Larry Wikel has been ill! Thought we might show a demo that Larry did, might cheer him up. I really miss these old guys, we spent so much time together, shared dreams, and told stories, Larry always told the best ones. heh heh Larry listened when Jimmy told us how to cover your ankle when you drop to your knee, Larry did it every time, many Masters do not do it. You protect that ankle … Read more
What attracted me to San Soo If I had to say one word it would be flow. I had a friend in high school that turned out to be a pretty good fighter, he fought another student that all through school bullied people because of the very big person, he was a star player on the football team and everyone feared him. He was much bigger than my friend and I found it hard to … Read more
Learn to listen to your brain, then de-brief for next time! Both Police and Military usually de-brief after combat missions to discuss both positive and negative areas of their mission so the next one will go smoother. We should do the same even if it is within our brain, we view (what we can remember) to do better the next time. We may view tactics, timing, angles, set up, clothing (tight pants limited kicks), Leather … Read more
Wonder why cops touch your car when they stop you. The second issue they mention about checking who is in back is something that happened here, as the Officer walked up (he stopped a truck with gang members) they kicked open the tailgate and shot him and he went down. They got out and he begged for his life and they shot him in the head. Later I had to transport them to court, I … Read more
Higher level thinking When someone asks what Martial Art do you study, “I study San Soo” you may smile and feel pride, but what have you told them, not much. Don’t you realize that every art teaches their form of San Soo at their highest teaching levels. All San Soo means is “full on fighting or combat”, what we leave out is what kind of San Soo is it. Jimmy wanted to separate our art … Read more

So you want to be a cop, really. If you hate bad words, don’t watch RG. Would you like to try to handle Jerks like this, when she had her hands in her purse and making threats, if she would have brought something out she might have been shot, Of course after acting like a animal she starts yelling that she can’t breath, I am sure that was the cops fault.

Shoot – don’t shoot Demonstration This is a good explanation regarding police shootings to let them see some of the truths about reality. Watch closely, see if you would shoot., he was already told not to move and keep his hands up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IoO5zdXXfA
Using one eye? I am sure when you read this, if you are not in tune you will think me crazy. When you are taught a skill you may try to make it better but when Jimmy taught you San Soo it was difficult to improve. Some things you can improve is when and how you use it and if he has not gone down what to do next. If your job is a dangerous … Read more
Bits and pieces! I will post some information of various Kung FU instructors and schools when he traveled China in search of our roots, I will try to present the ones that agree with what Jimmy taught. *Make sounds with movements. The emission of guttural sounds along with the expiration and the attack is a particular feature of the South styles Each style has its own peculiarities in this sense, but in general are used … Read more
This was posted in the wrong place so we moved it here as a “Post” Huang Wen Yu Nam Pai The school Huang Wen Yu Nam Pai Kung Fu is an example of a rich legacy of traditional Kung Fu southern China. The master Yu Wen Huang, founder of the Academy Nam Pai Kung Fu Tai Shan district in Guang Dong province, is one of the masters with highest recognition in martial arts strand of … Read more
(This post is from Master Gatewood:) Someone asked for a list of the verbal sounds for certain moves however I thought I would post the response so everyone can look them up. When I first saw the exact sounds in GM Doc Fai Wong’s book on Cho Li Fut I knew there had to be a connection. Right now I am pressed for time but I will have more to say later. The Video is … Read more
We have lost another San Soo warrior today! Master Larry Wikel laid down his sword today and passed on, we will miss him. He was surrounded by his family when he took his last peaceful breath. Rest in peace my brother.
Think this over! We have shared many things about San Soo that if I would not have stepped forward and addressed these issues you would have never known the real story or facts. I do not BS, I deal in fact. The family does not know, so ,they are stuck with stories that have no real basis. If they would like I am open to a public meet to debate of San Soo reality issues … Read more
