In addition to pigeons, my other love is martial arts. I've trained in Kung Fu San Soo since about 1975. San Soo is a fighting art. It is the fighting techniques of a Shaolin five family system (Tsoi - Li - Hoi - Fut - Hung) and it was brought to America by Jimmy H. Woo ( Chin Siu Dek ). He began teaching non-Chinese in El Monte California in 1959 and my instructor, Bill Lasiter, trained with him.San Soo is not a sport. You normally won't see a San Soo practitioner in any tournament. San Soo is a brutal and devastating art used only for self-defense and body conditioning. Remember though, while the art may be brutal, the people who practice it, of all ages and from all walks of life, are almost invariably among the nicest around.
Below are links to some San Soo schools as well as links to sites that aren't San Soo but which I like for one reason or another. I've never been to some of these schools and this information is linked only for your convenience if you're interested in surfing their sites or checking them out personally.
