Before you say this is magic voodoo, it is very scientific and spans to many areas of life. It functions on it’s own and programmed into your mind from past experiences. It is an alarm that wants to warn of danger and sometimes acts on its own to protect you. I can guarantee it has saved you from injury, maybe even death when it acts. If I walk into your house and throw a ball

I was looking for a subject and came across Bill Vigil performing one of my favorite wrist locks which I have used many times while taking someone into custody, it never let me down. Bill does it perfectly so I will borrow it rather the redo it. His explanation is sound, I will add a personal preference of how the pain is created. The cross wrist grab is neutralized when you place your hand over

While investigating in China, Amar located the existing Choy Li Fut school which was Jimmy H Woo’s School. It has relocated since the original Monastery was destroyed and burned. We were able to find Jimmy’s Cousin, Chan Sai Mo who was was the Son of Chan Siu Hung who was the man who trained Jimmy H Woo, he was then in his late 90s but has since passed away. They were boyhood friends and he

If you asked which is more important I would say both however if I had to choose one it would be sensing with feel. Remember when we first heard about Martial Arts we were told it is about turning the other guys strength and energy back using it on him. How many of you really practice that, I usually see puffed up cocky chests out on the floor. I am not sure why but many

I would say no, the only time you would have any pre-fight plan is judging the threat, how many folks you have to fight or how to set them up. Jimmy would say, “let your mind use your body” which few understood at first but the more you fought the better you understood, it is very scientific. To understand how the brain works, we can break it down to “brain dominance” which directs your whole

Each time I write a new article I think about posts I have written along with others years ago that have much (maybe forgotten info) that go into the subject even deeper. Many of these sites are disappearing, I have decided to search them out to add information to the articles so newer students will better understand what the advanced students have been taught. You must consider myself and others believed the history and some

Chris Jones the Son of Master Greg Jones was killed in a motorcycle accident while off duty. He was a Deputy for the Wheeler County Sheriff’s Office in Oregon. We have also included the Go Fund Me account to help the family recover in their time of grief. Here is also a link which gives details of the incident. https://www.ktvz.com/news/madras-man-killed-in-wheeler-county-motorcycle-crash/1098834906 Rest in peace Brother both in San Soo and Fellow Peace Officer.

OK, I can hear it already, “this is a San Soo site, this is from another Art”. There are somethings that are universal that transcend all Arts maybe with a slight twist. But to me slipping is slipping and this guy has proven to me he is very good at it. I don’t think he is teaching an Art, so far he has stock to superior evasion and general strikes. So to the guys out

Not much, really, generally it means fighting. Kung Fu San Soo means Kung Fu for fighting, even when we found Jimmy’s school in China they could not figure out why he used those words for the name of his Art. His first Art was Choy Li Fut which are 3 of the characters on our belts, with (Hung for power/strength, not the Hung Ga family) and Fut to honor Buddha. Why he used Kung Fu

Master Lee Merrill’s sons were involved in a horrific accident. Please help out if you can.

I am very disappointed when I hear students say Kung Fu San Soo is very limited so I am going to leave it and find other arts so I can compete with anyone. They refuse to understand our art is very complex however they have not entered the the mind portion of San Soo as taught by Grand Master Woo. They say “I learned San Soo from “Goody Two Shoes, you think you are superior

That is something only you will have to find out, we all wonder about things from time to time. Even young cops have never fought in their life and they fear the time they have to prove themselves. I had a partner who told me he was afraid of how he would react when action comes. Actually he was 6ft 4in and most people feared him, we worked the high crime areas and he engaged

If you have never boxed than you probably never experienced a guy who can do this but it is very few that can. It really has no specific Art but is attached to the person that has perfected the movement, in boxing they call it, “bob and weave”. The closest technique we have in San Soo is the Nam Pi movement when we look totally relaxed and the guy attacks. You do not block, you

The absolute foundation of San Soo yet few practice it and many do not know how and much worse, few care. Many demonstrate how they understand the horses but why don’t we learn from the man himself, we can. I am posting a video from YouTube, they were preparing for the 84 demonstration and met at Bob Estrada’s studio. I will breakdown some important points that you may miss on the video if you were
