I have been ultra busy at work and I am on a long case in which I am a juror. I have not been able to find the time to post. I have been making it to class and I have been practicing at home; both of the White Belt and Yellow Belt Forms, and most of the moves that I have been learning. I was also informed, from Master Dave, that I am being promoted to Yellow Belt next week.
I will do my best to describe some of the moves that I have been practicing over the next few days.

Some arts teach you how to strike hard and fast for as long as you can. Their theory is that you will overwhelm and eventually defeat your opponent through the shear power and volume of your striking.
Other arts believe that accurately hitting your opponent in vulnerable areas is the key to defeating him or her. Kung Fu San Soo teaches; to strike with balance, leverage and power to vital areas of the body. You do this by working slowly and with accuracy when striking the vital targets of your training partners body. Over a period of time (years) it becomes second nature to position yourself to effectively strike these targets.
Also, strike your opponents so that you “set up” the body for the next strike, or combination of strikes to vital targets. This is were your leverage and power come in because if you hit a certain target you will know how and where your opponents body will move and can be ready to provide maximum power to your next strike to another vital organ or target.
An attacker may be big, strong and powerful but if he is hitting in places that do minimum damage then there is a chance to subdue and neutralize his attack.
The following list shows some of the vulnerable areas of the body.
—————————————————-
FRONT OF THE BODY:
Knee, Groin, Bladder, Liver, Spleen, Solar Plexus, Sternum
Heart, Throat, Jaw Hinge, Nose, Eyes and Temple
BACK OF THE BODY:
Back of Knee, Kidneys, Center of Spine, Trapezius, Collar Bone,
Base of the Neck, Base of the Skull.
—————————————————-
By knowing what areas of the body are most vulnerable to attack and striking at these targets in a systematic way you can eliminate any threat to yourself or your loved ones in an altercation. So, know your targets and practice hitting them often because the importance of correctly hitting your targets could one day save your life!
Happy Training!
