We will miss Bill Lasiter he was a legend amongst the San Soo community, he was respected, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, it was hard to ever get angry about anything he did, just go ask him and he would explain. He was Jimmy’s spokes person, always holding the microphone at Jimmy’s demonstrations and explaining things or introducing the next event. He was fast, moved with intent and a pleasure to watch in action. I am sure
Some of Jimmy’s village/family history, a few may have seem it, you can copy and save it. Not sure why Jimmy is not ahead of Tom Akers, he is not in other linage charts because he left China at a young age. http://www.taishan.com/english/research/jimmywoo/2003trip/index.htm http://www.taishan.com/english/research/jimmywoo/tree/tree.htm

It is time to address the made up 45 techniques that advanced Masters are passing off as the real 45 lessons that Jimmy Woo gave his first students.

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
Just found out about Grand Master Bill Lasiter’s passing. Very sad news. Back in the mid 70s I was an awkward teen when I first met Bill. Joined up with his studio in the late 70s and through the years I grew from an awkward teen to a confident person and fighter. I earned my 4th degree black belt through Bill. He was certanly a great inspiration in my life as he was for others. Bill, you will always be my grand master!
Goodbye Bill
