The
History of Kung Fu San Soo
Ancient
Chinese Martial Arts written in Chinese history for over 5,000 years.
Refined in Chinese temples over the last 2,000 years. Concepts were
taught in the Chin family of Toi San, China for over 200 years, and
were brought to the United States in the 1930's by Lo Si Fu (Grand
Master). Chin Siu Dek, a martial art of scientific principles of physics
and leverage, teaches all ranges of combat from punching, kicking,
throwing, locking, and striking. Attacks are aimed at sensitive areas
of the body and are taught to be delivered with the entire body force.
Techniques are not legal in any type of competition, but taught to
elite fighting units, ideal for self defense and physical fitness,
great for stress reduction, as well as teaching different philosophies
and historical Chinese terms.
Si
Fu Akers has known Grand Master Woo since the 1950's before he began
teaching non-Chinese people. His mother worked at the same market
as Grand Master Woo. Master Akers is fiercely loyal to his Grand Master.
Quote "I am completely and totally dedicated to Chin Lo Si Fu
and San Soo".
There was a disciple of the famous Chinese Master Wong Fae Hong who
refused to change anything about his Master's art. The Chinese called
him "old square mind". Si Fu Akers is the "old square
mind" of San Soo. He insists that his students call Grand Master
"Lo Si Fu" and encourages all San Soo schools to do the
same, out of respect and tradition.
He strives to teach the traditional Chinese martial art way. He requires
students to learn what the terms mean and how to write, read and understand
the Chinese calligraphy of San Soo. He has his students study martial
arts history and Chinese philosophy.
He had the first non-Chinese Lion dancing team in the U.S. Quote,"
Chin Lo Si Fu loved and taught Lion dancing and so do I".
Sifu Akers is known to be stubborn and bullheaded when it comes to
Lo Si Fu or San Soo. But, everyone who knows him understands his love
for the art. His motto is "There is no San Soo without Chin Lo
Si Fu!"
