Luke 22:36 - Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Just wanted to throw that in for you anti-martial arts jesus freaks.
Come on guys, give the kid a break.
If he wants to try and hook up here, it really isn’t nice to make fun of his attempt. Can you imagine the courage he has to draw up to post a message like this ?
Don’t laugh, if he is unsuccessful, it is more a tragedy than a comedy.
Kid, if you want better places to hook up with MA ladies, PM me and I will give you a better link.
Most of the female members here on KFM are already occupied
how many girls do you know who would actually hang out on a kungfu forum instead of chatting on the phone amongst themselves?
I don’t know any. I suspect his chances of meeting a girl on a kf forum is ZERO. [/B]
I don’t know about girls, but he can sure meet a lot of bitches here…
Yo, KFSSchaosmaster, I trained under Al Rubin in Riverside some <mumble> years ago… As I recall, only about 1 in 10 people who walk in off the street and train were female; San Soo looks pretty scary and only hardcore females were interested (yum! I married one.)
You might want to consider training in aikido in addition to San Soo. It *is a subcategory of fighting techniques, and tends to be about 50/50 male-female.
It’s a hard task you’ve picked for yourself… looking for a martial arts babe. But persevere; it’s worth it if you succeed. I’m a grandpa now, and my honey recently helped me pay for mats for the living room. She’s never asked for a matched dining room set, but she *has asked for fighting knives for Christmas and combs the web looking for interesting seminars for us to attend.
Our daughter trains with us now, too.
But I don’t think you want to ask on this forum. I mean, we live all over the world. Go to martial arts seminars and demos of other arts in the Riverside San-Berdoo area. Visit schools (but don’t tell them San Soo is better than their art (even though it is)). Can you take some classes in the local junior college or UCR? I met my lady in UCR while she was taking classes in karate and judo and aikido. Look around town - you’ll have better luck meeting a local gal locally than you will here.
Someone asked if san soo were an offspring of CLF…
From what I gather the person who brought san soo to the USA (Jimmy Woo) learned “San Soo” from his uncle. However, apparently his uncle was CLF person.
It would seem that San Soo may be a creation of Jimmy Woo himself, a combination of some of what he learned in CLF and his own street fighting experience.
The absence of san soo in China and any records of its existance make claims that San Soo was a 3 thousand year old battlefield martial art appear to be… false. Some inconsistancies with some material Jimmy Woo claimed to have taken with him to America also do not add anything to the art’s historical credibility… But even if it were created by the former grandmaster himself, or were truely a 5 thousand year old martial art doesn’t add or detract anything from what the art actually is… but it seems like a lot of martial art instructors (not just san soo) dwell too long on how old an art is, and the mystical and secretive ways of its founders when trying to sell people on their style, instead of what it actually offers.
When Jimmy Woo first started his school it was much more focused on strikes, kicks and conditioning (from what I understand from his students – I was not there), but became more focused on throws and leverages. Its quite apparent when comparing two Kung Fu San Soo schools together.
I personally no longer train San Soo because I feel it doesn’t teach very much in the way of actually fighting some one once the element of surprise is destroyed… especially since most of their schools do not even allow light sparring, but I still like to use some of the leverages and strikes, and I’m sure it can be a very unpleasant surprise to your opponent if you manage to catch them by surprise, buy could also be an upleasant surprise to a practitioner of the style if they developed a false sense of confidence through unrealistic instruction when faced with an actual fighter.
Anyway, I just wanted to respond to one of those posters above…
I’m a girl and I read these things. And I’m not *****y. That’s the problem with you stupid boys…nevermind. Luckily, I’m not in the market for religious guys.

Are you sure that you are a girl? We got one members here registered under a girl’s name. I seriously doubt there’s anyone with two x chromosomes hanging around this fourm.
The guy is a lot more cordial these day when he do post. So, there’s no need to “out” him. You won’t think he is a girl based on his old posts and he did come out in the open on a thread in the northern mantis forum saying it was all a psych. game. It was kind of funny because someone reposted his proclaimation on the main forum.
