Hello Everyone,

I've made it a point on this blog that there are Kung Fu San Soo teachers that incorporate BJJ, Kickboxing, etc. (and other styles recommended on this blog) into their teaching at their school.  It's mostly the new generation masters that are doing it while the remaining old school generation (1st generation masters and a lot of 2nd generation) keep Kung Fu San Soo "pure" and just teach Kung Fu San Soo as Jimmy H. Woo would want to happen.

I've also talked about another point which I want to dedicate a post on the blog too.  Which is if Kung Fu San Soo was an effective fighting style then why the hell would you incorporate other striking styles with it?!? For example, taking kickboxing or Muay Thai and incorporating Kung Fu San Soo with it.  The answer is that Kung Fu San Soo is not a good striking style and needs Muay Thai or Kickboxing, etc.  

I can tell you right now, there are no REAL Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing, etc. gyms and/or teachers seeking out Kung Fu San Soo to incorporate with Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing, etc.

I spoke to a guy that studies a fighting style recommended on this blog and he never studied any other martial art before he started training.  I asked him if he would study any of the traditional martial arts like Kung Fu San Soo after I exposed him to it (through youtube videos) and he immediately stated "no!"  He knows what he trains in is far superior than Kung Fu San Soo!

Are people beating down the doors of Kung Fu San Soo schools to incorporate in their curriculum?  Nope.

This also supports another argument which is that a person that studies a fighting style recommended on this blog (preferably study a striking style AND a grappling style on this blog to be covered in all aspects of fighting) does not gain anything by seeking out and studying under a Kung Fu San Soo teacher!  The reason...Kung Fu San Soo teachers don't really have nothing to offer in terms of knowledge that a person that studies a fighting style recommended on this blog wouldn't already know or can already get by studying under a teacher of a fighting style on this blog.

I can tell you right now from my experience that I would never study or seek out the knowledge from another Kung Fu San Soo teacher when I have more than a handful of teachers of the fighting styles recommended on this blog that have been in real fights and proved their skill in the ring and/or cage!  I can get the answers to self-defense, physical fitness, etc. from people who have proved themselves instead of people that "played fight" for the title of "master."
