Details:	Master Lawrence Rouse has been teaching the art of Kung-Fu San Soo since 1975 to both adults and children. He has two locations available for training, one in Van Nuys and one in Playa Vista for all who wish to learn the art of San Soo. With much dedication and discipline Master Rouse received his Masters in 1997 from Sifu Larry Wikel. Since then, he has made it his mission to pass on the the principles and foundation of the art the way that Grand master Woo taught it. Kung-Fu San Soo is not a sport, but a fighting art which dates back to the early 1700's developed by the Chin family in Southern China. Jimmy H. Woo introduced the art of San Soo to the United States and is considered THE Grand Master in the art of Kung-Fu San Soo. San Soo is not a limiting art, in fact it is encouraged to expand yourself both in technique and psychologically in order to fully understand the art of San Soo. The art of San Soo teaches you how to manipulate the skeletal structure and the muscular anatomy with less physical strength and effort but yet, causing more damage to the attacker. The concept is to disable your opponent as quickly as possible in order to minimize any damage or harm to yourself, especially if there is more then one attacker. Students are taught to use their full body weight when striking an opponent. For example, a female that weighs 130 pounds will learn to strike using the full force of 130 pounds as opposed to just using the force of a regular punch or kick. Just imagine a punch or a kick that has the force of 130 pounds. That is why, with San Soo, the size and weight of the person is not important when it comes to defending oneself. The philosophy of the art of San Soo is to either win a confrontation at any cost, or avoid fighting altogether. The idea is to not give an attacker the chance to strike but instead stop him before he can do so. The main elements of a San Soo workout consists of two things: action and reaction. When training, one student will attack while the other will react as if each strike were real. Through this method a student can understand how a person will react when hit in a specific spot. This gives the student the advantage of knowing where to strike next based on the person's reaction. By practicing reactions it will teach the student how to minimize the impact of a surprise attack. Each martial arts instructor uses their own personal experiences in life combined with the base learning they received by their instructors to teach the art. Because of this, every school is different in their approach to teaching the art of Kung-Fu San Soo. Our mission at Kung Fu San Soo LA is to influence and strengthen people's lives with the positive benefits of martial arts training. Master Rouse helps to empower his students in becoming well rounded, versatile, and open minded individuals. These traits help to empower students on the mat as well as in life.
