Product Description
The best way to survive a streetfight is to end it before it starts, and that is the essence of san soo kung fu to brutally take your opponent out before he gets a chance to attack! When some street thug intends to do you bodily harm, it is not the time to pull punches. So be sudden! Be violent! And win.

I am currently a Green Belt studying San Soo Kung Fu in Huntsville, Texas. This book is an amplified version of everything I have learned so far, and then some. The insight and techniques given in this book can be directly applied to any self defense situation.
I highly recommend both books by this author,though they are not the type of books to be left lying around for just anyone to read.

Practical Assessment of Traditional Methods... December 22, 2002
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
Author Greg Jones presents the style of Jimmy Woo (not to be confused with James Wing Woo) in a practical and complete light. A brief history of Jimmy Woo's San Soo Kung Fu is offered, with indepth handling of topics such as striking, leverage, balance, etc. There is a lot of writing in this book, it is not a picture how-to book. You will find a detailed explanation of how to understand why these methods work. Jones offers detailed reasoning behind all of the major theories of San Soo, and professionally shot photos give examples which help explain concepts. Jimmy Woo's San Soo is a descendent of Choi Li Fut kung fu, stripped down to its most practical elements. Woo was a strong believer in using what was effective and winning the battle without delay. Jones does an excellent job of explaining that message to those of us who haven't studied Woo's San Soo Kung Fu but would like to understand the concepts of the art and gain an insight into how a fighter and survivor like Jimmy Woo thought.

It is a book that is barbaric Judo. It does not get intermediate or advanced, it is a bigginer Judo book with no technique. Little can be learned from this except how to injure a groin or poke out eyes.
FANTASTIC BOOK!! But please don't buy it March 24, 2001

Wow, this book is awesome. If you want to learn how to injure someone fast and efficient then buy this book. I'm glad that not a lot of people know about this style of kung-fu because then everybody on the streets would be deadly. So please don't buy this book and leave me, and me alone, with this priceless knowledge of how to inflict excruciating pain with minimal force.
