Article: Australian Interested in Gung Fu When I started San Soo in 1962 (Started looking in 1960) it was kind of a secret thing that an American White guy was allowed to learn this Chinese Art. We felt we were part of an elite group, after I searched 2 years to find someone who would teach a non-Chinese. I was reading Black belt Magazine, in the Letter section there it was, a letter from a … Read more
Personal threat assessment Believe it or not you can be trained to be better, you can train yourself to be aware of people’s intent and you may avoid conflict by taking control. Many will laugh and say that’s a bunch of crap but I have seen it and done it myself, many times. It has helped solve crimes including murder, solved cases and saved physical fights. Much of what I am trying to share is … Read more

Need a t-shirt for Christmas? This is Barbara. I was compiling our year end inventory and would like to offer you KFSS T-Shirts at clearance price so I don’t have to count them again. They have the KFSS logo on the left chest – that’s just like the ones Master Gatewood would leave at the El Monte School and Grandmaster Woo would sell for him. Our website is www.sansoojournal.com I have Long Sleeve Navy Blue … Read more
Programing a winning Brain! We have all seen fights where a guy swings aimlessly with a flurry of punches and if he is lucky the guy goes down but it is inefficient. Why waste a punch to his forehead and possibly breaking your hand. If you train your subconscious to find critical targets it will drop him with precision. Best to train this away from class because many instructors/students will not understand and they will … Read more
Jimmy could jump/kick! I have seen him do some awesome things in his younger years, he also did one leg squats – he was The Man! (From Ron Gatewood)
Warning! Would you prefer facts or stories about your art, I was just shown the old lineage chart that we were first told by Jimmy, to be untrue, (it is circling around again) it was part of the marketing ploys because he did not want us to know we were from Choy Li Fut. Have a Chinese read your belt that says Choy Li Fut with Ho and Hung, Jimmy admitted to me that we … Read more
Our real San Soo Association story! When Jimmy first retired we felt no one was powerful enough to replace him so we decided on an association. Many of us met in a room in the bowling alley with an atty. to start the process, Harry Sera who has a strong personality was our first President, we had many meetings but each time we had less people. My position was on the standards committee, our job … Read more

Listen up, This is critical, we are losing this country. Read this and it is happening to others and they can not get help but when it happens to you, you will feel helpless. They can attack, destroy, loot and burn (even kill) and they won’t be prosecuted, if they are arrested they walk out with no bail, and worst they will not be prosecuted, maybe the cops will not come when they are called, … Read more
From Ron Gatewood: Confidence vs Life! This statement is something that every student has heard however it is understood in many ways. To hear Jimmy explain what he really meant may be a little different than you may think. I am going through my personal belongings, collected research and weeding it out, much is very interesting and some has been long forgotten. I found this explanation I wrote over 30 years ago.
Post from Ron Gatewood Jimmy’s Mom holding his photo I am pleased about how this site is progressing and the new San Soo students are searching for real truths of our Art. The old stories are fading and not accepted and the new breed wants the facts. No one is giving that and I feel this is the last chance as those who know something are dying off. Here’s a backstory about this photo. I … Read more
