Background information and philosopy of Kung-Fu San Soo.
Master Greg Jones has a very solid and deep understanding of kung-fu san soo. It is evident in this well written and very articulate book on one of the most devastating martial arts currently taught to the public. Master Greg Jones ability to translate what he learned from the late Master Al Rubin into words is testimony to his knowledgable and extremely compentent training. This book will give the uninitiated to kung-fu san soo an excellent starting point on the art. This book is extremely useful for long time, experienced students of the art as a review and referrence manual. I bought this book in 1988 when it first came out, and have since read it five times. An excellent resource on the martial art of Kung-Fu San Soo!

Practical Assessment of Traditional Methods...
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.
