During that time, I had the honor and privilege to work with both Master Ron and Master David. Both of them are incredible men, whether in- or out- of the studio. Both are fantastic practitioners and teachers. Both exude power, speed and confidence, yet at the same time, both men are humble and helpful. To all of their students.... you couldn't have picked better teachers! You are definitely in good hands. Listen to these guys! They know what they are doing. Dave and Ron: Best of luck with the studio. I hope to stop by and see you both soon. I was involved in KKSS for about 15 years with Bill Lasiter as my teacher.

Blast from the past! Michael Haas here! Look forward to seeing you again and catching up! I've thought of you often and the incredible life changing event of receiving my black belt. The season of my time studying San Soo has clearly been one of the most life impacting times of my life. Live in Oceanside now, took the opportunity to visit George Kosty and his school right around the corner from me. I look forward to getting back on the bike and talking with you. Ron Scanlon!

Once one has become a Black Belt in San Soo the true learning begins. I agree Black Belt is not the goal but rather the begining of insight into the self. Once on has over come the fear of defeat and embraces the struggle within only then has one become a true warrior. Battles are won and lost often with the state of mind of the combatants. When we understand the futility of fighting the tendency is to avoid violent confrontation whenever possible. However, when no other course of action presents it's self San Soo training and discipline requires sudden and over whelmimg violence in the extreme. Hence, command of the self is the greatest tool of the well trained and disciplined San Soo Black Belt. In the more than thirty (30) years I have practiced the Art as I have matured I have come to understand violence is the last resort. Of the many things I have achieved in my life, joining the ranks as a San Soo Black Belt is the of whjich I am most proud. I worked hard and over came many internal challenges on my path. To all those who have traveled the same or similar path you have my deepest respect. Dr. Michael L.

Yes, there will be more videos of Master Scanlon online here on this website, You Tube, and his website. Which is http://www.scanlonskungfu.com Master Scanlon's website will pretty much mirror this one. But, he will be addressing the needs of special needs students in particular on that site. At the moment we are still under construction on his site, since we have just brought it up. But, he will be posting on this site on the blog, and the forum. It's easy to register on both the blog and forum, so please do so. We hope to hear more from you and your students. PS I will be posting new videos as soon as today, no later than tomorrow.

I have students with special needs,I show just few or well, just one post from Master Scanlon ( is the only one I have in You Tube ) to inspire them, they beleive San Soo is possible. Your son master weeks is great! too, of course he has a great teacher. My son got his brown belt from me, and all those that help, because we are far away from the San Soo capital of California. He got it before he left to his mission, we are LDS. God Bless You for inspiring discipline and character. YOLI :) Master Dave Weeks and Ron Scanlon are Incredible!
