That video contains footage of Jimmy H. Woo and Frank Woolsey demonstrating San Soo. Other than doing san soo forms, training with ancient Chinese weapons, and learning lessons with a partner this is the most active training you'll do in san soo which is practice techniques (that are very questionable) against a cooperative partner. Generally, san soo doesn't train on bags or pads or ever get to experience hitting something with full speed and power.
By watching that video how can any person say those techniques on that youtube video are going to work against a person who is determined to hurt you? For me it's simple, those techniques won't work! I swear all those takedowns or throws or sweeps would not work against a non-cooperative person. They certainly would not work against a person trained in the fighting styles recommended on this blog. How do I know this, because I know through experience training realistically and anyone who is honest and trains realistically will say it too.
If I was to do the exact techniques and movement in the octagon at a UFC event or in the ring at Lumpinee Stadium or a cage at an MMA event or a ring at a kickboxing promotion I would get killed! Let's say I was to demonstrate kung fu san soo techniques like you saw in the video to any group of real fighters do you think they're going to take me serious? They would laugh their asses off or challenge me right there!
Even the 2nd or 3rd generation kung fu san soo schools don't train or offer anything better. I truly believe people can easily be distorted from reality by training in the environment that san soo creates. It's sad and I hope innocent people that are good at heart don't find themselves in a bad situation.
