HISTORY OF KUNG - FU SAN SOO

San Soo refers to the "action" of the ancient Chinese art of "Tsoi-Li-Ho-Fut-Hung." This legendary and devastating system was brought to the United States through Chin Siu Dek from Pon Hong, Guangdong Province in Southern China. Chin Siu Dek changed his name to Jimmy H. Woo upon arriving in the United States in 1935.

San Soo is not a sport, but a fighting art which
dates back to the early 1700's in the Chin family in Southern China. The history
of the art of San Soo in the Chin family started with Jimmy's Great, Great,
Great Grandfather who was the Monk, Leong Kick in the Kwan – Yin Monastery.
It was then passed on to his Great, Great Grandfather Chin Moon Don. It was
then passed on to his Great Grandfather Chin Siu Don, and then to his great
Uncle Chin Siu Hung. Chin Siu Dek (Jimmy H. Woo) came into possession of the
monastery training texts comprised of two books which are approximately 500
years old at the death of Chin Siu Hung when the Japanese invaded China. Chin
Siu Dek was and will be the only Grand master in the art of Kung- Fu San Soo.
