journey in Kenpo Karate, from his early days as a student to his lineage and his involvement with Grandmaster Edmund Parker to his current role as a renowned martial arts instructor and founder of the GLKenpo Karate organization. 

So, sit back, relax, and get ready to learn from one of the most insightful and inspiring martial artists of our time.
