Sensei Frank Shekosky with
Professor Lee Wedlake

Professor Lee Wedlake, a first generation black belt under the “Father of American
Karate”, Mr. Ed Parker, will be conducting another great Kenpo seminar at Cromwell Martial Arts in MIddletown, Connecticut. Join us on March 9, 2008 for this awesome event!

Professor Wedlake started studying Judo in 1967 at the Shindo Kan school in Chicago, IL. In November 1972 he initiated study of Chinese Kenpo at a school in Evergreen Park, IL. He left that school as a Brown belt and was later promoted to first degree Black belt on June 2, 1975 by Michael John Sanders, a Kenpo 5th Dan, of Sterling, IL., who also later promoted him to 2nd Degree Black. After Sanders' death in July 1979, Mr. Wedlake began studying with Edmund K. Parker, "The Father of American Karate," at Pasadena, CA. in November 1979. He was trained by both Parker and Frank Trejo for two years and promoted to third degree in 1981. He was introduced to Richard "Huk" Planas at the 1982 International Karate Championships and studied concurrently with Planas and Parker. Parker, Trejo, Planas and Joe Palanzo promoted him to fifth degree in September 1986 Ed Parker promoted him to his sixth degree on November 19, 1990, approximately one month before Parker's passing. Frank Trejo and Huk Planas promoted him to 7th degree on June 27, 1993. Then, in October 1998 during the annual Kenpo Camp in Ft. Myers, Huk promoted Mr. Wedlake to 8th degree. In Fall, 2006, Mr. Wedlake was promoted to 9th degree. Over the years, Mr. Wedlake has written a series of very insightful books on Kenpo Karate.
