Grandmaster Browning has developed practical, basic techniques that can easily be added in a few hours of training to other martial arts systems.  These techniques complement and enhance existing systems, as his Accelerated Fighting System is a combination of the fighting arts he has studied and trained in over the years.  Taking only those techniques that are practical in street and self defense situations, together with full contact fighting and submission grappling, Grandmaster Browning has developed a streamlined program which separates fighting art from form and set patterns.

Grandmaster Browning travels all over the world doing seminars.  His goal is to open minds to the exploration of other arts and to unite these arts to connect missing links in each style.  Cross-training broadens skills, develops new awareness, and expands students knowledge and ability.

KUNG FU SAN SOO COMBAT ART

A TRUE FIGHTING ART CANNOT BE PRACTICED WITHOUT THE CONSTANT ELEMENT OF DANGER, NOR CAN IT BE BROUGHT TO A PRACTICAL CONCLUSION WITHOUT THE SPILLING OF BLOOD.  HOWEVER, IN ORDER THAT IT MAY BE PRACTICED AT A TIME WHEN THERE IS A LACK OF MARTIAL APPLICATIONS, TRAINING METHODS MUST BE DESIGNED TO CONTROL IT WITHOUT REDUCING ITS COMBAT VALUES.  RULES AND REGULATIONS ENABLING A FIGHTING ART TO BECOME A COMPETITIVE SPORT TEND TO REDUCE ITS COMBAT EFFECTIVENESS.  WITH THIS WATERING DOWN PRECESS, COMBAT VALUES WEAKEN, OFTEN DISAPPEAR, AND ELEMENTS UNRELATED TO REAL COMBAT CREEP INTO THE EXERCISE PATTERNS.
