Who is Ron Gatewood?

Ron Gatewood is one of the First Generation Kung Fu San Soo students and masters – He began studying with Grandmaster Woo in 1962 and continued training under him until his death in 1991.

Some of his background and expertise:

• • Retired Law Enforcement Officer
  • Polygraph Examiner
  • Private Investigator
  • Doctor of Clinical Hypnotherapy
  • Jury Selection Specialist
  • Interview/Interrogation Specialist
  • Non-Verbal Communication Expert
  • Neural Linguistic Programming (body language specialist)

Ron has studied this Art for over 50 years, his rank is 12 Year Master of Grandmaster Jimmy Haw Woo (birth name Chan Siu Dek) and he operated his Kung Fu San Soo school for over 30 years prior to retirement. There is only one student ranked higher in the system than him that was promoted by Grandmaster Woo. There are a few who started earlier than him but the rule was when you stopped training with Grandmaster your rank stopped and many did. At the time of Grandmaster’s death, Ron was a 12 year Master promoted by him and it is still his rank now, twenty-two years later.

Ron Gatewood has the skill to interview, gather evidence, sort fact from fiction (with a high rate of accuracy) and read the non-verbal cues to ascertain truthfulness of people he interviews. Ron gathered evidence as he would prepare a case for court and can assure you that he will continue to gather as many facts as he can so future generations will know what we have found.
