This would be news to Chin Siu Dek (Jimmy Woo). But of course he's dead so why would he give a ****? You really should talk about **** you know something about.
Don't worry. The closest he'll get to San Soo is judging someone's videos... and this board, of course.
What a ridiculously absurd blanket statement.it's not *my* opinion. it's the opinion of almost everyone in the cma community that san soo was not, is not, and will not ever be part of cma because it has no real lineage and no connection to china.
Here is an old vid of my teacher's teacher Papak Guru Rudy Terlinden. You old time San Soo folks may have heard of him, he spend a bit of time training with GM Jimmy Woo. His Silat has alot of those San Soo power strikes and the low line kicks. One of his students is first, Guru Rudy shows up about 1:00
You know, I think many people have disparaging things to say about Kung Fu San Soo because many San Soo folks wear a Japanese-style Budogi as opposed to CMA style uniforms. Though, I've seen some old San Soo folks working out hard & wearing traditional Chinese uniforms and I thought,"Wow, that's some really good looking Kung Fu combat!"
