The following will give you a better understanding of the
Positions, Purpose and meaning of the Kung Fu salute.
The salute is executed by stepping forward with the right foot
into a kick stance. This stepping forward movement symbolizes
your outstanding Proudness for what knowledge of the Art of
Kung Fu San Soo You have. With the right foot remaining in
the kick stance, the right arm forms a half circle in front
of You with the fist closed and the thumb down. The fist
represents you as a man experienced in the Kung Fu Art. The
left hand, open and in a half-moon shape, is the orient where
the Art had its beginning.
The Protection of Yourself by the knowledge and skills of the
San Soo Art, is a very condensed meaning of the salute. When
executed correctly, the Kung Fu salute sets You apart as a
member of the oldest martial art in the world, Kung Fu San Soo.
