 Kung Fu San Soo Sonora - Kung Fu San Soo Defined
Kung Fu San Soo is more of a complex Chinese fight skill training lineage, than a single martial art ‘style’.
Historically, five of the elements of Kung Fu San Soo are connected with the famous Five Families of the Nánquán, or Southern Fist martial styles, although Kung Fu San Soo practically and historically also includes elements of Chángquán (Beiquan), or Northern Fist styles.
It may have been used to describe the fighting techniques utilized by modern Kung Fu San Soo for millennia, although legend holds that the core art as passed by Chan Siu Dek was most likely created, or at least refined, during the early part of the Qing Dynasty in the Southern Shaolin Temple at Fujian.
