Hi Ambassadors, Baer and I want to give you an update on our progress. Last year, we had to upgrade all our technology because our equipment was outdated and some of it even stopped working altogether. Since we live in a remote area, overnight shipping can be anything but overnight. Additionally, if there’s an issue with an order we make each item can take lengthy delays to arrive. The good news is that as of late November and prior to our December Tucson Arizona training we were completely upgraded with the technology that we needed to produce the lessons effectively and efficiently. Needless to say, we were pumped about returning to our mountain and the winter conditions of hibernation so we could buckle down and get things moving with the new lessons. As the snow and storms piled up we began working on several lessons at the same time; the Philosophy Course lesson 13 Overview, and several lessons in the History Course. Just when things started to roll our plumbing went kaput and in short we were without plumbing and running water for nearly 3 weeks from Christmas to mid January. Not a small issue. It really threw off our creative edge. After solving that major problem our primary goal was to focus on finishing the Philosophy Course Overview lesson 13. This is a critical lesson as it is foundational to the Paxtial Arts System and we plan to use it to market and bring awareness to the Paxtial Arts. We are also upgrading the sound and lesson material for lesson 2 Formula as this was desperately needed. The early lessons were produced on a shoestring and a dime. Sound quality was horrible and it haunted us. There are 12 Chapters (Glyphs through Mindsync) in the Philosophy Course Overview lesson. This lesson in particular must contain a comprehensive and condensed summary of each lesson in the Philosophy Course and we completely guesstimated wrong the amount of time and creative brainwork it would require to get it done right. As we dove into it we realized how important this first Philosophy Course is in the Paxtial Arts System. The good news is that with the new tech and program that we have acquired to produce the lessons, the video quality is vastly improved. The discouraging part is that it is taking much longer than expected. We have been working diligently every day but we had no idea the requirements of this lesson until we started working on it. Our aged brains are stretched far beyond what we thought containable as libraries of data are ingested while hours are invested schooling on tech then simultaneously outputting concentrated passages of compressed material out for the lesson content. It's just ouch. That being said, we are heartened with all the writings in the forum. We are just blown away by the quality of character in this amazing group of Peacemaker Ambassadors. We love our new Ambassador Emissaries and all that they are contributing in the forum. We just want to point out that Tyros are kids and there are no kids in this Gen 1 circle. We know that everyone involved in this online course has been led here by a force greater than us all and we are thankful for every one of you. We have the best of the best in this circle. We might be the leaders in this journey but we are all pioneers blazing this trail together. In the end this entire curriculum will have everyone's fingerprint written into and embedded in the Curriculum of the Paxtial Arts System. Once this first Paxtial Arts Ambassador Level Curriculum is released in totality it will be HUGE. We anticipate many venues will seek the Paxtial Arts Peacemaker Curriculum and we will make each course available separately as well. The Paxtial Arts System is revolutionary and will become a global force for good. Our aim and goal is to qualify for grant money which can open up future opportunities for us all. The Philosophy Course Lesson 13 Overview video will hopefully kick open that door... We cannot thank you all enough for your patience, support and belief in the Paxtial Arts. We promise that you will not be disappointed in the lesson videos as we work to improve with each production we release. Aloha and Maluhia, Ed and Baer Parker

To all our amazing Paxtial Arts Ambassadors, We are most grateful for your patience. This is what has been going on with the lessons; Baer's and my computers gave up the ghost and it was most devastating. It was actually a miracle we accomplished what we did with them. So with two dead Macs we had to raise funds to replace them. Inspiration came as it often does early one morning when we were surrounded by the Durkee fires here in Eastern Oregon. We took all of the names of dad’s Kenpo Forms and Self Defense techniques, our son in Taiwan translated the names into kanji and they were all illustrated in a black and white Chinese art style. Over 170 pieces of artwork have been completed for American Kenpo and we were able to raise the funds for our computers from the 10 limited edition Kenpo Forms artwork alone. We have not released the 157 American Kenpo techniques artwork yet. The annoying need to sleep gets in the way. In order to stay in operation we needed the residuals from artwork to float the Paxtial Arts as we do not have the student numbers we need to be self sustaining yet. With that being said, we want to let you all know that we do NOT want to market the Paxtial Arts as we only want the cream of the crop of minds and hearts out there to come to us. That way the base will stay solid. We know that the best of the best are coming to us. We want International Ambassador quality lives involved in the foundation of Paxtial Arts. We also just finished the entire Shaolin Kenpo Forms artwork of 40 pieces. This has been the most artwork we have ever completed and in the shortest amount of time; from July to today. We have a website yet to build called The Art of Kenpo. This website will feature all the artwork that will supplement the Paxtial Arts Online Courses. That will be a side project for now. Baer and I have purchased new faster computers and switched to Elon's Star Link as our internet service was crippling us with 10 mbps downloads and 1 mbps uploads. Working on lessons was like wading through a lake of peanut butter daily. Star Link is 1,000 times better than what we previously had. If you are thinking of switching we have discount links we can send you. Paxtial Arts is again our primary focus and as of today are full time on it again. Thank you all sooo much for your patience and hard work in the background. We have been amazed at all you are doing to further the Paxtial Arts in hearts and minds globally. Aloha and Maluhia! Ed and Baer
