Hello Everyone,

The fighting styles recommended on this blog really do teach effective, efficient, and practical self-defense, physical fitness, and mental strength far better than traditional martial arts like Kung Fu San Soo.

After my experience in Kung Fu San Soo and going into Muay Thai I realized how I was at a disadvantage studying an inferior art like Kung Fu San Soo.  The fighting styles recommended on this blog are so good that fights take place between the styles (people like to see which ones are better).  For example, China sends Sanda fighters to fight Muay Thai fighters.  I must admit that Chinese Sanda (San Shou) has been the one martial art to not only hold ground against Muay Thai, but take ground away (Cung Le and the other San Shou fighters in America helped prove it in the 90's and early 2000's).

Another, is Japanese Shootboxing going against Chinese Sanda (example below):

Another is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu vs Wrestling or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu vs Judo (example below):

The point of this post is that more types of matches between these superior fighting styles will continue in the future and it will be debated on which ones are superior (usually the conclusion is to blend them together such as striking style and grappling style to make a complete style).

However, what will not occur is traditional styles like Kung Fu San Soo going against these styles recommended on the blog because it's pretty much set in stone that Kung Fu San Soo is the inferior style of just "play fighting" and doesn't stand a chance against well trained REAL fighters.

Think of San Soo's history:

1) John Marsh (BJJ, Boxing, Wrestling) vs Sean Scott (Kung Fu San Soo) - Marsh won and broke Sean Scott's arm!

2) Vitor Belfort (BJJ and Judo) vs Jon Hess (Kung Fu San Soo) - Hess lost bad!

3) Frank Hammaker (Sambo) vs Thaddeus Luster (Kung Fu San Soo) - Luster lost bad too!

*Certain members of the Kung Fu San Soo community made up a story that 5 San Soo guys were going to fight Muay Thai fighters, but the Thai's backed out.  I've already discussed the article written by a San Soo guy who tells the story, but I have no doubt it's a lie and other San Soo guys have admitted it's a lie made up by San Soo masters.  The Thai fighters have a history of never backing down from a fight challenge and sure as hell wouldn't back down from Kung Fu San Soo crap!  Message to all Kung Fu San Soo guys, if you want to prove me wrong go to Thailand or your local Muay Thai gym and make a challenge!

*On the old blog there was a person who informed me of an event that occurred in Culver City, CA 1975 (I did some research and I think it took place in May 1975) that 5 San Soo guys under Kung Fu San Soo master Larry Wikel fought 5 Kickboxers/Boxers and lost with 3 of the San Soo guys getting knocked out!  The person told me he was there and I'm researching it now to find any more information.

Like I said before, Kung Fu San Soo can't hold ground in the long run vs the fighting styles recommended on this blog.
