I am disappointed! I have tried very hard to create an interest in body language and statement analysis, which is far more important and useful in your life than San Soo because you can use it every day and make your San Soo better because you will know when and how the opponent will attack and how dangerous he may be. I have tried to get you involved and there is Zero interest, I have … Read more

OK! DVD’s 17 and 18 of the Learn with Jimmy Series are ready! This is Barbara…I really enjoyed watching these DVD’s as I prepared them. #17 has some interesting stuff – techniques and a couple stories. You will see why you should use both hands with one thumb backing the other for strength in one technique – why it’s better than using one hand and not setting up your opponent properly. And…which way does your … Read more

Question of the day? Some forms start with a very special move that had a purpose which many do not know but a few of you may. From set position your right leg circles out to the right, then your left leg circles out to your left. You are now in a square horse with your fists still at your sides. What is the purpose of that move?

Ancient Chinese Secret! (not really) When I began learning weapons I asked Jimmy, “when a student demonstrated with a staff weapon with a blade, how do you keep track of the direction of your blade when doing a fast form”? Some of those would be a spear, quan do, pa, etc. He said you should take a tool like a sander, a file, chisel, sharp knife and carve a small thin flat line all the … Read more

Can anyone tell what the difference between a Dragon Fist and Phoenix fist. are they used different, what is their purpose? Kung Fu uses them but Jimmy did not use the name.

Learn ways to read how your opponent really feels! Some people will try to set you up with a smile prior to striking. Science and investigators thought you should not try to try to read a persons facial reaction because most lie a lot and have learned to hide facial clues. After much research they changed their view and determined there were mini facial tics, mini nerve reactions just before the lie. The easy one … Read more

” /> Why did Bruce Lee beat so many fighters? Both his speed and tactics were underestimated and they probably never saw tactics outside of their school. I talked to Melvin Quen about it since he studied with Bruce and Jimmy at the same time. He beat one guy after another even though they watched the previous match. They did not know how fast he was and they were easy picking for him. He would … Read more

Tim Lee, Thought you might have some fond memories on this one.

Time to resist! Take the time to read this because all you love and believe in is about to vanish, our Government is being destroyed and taken over and every freedom we know is disappearing and this is planned. The Teachers Asso. have successfully programmed our kids to hate all we know, history, the flag, the Church, real Government, real education, earned wealth and they will never see reality. The borders are being swarmed with … Read more

Who the hell does Facebook think they are? They are the enemy to our freedom, as is Twitter and all the other left wing Communists trying to bring down the best Nation known to man, there has never been a better one. Wait until they have crushed us, who do you think the over 800 Fema camps are waiting for. First they delete my photo of me firing a firearm at a Law Enforcement range … Read more

” /> Are you still in grade school? Many, maybe even most of the San Soo students are still in the 5th grade, sure you have a ton of lessons packed away in your notebook but will or can you use them may be another issue. I have tried to introduce higher levels of thought but in general it seems like a failure in most cases because only few respond in most cases and many … Read more

Life is a stage, want to win, learn to play! If I give you a social (dealing with people) formula it usually can be tweaked to almost anything you do. Many things I teach refer to Law Enforcement because that’s what I did for many years and much of what I did was control someone by language, posture, distance, force, respect, friendly actions, just to name a few. If it was real or fake, I … Read more
