What does San Soo Mean?
Category: General Discussion
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.

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.

Really facinating info, I was a backyard student of a Frank Woolsey Black belt in the early 70’s, I was taught the Ah Soo, Fut ga ,Choy li ho, and some ” Numpi”. I broke away from that teacher and began studying at JHW associate school in Long Beach, CA under Sifu Bill Hallowell. The lessons were quite different, but he allowed me to retain my Brown belt that I had earned in my 2yrs of study🙏 I was saddened when SIFU Bill had to close his doors. Never continued my study to earn my Black belt, but have taken the time to study Filipino, Malaysian, boxing, etc. Kung Fu San Soo is still my roots and base. Grateful for Grandmaster Woo and all my teachers from many lands. Thank you !
