I started training in Jimmy H. Woo San Soo at Cypress College at the age of 5 years old and have been hooked ever since. I began teaching early on from helping other new students and assisting my instructors. Once old enough I begin 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 at Cypress College. It was a big dream of mine since childhood.
A few years after I was asked to teach the Adult classes. I've always loved this art, though I've studied other arts and systems (mainly to be well versed) Jimmy H. Woo Kung-fu San Soo is my first love. I want to be the best I can be for myself and my students. That's why I've incorporated resistive Shuai Jiao and San Shou training to Jimmy Woo's Cooperative freestyle workout version of Kung-fu San Soo and Changing the Title from that To Kung-fu San Shou to note the changes. The (Kung Fu) represents Jimmy Woo's Choy Li Ho Fut Hung Ga San Soo and the (San Shou) represents actual Chinese San Shou with resistive Shuai Jiao and real fighting applications. This is my Kung-fu San Shou at Cypress College. I earned my first master degree in 2004 by master Larry Dusatko, my second master degree by master Bill Hulsey (know for preserving The Old style of San Soo) in 2015, and 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 33 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. This art fits you. I personally invite you to come out, sign up, try out my classes and see for yourself how fun, exciting and great Kung-fu San Shou is. I bet you will fall in love and make this your life long endeavor When I started this journey I never expected it was going to lead me down the paths it has. I am truly blessed and grateful to have learnt this. I would really love to share it with you and your friends and family as well. A Big Kung-fu Salute to you! - Sifu Jason D. Kalar |
