Blast from the past: From The San Soo Journal – Winter 1995 Edition How To Eliminate Boredom In Your Workout Most people think that when they start learning Kung Fu (or just about anything) they steadily progress until they become a Master. We learn new things until we reach a plateau and we tend to stagnate and remain at about the same skill level doing the same techniques over and over. You may first use

What do you see before a fight? Most of you guys just read and never say a word. Since our goal is to preserve Jimmy’s Art for future generations we need to create documents that can be passed on. When you are in a nose to nose with someone and you are not sure if he will attack. Most people miss the cues his body will send out, they can be very telling and helpful

Think about this! Why would an instructor want to stop you from seeking more real knowledge. Why would they tell you not to read our book, get video’s of Jimmy himself telling us about the art, showing his techniques, teaching confidence, etc. There must be a reason, something to hide, things he should not have taught or made up, a weird mixture of arts, I don’t know. He is always welcome to address his concerns

A personal note from Ernest, the creator of this page, about this page, and what I need from you. A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to talk Master Ron Gatewood to come online and start sharing with us what he learned and documented from Grandmaster Woo. There are people with stories (which I grew up with and love) but no one has anywhere near the amount of material and videos that Ron has.

Become an actor that can send strong vibs to control situations! Jimmy would call it a “strong look”, if you got one of those he could melt your soul. Bad guys develop skills also and learn to control situations of the people to get what they want. I know of situations where a guy passed over several women waiting for just the right one to attack. He judged by the lack of confidence, the walk,

Where are we going with San Soo information? There are many things I want to address here but it is getting late and I am very tired and low on energy. I have been working on the vids every night till about 1 or 2 am and Barbara puts in many hours on her portion. We are spending most of the day hours preparing for the coming fire season, if I lose another house that

You can help spread San Soo! Sometimes I get tired of talking to myself on line, waiting for someone to post something real, ask a question, or suggest an idea. We get a few likes and once in a while we get a couple of posts. A few got a couple tapes periodically however are main support comes from about 8 people. I look at many San Soo sites and most are filled with the

What Jimmy really said and we did not understand! As I separate out the video’s I see what I missed and some of the treasures that have been overlooked and how this info was overlooked. Americans have the tendency to take other peoples treasures with the attitude of “I don’t want to learn this other crap, just teach me to fight”. I know, as a young man I felt the same way, but as I

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

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

This Magazine is probably older than many of you! Not older than Ron though! haha If you want a great article about San Soo to add to your library you have to have this magazine. You get Jimmy H Woo, Bernie Woo, Bill Lasiter and Gerald Okamura all in one magazine. You can purchase it via the box below for $25 plus flat rate shipping of $7.40. He has a couple copies but I know

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
