Ron Gatewood Where is this site going?? I try hard to get the information of this Art out that most don’t know or have long been forgotten. I try to balance San Soo and to keep those advised of the take over of the US, but few seem to care. Most act as a vacuum sucking up information, yes there are thumbs up but only a few ever post or even ask a question. San Soo people … Read more
For all those who were to stupid to listen to the warning. It’s Friday the 13th, this is the first thing I saw this morning, this is what we are in for. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=823101844925254 A very disturbing remark from political commentator Jennifer Rubin [fb_vid id=”photo_id”:”823101844925254″”][fb_vid id=”823101844925254″]
How stupid can we be??? The left does not cover what it is doing, in fact it gives names to its programs that say what they are doing and we never read the words. Case in point, the name of the company that many believe controlled the election (I can not be too specific as the powers will hit the button that sends this post to never, never land) and please look up who owns … Read more
Jimmy’s Last fight! I was not in the studio during Jimmy’s last fight but someone told me what happened (I forgot who, it was a long time ago) but someone here asked about it and I wrote what I remembered. While going through my files I discovered someone gave me a written punch by punch of what he saw. Again I don’t remember who it was but his details were almost exact to what I … Read more
We are only a link in the the chain of San Soo. Here is message I posted in the “Editor’s Soap Box” in the first issue of the San Soo Journal in 1994. Please click on the article and you can see the whole thing!……..or read on…. EDITOR’S SOAPBOX The responsibility of passing on the Art of San Soo is great and brings us together for one purpose. Through the years we have made friends … Read more
Editor’s note: I just wanted to remind everyone to share these posts on your own pages and wherever San Soo people may gather. We need to share what Ron has gathered over his 60 years in this Art while we can. Much of this information isn’t available elsewhere and once it’s gone, it’s gone. If you have any questions for Ron, here is the place and now is the time. None of us are getting … Read more
Listen to what Ed Parker is trying to say, it is what Jimmy explained many times but in their own words. They were friends at one time. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=259121311261177 VOCABULARY OF MOTION- Refers to having an extensive knowledge of Martial Art movements. Each individual move, whether they be offensive or defensive, is considered to be a letter in the ALPHABET OF MOTION. Combinations using the same arm or foot form WORDS OF MOTION. Combinations employing both … Read more
The truth should set you free! Today I am forced to address a problem that I usually let slide when I read what a San Soo instructor writes about San Soo that is not correct but when others are so far off I must make corrections. Ernest sent me a message of someone who said everyone must decide what our true lineage/history is and referred to Paul Borisoff’s book. Over the years I have had … Read more
Some of the old days! I was watching this on YouTube, many ask questions about how Jimmy trained us in the early years, here is a chance for you to watch and learn. These were some of his top guys, and Jimmy showed some nice moves. The video has 3 demo’s, the first one in Chinatown you may have seen but the next two has much info. If a student was smart he would watch … Read more
This is a difficult task I want to present but I think you should know how the Art has been changed and lost some of its effectiveness, as far as why you will have to ask the changers. Many have been friends and it is hard to do this but what they have done to the Art Jimmy gave us I can not respect. I am going to pick lesson (Basic #9) and show what … Read more
New vid (copied from 8mm) the best one so far. I am very exited by this one, it had so much info I was going to split it. There are so many techniques and form a smart instructor could teach a student for years. Some of the greats sharing lessons for that day and what I missed during the week. Also interesting workouts like Bill Lasiter and Chuck Cory and many lessons given by Jimmy. … Read more
Thought you might want to see some form taught from your Art in China today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xI4Ej6BIzxU
Hear it first hand! People are so quick to tell you Jimmy said this or that but many times I wonder if they are able to understand what he really said. Here is a bit of his wisdom he tells us that is very true. You will need to learn to understand him, it really is not that hard, we all had to do it. Listen as often as it takes to understand and it … Read more
How many times can we get even with our kids? Well here is mine, my son Gary used to come to Jimmy’s sometimes to learn and workout. Looking through the old films I found this, Jimmy giving him his yellow belt and tying it on. Gary then goes out and works out with Jeanette and gets his first kiss which he quickly wiped off. Dumb, he had his chance. heh heh Jeanette was very good … Read more
