I began my training in 1971 at age 17 with Grand Master Jimmy H. Woo. I received my back belt in 1974 and then my Masters degree in January 1983. All my training was done at the El Monte School under the direction and guidance of Jimmy H. Woo. Like many of the other instructors who knew Jimmy, I too recognized there was something wonderful about him. From my first meeting with him I knew I was in the right art and definitely with the right instructor. Jimmy taught all of us how to become great fighters, but he also balanced that knowledge with the ramifications of loosing ones temper. It was my greatest honor to call Jimmy H.Woo my friend. I loved and respected him greatly. I opened my first school in 1975 in Buena Park, Ca. This school was then moved to a larger location in North Orange County in 1997. I have since relocated and now live in Chico. My classes are conducted in the same way that I was taught by Jimmy. My goal now is the same as it has always been, to pass on the art of Kung-Fu San Soo exactly as I was taught.
