Change of course! I have tried to keep everyone aware of the political situation we are facing but if they can take the President offline they could sure get me. This could damage my life’s work about the real info of San Soo and what it’s all about. My warnings did not seem popular and it seemed only few responded or seemed to care. Social media has become an enemy to freedom of speech which … Read more

From Ron Gatewood: Targets!! This is a chart I prepared when I taught the California Highway Patrol for the straight baton training prior to them switching to the PR-24 side handle baton which I was also certified to teach. I feel the straight baton is far more efficient. Consider the minimal damage to Rodney King with 50 some strikes. One or two strikes with a straight baton (especially rattan) would do far more damage if … Read more

Oregon Cops Would Need Bachelor’s Degrees Within 4 Years Or Be Fired Under Proposed Bill – The Police Tribune

I had to post this, if I told you, you would never believe it. Four years to get a four year degree, work full and overtime, go to court, and probably have to self pay for college. This is one way to have NO cops.

Things I missed back then! What a second San Soo education I am getting as I work on the current video discs using knowledge of body language and statement analysis to better understand. Back then I only understood slightly however it is much different now. As we get into these, I will try to pass on what I see. Many of the subtleties he attempts to pass on goes over many heads, he tries many … Read more

A Deeper Look At Grandmaster Woo Video Lessons

I have been asked about what can be learned from the videos of Grandmaster Woo. I produced a few clips so we can go over and explain things that I was taught and the value of the Art we learned. There are many levels that one should travel to reach Master some learned and some remained stagnant. Some advanced to flowing movement, triangulation, subconscious movement, leverage and power when needed. The others learned many techniques using power ... Read more

Ground work

Do we need to do more ground work? You bet we do! We had many ground techniques however the Arts have evolved as they always have with new threats which each generation have to face. I have watched many very good stand up fighters from several styles taken off their feet and look as helpless as a turned over turtle. We need to learn some basic ideas on how to stop a take down if ... Read more

Old San Soo vs New San Soo

Old San Soo had a character of its own, it was violent, evasive, brutal and overpowering. Especially for the time we first learned because there were few on the streets who knew how to fight against it. Old San Soo was mostly a stand up Art with a few sweeps and takedowns. When interviewed, Chan Sai Mo (his classmate and Son of his instructor Chan Siu Hung) told us that he knew nothing but Choy … Read more

In The Beginning

When I found Grandmaster Woo In 1962 I was very impressed with what I saw. I had some idea of combat as I was raised in Compton, boxed as a young teenager in Golden Gloves and studied Ju Jitsu at a Recreation center, I knew this guy was good. Back then there was very little martial arts taught, maybe 4 or 5 schools in all of the Los Angeles area. I had seen a Kung … Read more

In The Beginning 2

Grandmaster Woo modified his teaching plan to better serve the American and eliminated most of the Chinese methods of standing the horse for months before any combat tactics were taught. He knew most Americans would not do this so he bypassed this basic training because if he had not the school would not have survived. Most were not interested I learning forms, they just wanted to learn to fight and defend themselves. Taking this shortcut … Read more
