I have had rheumatoid arthritis since age 1. Master Jim has helped me to improve my balance, flexibility, and overall physical condition. I have had many people comment about my improvement; I give full credit to Master Jim! Having this condition for so long, I would never have believed that I could do any type of martial art. I have accomplished more than I ever dreamed of.

Jim Mathews is one of the most dedicated human beings/instructors I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He is also a very loving father and sets a wonderful example for his son. He is humble, courageous and one *ell of a fighter.!.I have come around 180 degrees thru his instruction of Kung Fu san soo, buy learning the art the way Jimmy Woo would have taught it himself...Jim Mathews is the main reason I can face danger and not be afraid any more...I thank him constantly...
