Striking Use of the elements of striking can range from closed fist (punching, hammer strikes, back knuckle strikes) to open hand (palm strikes, chops, spear hands and claws). Elbow and knee strikes are often used in close range situations. Kicks are used when a long range strike is needed. Some of the kicks used are as follows (front kick-using heel or ball of foot, side kick, back kick, roundhouse, crescent - inside and outside and axe kicks).
Leverages Leverage is an important concept which is utilized throughout the entire art. It is the most difficult to grasp and is vital for the effectiveness of application in the elements within this art. Specifically leverage techniques are defined by the use of joint locks and stretching of tendons and ligaments. Throws and takedowns also can directly utilize these principles. When executed properly, little effort is needed for maximum effect.
Takedowns Placing your opponent on the ground can be done by using your hands, feet, legs, arms or your body itself. The most elementary concept here is the need to take your opponent’s balance away and remove him from his own center of gravity.
Pressure Points The human anatomy consists of many specific areas in which nerve, organ and muscle tissue is most exposed and most sensitive to an on coming attack. These targets are accessible and your opponent is greatly weakened with vary little strength needed. Accuracy in execution is the most important element utilizing this aspect of San Soo. Striking, kicking and grabbing can be tools used in this concept.
Throwing This is an area within San Soo in which the concept of leverage is directly and foundationally necessary to complete the task at hand. The opponent is lifted off their center and pulled to another location. This is all accomplished while you maintain your own center and draw him around your body in various directions until he reaches the ground next to you.

Friends are family you choose for yourself- They are your Heaven on Earth.
Arnel Mangosing
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

A story about Lil Anthony
Arnel jumped up as soon as he saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. He said: "How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?"
The surgeon said, "I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it."
Arnel look up in the sky and said, "Why do little children get burned? Doesn't God care any more? Where were you, God, when my son lil Anthony needed you?"
The surgeon asked, "Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university."
Arnel asked the nurse to stay with him while he said good-bye to lil Anthony. He ran his trembling fingers lovingly through his son's thick brown hair.
"Would you like a lock of his hair?" the nurse asked.
Arnel nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to him. Arnel said, "It was lil Anthony's idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help somebody else. "I said no at first, but my lil Anthony said, 'Papa, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Papa." He went on, "My lil Anthony had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could."
Arnel walked out of Children's mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the week there. He put the bag with Anthony's belongings on the seat beside him in the car. The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. He carried Anthony's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to his son's old room. He started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where lil Anthony had always kept them. Just before lil Anthony moved in with his mother. He laid down across lil Anthony's bed, hugging and smelling lil Anthony's pillow, with tear's falling from Arnel's face he fell asleep.
It was around midnight when Arnel awoke. Laying beside him on the bed was a folded letter. The letter said:
"Dear Papa, I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say "I LOVE YOU PAPA". I will always love you, Even more, Papa with each and every day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, She probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know. Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma Tarcing and Grandpa Stanley met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD! And guess what, Papa? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good-bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Papa? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter. I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'Where was He when I needed him?' "God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.
Oh, by the way, Papa, no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool? I have to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm, sure the food will be great.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore. The Burn marks are all gone. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery! How about that?

This one is for the girls you can take home to mom, but won't because its easier to have sex with a whore than work on a relationship; this is for the girls who have been led on by words and kisses and touches, all of which were either only true for the moment, or never real to begin with..
This is for the girls who have allowed a guy into their head and heart and bed, only to discover that he's just not ready, he's just not over "her", he's just not looking to be tied down; this is for the girls who believe the excuses because it's easier to believe that it's not that guy's don't want you, it's that they don't want anyone.
This is for the girls who have had their hearts broken and their hopes dashed by someone too selfish to have cared in the first place; this is for the nights spent dissecting every word and syllable and inflection in his speech. for the nights when you've returned home alone, for the nights when you've seen us guy's from across the room leaning a little too close, or standing a little too near, or talking a little too softly with the girl he's with to be an "old friend."
This is for the girls who have showed up party after party just to be in his presence, and finally realizing that it wasn't that he didn't want a relationship: it was that he didn't want you.
this is for the nights his dog died or his grandmother died or his little brother crashed his car and you held him, thinking that if you only comforted him just right, said the right words, or rubbed his back in the right way.. then perhaps he'd realize what it was that he already had.
This is for the night you realized that it would never happen, and the sunrise you saw the next morning after failing to sleep. This is for the "I really like you, so let's still be friends" comment & this is for realizing that when you choose friends, you hardly choose those which make you cry yourself to sleep.
This is for the girls who have been used and abused, who have settled for what he was giving because at least he was giving something. this is for the stupidity of the nights you've believed that something was better than nothing, though his something was nothing that you have ever wanted or need.
This is for the hugs you've received from your boyfriends, for the nights they've reassured you that you are beautiful. and that you are truly worthy of a great guy; this is for the regret youve felt as you sat in the aftermath of your tears, knowing that that night the only companionship you'd have was with a pillow.
This ones for the girls: broukensoul918 (Not all guy's are @ssholes), Ashenrose and Ozzie (Ozzie was always there dor Dana ) (Ozzie will pull through with flying colors) stbyprincess149 (My Heart, I wish her happiness until etenity) Aprincess87, PrincesSlut (April and KiKi , No matter how people portray you both. Your both Princesses in my eye's) Pnaismilez, baybeegurl09, Verraten (My Pinay sisters) 1 of 6 (Lotus who manages to read all my post) BlueRobyn, JustaJounaler, arabgirll16, Cherlessgrin, Bellavista, Maliicent, Mabella914, Scared 2love, Fyreth, Loveisnicotine, coedKaren, boycrazygrl88, Lyndseykins, Pussypatter, lilsexfreak, Loveatlast, Erin8ver, swimmincutie, dixyprincess,, jillychat2, Amarana5, Pixyprincess,, anglund, Tellagurl realitybites.
