Opps, see I did it too lolol. I meant to say that Raul might have started in the "late 60's or early 70's", but I not sure as to what date exactly. Either way, he's been in it for a long time. Sorry I missed the typo. I'll try harder next time :-)

Ummm, this is going to sound like I'm nit picking here but, I'm not really. Small clarification here. Raul didn't learn from my Grandfather for 40 some odd years, like he said. I think he just said it the wrong way. Any way, Raul has been training for a number of decades. I think he started in the late 70's or early 60's. My Grandfather only taught here in America for about 29 years at the most.
I'd like to answer your counter arguments, in order.
The enemy is always training and developing their body of knowledge. Americans who would be interested are most likely already training. The rest of America is apathetic at best narcissistic at worst and believe that nothing bad can ever happen to them, hey their Americans. Kung-fu and marital arts were secrets entrusted to a select few in the old days for a reason. Do you want to be the trainer of the next 911 attacker? He'll pay you?
what' up Kevin? It's Steve from photo shot awhile back. Ur so right about this guy being afraid! lol. We had a hard core muslim guy before the war started in our class & there's a chance i could be on a video in some cave. lol. But i ain't loseing any sleep over it. But i did wondered how they knew about San Soo? lol.
And congrats on doing well at tournament.. good job!
I anxiously await seeing your KFSS videos. I'd like to request that you film the smaller details up close. Definitely use wide shots so we can see the entire body move, but take a second zoomed in shot of how a fist or claw looks, where you place your fingers on a leverage, to show exactly where a pressure point or target is on the body. It's all the little things that make up the effectiveness of The Art and yet in videos they are often the easiest to lose in translation. God Bless!
Excellent suggestions Vincent! I would request of Master Raul Ries to show everyone the proper way to "base out lessons," i.e. experimenting with a lesson and seeing how to make it work from all eight directions on a compass (N-S-E-W-NE-NW-SE-SW); as well as working the lesson both "short arm" & "long arm," at different distances. This type of basing out the lessons is the "higher levels" of Kung-Fu San Soo that some 1st generation students cry about not receiving from Grand Master Jimmy H. Woo.
Great to see Pastor Ries posting a video message on YT - it's been a long time since he's posted.
Hope that Pastor Ries' church & the people in the community were not affected by the wildfire in Diamond Bar. May Jesus protect the church & the people who live in the Diamond Bar community.
So where are your videos?

Pastor Ries when are your kung fu lessons going to begin. I'm trying to be patient but anxiously waiting.

Sir, I hope that you teach new San Soo (basic 45) as old San Soo (Ah Soo) should not be available to those who would use it with out honor.
Beware of the traitors among us we are at war. I know of a instructor (not San Soo)who had the misfortune of having taught a terrorist.

Dude, don't you think the benefit of the other 1,000 people that would benefit from the videos could outmatch a couple terrorists?
The fact that you even considered terrorism when you posted that comment shows that you are scared, and terrorists did their job effectively.
And it's besides the point, as modern technology and terrorist tactics have obliterated the need for hand-to-hand combat training.
BTW, base 45 and ah soos are the same thing.
