kUNG fU San Soo

A pure Chinese fighting art that has few equals

To have an understanding of Kung Fu San Soo it must first be stated it is not a sport. It is a combat art tested throughout history for the express purpose of defending one's life by whatever means neccessary.

The art is loosely defined as the complete use of a man's hands in combat. The art's effectivenes and lack of rule structure has inspired Inside Kung Fu Magazine to refer to it as "Legendary and Devastating... A pure Chinese fighting art that has few equals" in December of 1999.

In its purest form it has been banned from sport competitions due to its lack of rule structure and aggressive techniques.

Though there are trends to try to adapt it to current MMA rules and regulations by some, our Grandmaster, Jimmy H. Woo did not feel the art could be used to it's fullest potential in these environments.

It is truly an art for combat and self defense. Kung Fu San Soo is a martial art that incorporates principles of leverage, movement, physics, proper breathing and psychology to create a powerful and effective fighter.

There are no animal imitations and feats of strength such as board breaking. Kung Fu San Soo practitioners are taught to respect life and the damage an expereinced practitioner can inflict.

Our Grandmaster, Jimmy H. Woo, is quoted in several sources as saying "the art of Kung Fu San Soo lies not in victory or defeat but in the building of human character".
