| Many martial arts styles are powerful and fast, and very effective for fighting. Kung Fu San Soo is among those styles, and may be considered the best. Throughout the years, different martial arts styles have been made popular by superstars such as Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li,
... the list goes on. The untold story behind these famous people is the reality of fighting.
Fighting is ugly and does not always involve a flying crescent moon kick, or a spinning dragon claw strike. Fancy moves are more for show than for the street. For that reason, there was a general movement in the late 60's among the martial arts world to get back to the essence of martial arts: the ability to win a fight as quickly and easily as possible.
One style that emerged as a manifestation of this movements is the
style we now call Kung Fu San Soo. The techniques are designed to end
a fight quickly, using efficiency rather than brute force or acrobatic
movements.
In fact, because of the strict combative nature of this style,
there are no tournaments. The style is derived from styles practiced
in Canton, China. The roots of all Kung Fu Styles go back thousands of
years to the Shaolin monks, the creators of Kung Fu San Soo is a close
match to the Shaolin styles taught in China today. |
