🥋 PART 2 NOW LIVE – CHUCK EPPERSON on FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS + SYSTEM EXPANSION

In Part 2 of my interview with Mr. Chuck Epperson, we dive into his influential exposure to Filipino martial arts — including Kali and Doce Pares Eskrima — introduced initially by GM Huk Planas and later developed under Grand Master Anthony Kleeman.

These studies led to black belts in Eskrima, Eskrido and Pangamont — forming a level of blended integration rarely seen — and one that eventually shaped his functional street-oriented hybrid: Kenpo Kali.

We examine the evolution of arts, the necessity of adaptability, and the real-world application arc that comes through principle — not tradition alone.

Welcome to the Mind Sensei Podcast—where true martial wisdom meets modern inspiration. I’m your host, Peter Tas, and today I’m thrilled to welcome one of American Kenpo’s most innovative teachers—a master whose career bridges tradition and evolution in the martial arts world.

Our guest is Mr. Chuck Epperson: Ninth Degree Black Belt in Ed Parker’s American Kenpo, founder of Epperson Brothers Kenpo Karate Dojo in Chico, California, and the driving force behind the acclaimed Kenpo Kali system. With roots tracing directly to Ed Parker via Grandmaster Richard “Huk” Planas, and a unique blend of Filipino Kali, Eskrima, and classic boxing in his curriculum, Chuck has spent over four decades refining, teaching, and evolving real-world self-defense for students of all ages.

He’s a USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame inductee, a champion competitor, a respected mentor, and an artist on and off the mat. Today, we’ll explore Chuck’s training lineage, the philosophy behind Kenpo Kali, and his stories from a lifetime dedicated to martial excellence.

Let’s step onto the mat—and into the mind—of Mr. Chuck Epperson.
