Camp Pendleton October, 1997 Part One

This is instruction given to the then First Force Recon Company at Camp Pendleton on October 31, 1997. First Force Recon was and is, (under their new name) the ELITE Special Forces Group in the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton.

This is instruction provided by the short-lived "Triad Alliance Group" which consisted of Robert/Sean, Juan Meza, and Jack Sera. This is one session of many, many recorded classes of San Soo being taught to Marines and Law Enforcement personnel. Some were initially taught by TAG, and after the dissolution of TAG, all were taught by TMI.

This is not a demo. But for both the novice San Soo person or the most advanced, it provides good instruction in some of the basics of San Soo. Understanding concepts of basics helps in executing the "simple" techniques of San Soo as well as in performing the most "complex" techniques...

The Captain cannot stress too much that a solid understanding and mastery of the foundation basics of San Soo is only a good thing, if dealing with a real street fight is what you are preparing for.

So if you are a San Soo person, set aside about 29 minutes, add Part One, Part Two, and Part Three into your play list and enjoy a good review or even what is perhaps for you, a slightly different take on some Basics of San Soo.


Juan and Robert were two 48 year old men in this 1997 video... it is clear that they were thoroughly enjoying themselves...

The Captain has only seen the Juanmeister on tape. But I can see that he is the Real McCoy when it comes to being a street monster if the occasion called for it... He is a tad arrogant also... but what is a San Soo Fighter if not a little full of himself...

I really like the sansoo approach .... Just for ask a question here Why dont go for a strike to the head first ....I mean hammer to the face or straight punch .....Why strike the redial nerves first and destroy the arm? more direct to go straight to the head.... next if his right arms grab my left wrist and pull ....my left foot will go first forward ...
