Hi All,
If you have ever been in a street fight , you probably know that most street fighters
are "head hunters" that is they almost always try to hit you in the face or other area of
the head. Instead of standing in front of them and trying to punch it out with them,
try dropping down into a swat or on to one knee. This removes you from their attack
and they can't see you for a few seconds , now you can punch them in the groin ,(make sure
you are a little to one side by one of their legs ) so when they bend over from the groin
punch they don't land on top of you, now grab the leg closest to you and kick their other leg
out like doing a side kick except you are laying down or on one knee as you do it. This
makes them do the splits (spreads their legs beyond normal range) and tears muscles and
ligaments ,next push or roll on to the leg you are holding making them fall backward, get up and walk away.
Hope everyone had a Happy Holiday !!
Peace, Jerry

Defense : Wrestler Type Takedown
Hi All,
This technique deals with someone who is trying to take you down MMA style ,
so they can do the ground and pound on you ,(sit on your chest and punch down
on your face ) even though you can get him off by turning your head and biting
the inside of his leg,punching him in the groin ect. It's best not to get in to that
position at all .
Most of the time they will try to get you to raise your arms up by doing some
type of punch or upper body movement and then shoot in to take you down
by grabbing your legs.
You can defeat this by staying at your safe distance (just out of kicking range)
if they step in and raise their arms as if to punch ,front straight kick them in the groin
this should bend them over, step forward with your kicking leg and wrap your
arm around their neck and apply a forearm choke , now just streach your legs out
and lay your body on top of their head (you will both be laying flat on the ground,you on top)keeping the choke,you will be facing one way they will be facing
the other direction (their body----><-----your body) this technique is VERY Lethal
as there is not very much they can do to get out of it, just choke them into submission,
you can seriously injure some one with this.
There are many ways to do this technique this is just one of them.
Be very careful when practicing this one.

Technique for October
How to Push Someone Down with Attitude
This is a quick technique to move some one out of the way ,if you don't want to
fight them and they won't take "get out of my face "as a hint.
You are facing them and standing in a neutral stance, non threatening posture.
Keeping your safe distance from them.(just out of kicking range)
Put your hands up to chest level as if to reason with them,say " hey i don't want any trouble".
When they decide they want to get hurt and start moving toward you , close the distance on them by taking a quick step to their center line (middle of their body) .With your hands up to cover your face (you want to close the distance on them as they step forward ,before they can punch)take a big step between their legs with your strong side ,what you want to do is step through them, as you do this put your hand on their chest and extend your arm, this will push them off their feet and on to the ground hard !
Most of the time this will get your message across with out hurting them too badly.
This technique can be changed in an instant to various degrees of deadly,
you can open your hand and put it in their throat,you can punch to their nose,you can punch
2 in below their chest and knock the air out of them at the solar plexus,you can shin kick them
in the groin as you punch or push them down.
I was late this month with the technique so i thought i'd give you a little extra to work on.

Technique of The month
Hi All,
This technique is pretty basic,
Your opponent is throwing a straight left punch to your face,
from your safe distance(just outside the length of his leg) you are facing him as the punch approaches you turn sideways like a door opening and do a right down block ,hitting his arm
with the hard part of your arm just below the wrist let your hand slide down and catch his wrist
and hold,as you are doing this ,you do a right side kick to his ribs ,you still have hold of his wrist
so he can't move away from you. Now let go of his wrist as you do step down from doing the kick
and put your foot down so you are close to him squat down into a full horse and right backhand
his groin, this will bend him over putting him off balance,reach down with your right hand from the squatting position (full horse) grab the inside of his ankle and pull up and stand up at the same time
this will drop him on his back, keep hold of his ankle turn toward him and left stomp on his groin.
Be careful when practicing this technique you can easily break your partners ribs if you kick too
hard because your are holding him in one place he can't move away from the kick. Also make sure you and your partner know how to do a breakfall also so you don't hit your head on the take down.
Note:your turning , blocking ,grabbing his wrist and side kicking all at the same time, this should be one fluid movement , then do the rest of the technique.
Have fun, soon the techniques will be on video.

Kung Fu San Soo
Thought I would give you a little history about Kung Fu San Soo.
Kung Fu San Soo as loosely translated from Chinese to English means,
a man learned ,articulate and active in the use of his hands in hand to hand combat with another
man.
Since the Chinese monks that developed this fighting art kept knowledge of San Soo much to
themselves , the exact details of it's origin and development are obscure.
What we do know is that over 2300 yrs ago 5 families of monks combined their knowledge
and Kung Fu San Soo evolved into one of the first organized systems of hand to hand combat.
Each family developed a different part of the art.
They are,
* TSOI - Punching & Kicking
* LI - Leverage
* Hoi - Pressure Points
* Fut - Psychology
* Hung - Power
Kung Fu San Soo is not a sport. It is a fighting technique, based on a combination of strikes,
kicks, blocks and leverages done in a perfect rhythm.
The strikes are directed at the vital areas of the human body.
It's techniques can be changed instantly to suit any situation and do not follow a set pattern.
Principles of physics involving movement and leverage as well as intense concentration and controlled breathing give a San Soo fighter maximum power.
Self confidence , agility,balance,coordination,humility and respect of one's fellow man are also
emphasized.
Since you never know a persons character and who is a fighter and who is not,
you always respect everyone unless they give you a reason not to.
The techniques I put up on this site are Kung Fu San Soo , since you can change them to suit any situation there is no end to the techniques you can do, I have thousands of them written down
and more in books that are distributed by San Soo Associations around the world.
If you are looking for a total fighting art, this is it.
All of the lines of movement in my booklet ,The Use of Lines,Angles and Circles is Hand to Hand
Combat are used in San Soo and will work in almost any martial art.
If you would like a copy use the link on the right side of this page.

Multiple Opponents / Fight or Flight
When faced with more than one opponent , the normal reaction of most people is to
haul a** out of that situation ! That is the correct thing to do.
But sometimes you have no choice .
If you find yourself confronted by 2 or more persons that intend to do you harm, in most cases
the" baddest "of the group will be the first to approach. You drop him quick , without hesitation or mercy in front of the rest of the group so they have to go around or over him to get at you. A lot of the time this will be enough to make the rest hesitate long enough for you to get away.
But if not, you always want to keep who ever you are dealing with in between you and the rest of the group or if you have your hands busy use your legs,side kicks and front kicks are some of your more powerful weapons, groin shots ,knee breaks or rib shots are in order.
Improvised weapons , whatever is handy, rocks,dirt in the eyes, your key chain to the face,rolled up magazine ,pencil ,pen,book anything that's harder than skin can be used.
You use whatever is necessary to make sure you walk away !

Technique of The Month
Hi All,
Here is an interesting technique, this is in the wrist lock category.
Usually you will have to soften someone up to do a leverage wrist lock on them
but the way this one is done you don't need to strike them first. Because the wrist lock is the strike ! Here it is. Remember to be at your safe distance (just outside the length of their leg)
Your opponent throws a right punch at your face, you do a left out block and step on a 45 degree angle at the same time with your left foot. You are hitting their arm with the outside of your left arm just below the wrist,in a circular motion ,when your arm hits their arm let your hand slide down and grab their
wrist ,continuing the circular motion ,bring their hand up to your chest level,take your right hand and place it on top of their hand over the knuckles (your hand should be facing the same way as theirs covering it)hold their wrist tight and push down on their hand bending it(toward the ground),
this will drop them to their knees,then you right front knee or right straight kick to the solar plexus,(the soft spot 2 ins below their chest). You can follow up with other kicks or stomps because you will still have control of their hand by keeping the leverage on it.
Give this one a try. If you can't figure it out leave me a comment and i will get back to you.

Keep It Simple
Hi All,
When i was teaching Kung Fu,students would ask how to defend against someone grabbing your shirt with both hands and pushing you against a wall or something.
My reply was always do the simplest thing that comes to your mind .
Both of your attackers hands are full of your shirt, so you thumb both of his eyes,hammer fist his nose,plam both of his ears,knee or instep kick his groin. When you are in a stressful situation
your reaction should be automatic.In a real fight your technique does not have to look good it just has to work !!

Increase Your Punching Power
Hi All,
A few people have asked my to tell how to increase their punching power.
To punch with power is a combination of hand and body movement .
Your punching power really starts at your feet and travels up through your body
to your fist.
If you are throwing a right straight punch, you start by stepping forward with your right foot
as you do this you bring up your hands, (hands are open) now you must be close enough to punch through your target, your aim should be to the other side of the target. You close your hand at the very last moment before impact this propels your body weight forward,as you finish stepping bend your forward knee and drop your body weight and twist your hips into the direction of the punch and turn your back foot on to the ball, this tranfers all your body weight to your hand.
So you step,drop your body weight and twist at the waist,close your hand at the last moment and punch through the target.
A good way to practice and learn punching power is to study Bruce Lee's 1 in punch.
The body mechanics are perfect !

Technique of the Month -July 2007
Hi All,
Here is the technique for this month.
Opponent jabs at you with his left hand , his left foot is forward like a boxer.
You step to the right on a straight line with your right foot and strike his arm with a
left out block (moving your arm from your center out in a half circle) grab and hold
his forearm.Step forward toward him and strike with a right forearm to his ribs on his left side,
now let go of his arm and left roundhouse punch to his ribs (in front of his body),now right roundhouse punch to his left kidney (your palm facing down on this punch) now turn to your left and take a small step with your left foot and right side kick to the side of his left knee.
Pointers: When you take that small step with your left foot you slide your right foot till it
lines up with his left knee then do the sidekick.
If he punches with his left and puts his right foot forward (which alot of people do ) you just do a left sidekick to the back of his left knee, to finish.
Have Fun and Practice Safely !

Don't Defend, Attack !
Learn how to put any attacker down in seconds !
The basic principles in this report are used by many Elite troops all over the world.
By learning how to attack instead of defend you give yourself the advantage over anyone
stupid enough to attack you!
These methods are really very old. Don't pay hundreds of dollars for this information.
I've decided to release some of these closely guarded methods to you.
Through the years of training it became clear to me that there are certain basic lines of movement and what some people call the "offensive mind set" in Kung Fu and other martial arts.
The offensive mind set is really nothing new, but is not shown in a lot of self defense arts.
It is the way the techniques are set up that gives you the offensive mind set.
You practice the techniques until they become second nature and you practice
technique after technique .
Soon they will blend together in your head and it won't matter what you come up against
you'll have a learned response that is instant and deadly.
Kung Fu San Soo is a perfect example of how the offensive mind set works.
When someone throws a punch at you , your defense is to attack the arm with a strike and
by targeting certain parts of the arm, like where the nerves are.
Then you proceed to other vital targets on the body,throat,heart ,solar plexus,groin etc.
Now to apply the offensive techniques you have to know how to move in the right ways to set up the techniques.
The basic lines of movement are :
The Cross + Straight Lines
The Triangle V 45 Degree Angles
The Circle O Circular Movement
Knowing your safe distance from any opponent.
Here is an example of a offensive technique:
Say someone grabs your shirt with their left hand and is going to punch you with their right hand. Most people will try to get the hand that's grabbing them off. And they get hit !
Someone who is trained in the offensive mind set technique, will immediately grab the hand on their chest and hold it there as they step to the right on a 45 degree angle and strike the opponent in the throat with their left hand . By grabbing and holding the hand on your chest this takes a weapon away from the attacker, and restricts their movement,by stepping on a 45 degree angle to the right, this moves you away from the attackers right punch, striking to the throat, disables and stuns the opponent, setting them up for other strikes. As you can see this is all offense. And these principles can work in most martial arts.
I have written a report on how to apply the offensive -defense.
My booklet : The use of Lines,Angles and Circles in Hand to Hand Combat.
Comes:
Complete with 12 techniques to help you learn defense by offense.
These techniques will evolve into many techniques as you mix and match them.
*How to know your safe distance.
*Timing and closing the distance on your opponent to give you the advantage.
*Plus personal help from me via email
Myself and many others have used these principles in real fights , not just in the gym.
Believe me they work !!
But just like anything else you have to work at it, that means practice,practice ,practice !!
If you would like the report, send $8.75 US. by Paypal to :jgid2001@yahoo.com
Or you can go to http://stores.lulu.com/martialarts
and download a copy.
Put "offensive-defense" in the product line and I will email it out to you in PDF file.

Say someone grabs your shirt with their left hand and is going to punch you with their right hand. Most people will try to get the hand that's grabbing them off. And they get hit !
Someone who is trained in the offensive mind set technique, will immediately grab the hand on their chest and hold it there as they step to the right on a 45 degree angle and strike the opponent in the throat with their left hand . By grabbing and holding the hand on your chest this takes a weapon away from the attacker, and restricts their movement,by stepping on a 45 degree angle to the right, this moves you away from the attackers right punch, striking to the throat, disables and stuns the opponent, setting them up for other strikes. As you can see this is all offense. And these principles can work in most martial arts.
I have written a report on how to apply the offensive -defense.

These techniques will evolve into many techniques as you mix and match them.
It covers:
