Casa de Kenpo, a Parker Kenpo site, has posted to martialtalk some links for a variety of Parker material. This differs from the typical Shaolin Kempo stuff, but they seem to be trying to spread the material around. I haven’t linked the videos, as they provide links in the post.
Classic Nick Cerio Footage
Here’s some old footage (circa 1990) with him explaining his perspective on some history and some of his thought on how his schools should be run.

Animal Techniques from Jesse Dwire
Jesse Dwire of Dragon Phoenix Martial Arts has produced a video of 25 animal techniques that he requires for students at his school. He had a pro come in to shoot it, so production quality should be good. I’ll post a review as soon as I get a copy.
I’ll try to get a preview to post a ‘teaser trailer’ if I can. The animal techniques are a interesting subset of kempos, and it’s nice to have a reference set when you are teaching. This collection of five would be a nice collection to get a feel for each of the animals’ particular movement styles.
