Jimmy Woo

The history of San Soo contains all the facts of how Lo Sifu Chin Siu Dek was raised on the art of Tsoi Li Ho Fut Hung Moy Sot (蔡李何佛雄武術) from a child. It explains the lineage and how San Soo came to America, but while it has all the facts, it does not contain the essence of who Lo Sifu (Grandmaster Jimmy H. Woo) was, and is, to many people. In many ways, the man we knew is very different from the young man who grew up in China. As a youth, he was known to start and end the trouble, but with age came wisdom. That wisdom is evident in the man we came to know and admire. In order to explain who he was, we must look at what he said and what he held dear.
