"Human Weapon" had a recent show about 'MC-MAP', (Marine Corp Martial Arts Program), and I wondered why it had such a very 'San-Soo' like feel to it...now I see why...

Of course, back in the 1920/30's in Shanghai, the USMC guards were being trained in what was essentially "Fut Ga", so in reality the connection goes back a very, very long way.

The beauty part of San Soo is it's simplicity- you don't have to be flashy Billy Badass to be devastating or effective. For what many would consider a traditional martial art it works so far out of the box to be truly traditional. I miss training in San Soo!

Now this looks more suited for the military than the MMA that they pass off as combatives!!
