I began training in Jimmy H. Woo Kung-fu San Soo at Cypress College at the age of 5 years old under Master Larry S. Dusatko and have been hooked ever since. I began teaching early on from helping other new students and assisting my instructor. Once old enough I began teaching on my own at local gyms, recreation centers, parks even sub leased a jazzercise school, until being offered to teach Kung-fu for Kids by my Sifu Larry S. Dusatko at Cypress College. It was a HUGE Honor and dream of mine since childhood.
A few years later I was asked to take over teaching the Adult classes. Another Enormous Honor. I've always loved this art, though I've studied other arts and systems (mainly to be a well versed San Soo instructor) Jimmy H. Woo Kung-fu San Soo is my first love and perpetuating it is my main goal. I wanted to be the best I could be for myself, my students and this Martial Art. That's why I've continued my education in this Art as well. I've traveled and trained with many of Grandmaster Woo's top student masters. I knew there was more to the Art of San Soo. I wanted to know it all. I wanted to know all of Kung-fu San Soo that was taught by Grandmaster Woo. Depending on when someone started with Grandmaster Woo or how often they went to class decided greatly the type of instruction and knowledge they had received. I'm honored to have learned all that I have from those great Masters that I did. so I offer a great big Salute to them all. This is the legacy I carry on as a 2nd generation master All true Tsoi Li Ho Fut Hung Ga Kung-fu San Soo. At Cypress College. I earned my first master degree in 2004 by Master Larry Dusatko (known as 1 of only 12 Advanced masters who received the comprehensive advanced training under Grandmaster Woo) In which he also trained me. Master Dusatko said I was the first 2nd gen. he was aware of to receive and complete the comprehensive advanced training (Advanced masters) in 2005. my second master degree by master Bill Hulsey (known for preserving The Old Frank Woolsey style of San Soo) in 2015. My third and last master degree from master Carl Lorenzen (known as the author of the 5 main Black Belt books with Lo Sifu Jimmy H. Woo) in 2017. I've over 34 years of training and experience with more than 20 years officially teaching. I've taught people ranging from 4-94 years of age, all fitness levels and some with special needs. I've taught through all belt and rank levels. Having several high ranked black belts and master students under my guidance. This art fits you. I personally invite you to come out to Cypress College school of continuing education, sign up for my Adult or Childrens Kung-fu, try out my classes and see for yourself how fun, exciting and great Kung-fu San Soo is. I bet you will fall in love and make this your life long endeavor When I started out in Kung-Fu San Soo with Master Larry S. Dusatko I never expected it was going to lead me down the paths it has. It has not always been easy, but Kung-fu does mean hard work. I am grateful to have been on this journey and to have learnt this Art. I would really love to share it with you, your friends and family as well. A Big Kung-fu Salute to you! - Master Jason D. Kalar - Sifu |
