This book contains 25 San Soo Forms that were taught by Grand Master Jimmy H. Woo to Master Ron Gatewood and then carefully recorded by Master Barbara J. Wallace. These are the author's original hand-written forms that explain the transitional movements, the hand positions, the types of strikes, and the foot locations for each movement. All 26 form movements are presented with a written description, line drawing, and foot location diagram. The author makes no claim to being an artist but the line drawings clearly demonstrate the movement and positioning of the hands, feet, and body.
Barbara Wallace has studied Kung Fu San Soo with Master Gatewood since 1978. She diligently recorded all lessons and forms she was taught and these forms are no exception. Learning these forms will improve your balance and fluidity and make you a better fighter because you move properly and with purpose. The San Soo Forms are an integral portion of the Art.

Hard to find, buy now!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kung Fu San Soo Fighting Forms, Book 1 (Book 1) (Spiral-bound)
You would probably only search for this if you were already familiar with San Soo. San Soo is an incredible fighting system with a small but devoted following. Unlike Taekwondo, Karate, Kenpo et et, there are very few resources out there and sooner or later there wont be any. If you study the art of Jimmy Woo, Buy this book right now! Seller is very nice and shipping was perfect and extremely fast (one day in my case)..

This review is from: Kung Fu San Soo Fighting Forms, Book 1 (Book 1) (Spiral-bound)
I have a black belt in Karate and have purchased many kata books for Karate over the years and I can tell you that Barbara Wallace's San Soo Forms book runs circles around them all!! I have never seen a forms book which was so complete! The explanations are superb. it's almost like being in a dojo and having the sensei talking to you!
It is too bad there are only 25 forms in the book! It is well worth the money!! Be warned this is NOT a "How To" book, but a book on forms, and so is more useful for some one already experienced in martial arts or taking San Soo in a school. But for anyone interested in San Soo get this book.

You will need experience in Kung Fu San Soo to understand these forms but I wholeheartedly support Barbara in her fine work. She has an amazing knowledge of this art and she has done a fine job of breaking down forms used in our schools worldwide.
Enjoy!
