    • Don’t Box a Boxer – Sports Don’t Survive on the Street March 10, 2010
      There is a saying in the Kung Fu San Soo world that goes something like this, "don't box a boxer, and don't wrestle a wrestler." What this means simply is to fight the way you've been trained to fight. And, fight by the rules that you've been trained to fight with, which are no rules. […]

Oldest san soo master in U.S. attends seminar

August 20, 2009

Well the  annual seminar for 2009 is over.  I am working now on getting out the written lessons that I taught to everyone who attended.   It will take a little time but I will email you all a copy.  If you dont think I have your email, please email it to me so you dont miss out.  If you missed the seminar this year, hopefully we can do it again next year.

We had some surprise visits from some old students.  My old friend and partner Stan Diendorf made an appearance with his kids.  It was very nice seeing him again.  Some old black belts also surprised us with a visit.  I think the most surprising of all though was Neil Savoy.  Neil signed up with me at the age of 60 years old.  He had to quit at age 74 because of a skin condition.  He was promoted  to Master of san soo a couple of years earlier.

My wife and I, on occasion, would talk about him and I have mentioned him to many of my students.  I had no idea he was still alive so it was quite a surprise to see him walk through my doors.  He is 95 years old now.  I believe he is the oldest san soo master alive today in the United States and probably in the world.  If any of you know of someone older please let me know.

It was great to see all of you who attended and I want to personally thank you for showing up.  Many of you traveled from out of state at great expense so special thanks to you all as well.  And to you Master Neil,  I hope to see you soon as well.

    It was a pleasure for me to have attended your seminar again this year. Every year I have been now has helped tremendously. My speed, accuracy, flow of body movements; just about everything I have learned improves when I have you in person to fine tune what I do.

    Thank you for all you have done in contributing to San Soo and for being their when no one else tried.

    Master Neil Savoy, it was a great pleasure to meet you also. My hats off to a man who started at the age of 60. This goes to prove that you are only as old as you think you are. So I’m never going to age!!!!

    Master Hulsey I love the video Blogs. They are wonderful!

    God Bless!
