“By learning how to fight, you learn how not to fight.”
San Soo is a southern style of Kung Fu that originated in Kwan Yin Monastery in Guandong Province in China during the 1700s. It is
a pure fighting style. San Soo techniques are based on a combination of punches, kicks, strikes, and blocks done in perfect rhythm and
directed to vital points of the body.
A San Soo student develops agility, balance, confidence in one’s self, self-discipline, and strong respect for others. Practitioners of San
Soo do not rely on muscle strength. Instead, the student learns how to use their complete and total body weight to offset their attacker’s
balance.
San Soo utilizes the hard and soft, linear and circular, internal and external, mental and physical. Techniques learned in San Soo can be
changed instantly to suit the situation and do not necessarily follow a set pattern. A student of San Soo also learns how the organs,
organic systems, nerves and skeletal frame are situated in the human body to make various strike points easier.
Practice of San Soo does not limit oneself by specializing in one concept. It is a well balance style in all aspect of combat. San Soo is not
a sport and must be used only in life threatening situation.
