In 1989 Mr. Parker promoted Mr. Duffy to Fifth Degree Black Belt and began involving Mr. Duffy in projects for the IKKA such as the development of a standardized children's curriculum and revision of the IKKA belt charts and manuals. Mr. Duffy has since authored the Restructured 16 Technique Curriculum currently in use and widely accepted by Kenpo schools all over the world, and has also Sponsored the 1994 Texas Training Camp which saw the birth of the AKSC, as well as developed the Kenpo Long Staff Seminar and Curriculum incorporating Kenpo Techniques and Principles.
