What They Teach
Kung Fu San Soo
A powerful self-defense system known for its “explosive” and direct techniques, San Soo focuses on:
- Control through leverage, not strength
- Fast and efficient strikes and takedowns
- Real-world application for dangerous encounters
This martial art uses body mechanics and center-of-gravity manipulation so even smaller individuals can overwhelm larger attackers — making it an ideal system for women and anyone seeking practical protection.
Programs & Training Options
- Adult Martial Arts – Build skills, confidence, and total-body fitness
