Summary: your Tiger and Dragon within
Review: Imagine the explosive power of a predatory beast! A lioness, say, or a cheetah or wolf. It has to swiftly take down its prey, often larger than itself, usually on the run. It instinctively knows its prey's vulnerable points and just where and how to strike them. Kung Fu San Soo is a predatory fighting system with no sporting application. There are no tournaments or "sparring", just devastating self-defense. It won't turn you into a predator, but it can give you the the instinctive reactions and capabilities of one! Like the tiger, the San Soo fighter takes down and destroys his opponant in three to seven seconds. I've had Master Jones' book for a long time, and enjoy reading it for his witty writing and sound technique. But a recent event compels me to share it with others: several months ago, while home alone, I experienced a "home invasion". The young tweeker smashed through our security screen-door, yelling and cursing in an attempt to intimidate his victim. Boy, did he ever choose the wrong one! Two principles of San Soo, as instructed by Master Jones, are never let an opponant intimidate you or get his hands on you. Never be the prey! Become the Predator! In an instant, I had lunged off the couch and attacked him, roaring like a lioness. How dare he break into my living room and terrorize my cats! He screamed and fled in a panic. I chased him out of the house and to the end of the driveway, roaring so loudly I tore my vocal chords. My invader probably never realized his pursuer was a 50-year-old woman; what he perceived was a TIGER coming at him! This is how San Soo can unleash your own Inner Beast when you most need protection. In many cases, as in this one, you may not even have to fight; your predatory ferocity might be enough. But do understand that the fighting techniques are brutal, and wreak swift "carnivorous" carnage. As Master Jones writes: better to him than to you! This was not the only time San Soo has prevented me from being hurt -- maybe this time it even saved my life! Obviously no book can provide the skill obtained by practice. But "The Inner Beast of San Soo" might convince you to give predator training a "fighting chance"!

Summary: Not As Advertised
Review: One thing you are trying to learn as a martial artist, is the ability to turn your "inner beast" back on. Civilization has put a big onus on not losing your temper, staying cool, to the point that most individuals attending self-defesense classes don't have the ability to "turn it on" at will while staying in control of themselves. They are poorly served by classes that only rely on "technique" and that do not teach the real essentials of combat.

Therefore, a book that is titled "The Inner Beast Of San Soo" and then fails to give a "how to" account of this essential part of selfdefense, is misleading it's readers.

In fact, when it comes down to it, the author implicity states - I'm not going to tell you! Work and "it will come to your". Well that's not why I forked over $14.96.

To quote from the chapter Calling Up The Beast Within: "We truly are the total sum of every decision we've ever made. And when you decide to feed the beast [what with?] and make it grow, _it will grow_! When you decide to slumber and live the life of ease and look for someone else to protect you, the beast will wander and hybernate. You can have a ferocious power in your hands that will protect you always. Decide now to master the beast. Believe now, and it will happen!"

Wow. Gee, thanks, master Greg. HOW ABOUT SOME _HOW-TO EXERCISES_??

This is just total filler. What you're left with is a couple of photographs with some generic self-defense scenarios that can be found better in any book on Kenpo Karate.

What a waste.

Summary: The psychology of Kung-Fu San Soo
Review: This is the second book written by Master Greg Jones on the devastating martial art called Kung-Fu San Soo. The book goes deep into the psychology of Kung-Fu San Soo, called Fut Ga by the practitioners of the art. This is a no non-sense approach to fighting. It deals with the kill or be killed reality of the mean streets. This book covers a wide range of options dealing with street survival. It covers how to deal with weapons, multiple attackers, and how to destroy any would-be criminal or thug that stands in your way and would try to do you harm. I first bought this book in 1993 when it came out, and have since read it three times. An excellent resource for beginners and for advanced students as well. A good read for those wanting to learn more about the ruthless mind-set of Kung-Fu San Soo.
