Publisher's Synopsis
Kung Fu San Soo represents one of the last authentic combat systems preserved from ancient China - a no-nonsense fighting art designed purely for survival. Unlike modern martial arts focused on sport or performance, San Soo's brutal efficiency was forged in village conflicts and clan warfare, where fights ended quickly and permanently. This book traces San Soo's secretive history from its origins in Southern China to its preservation in America by masters who refused to dilute its deadly techniques. Through firsthand accounts and practical analysis, it reveals why this nearly-lost art remains shockingly effective for real-world self-defense, examining its core philosophy of combat simplicity, its unconventional training methods, and how its pragmatic approach to violence still applies today. From empty-hand techniques to improvised weapons, San Soo's enduring power lies in its ruthless practicality - a raw combat system that values survival above all else.
