© 2008 Kung Foo San Soo During Raul's training, Lo Si Fu chose him to participate in the exhibitions he organized. They demonstrated Kung Fu San Soo at the Pomona Fair, Chinatown's annual festivities, and many other events. Lo Si Fu used Raul as often as he was available. This was an honor for Raul, knowing that Lo Si Fu chose him to illustrate the art of Kung Fu San Soo to others. During this time, Raul had earned his black belt and opened his own San Soo studio in Azusa. Within six months of opening his first studio, Raul's clientele had outgrown the studio and he had to move to a larger facility. The new studio was able to accommodate 70-80 students. However, within a year and a half, he again had to move to a larger studio. At his new location in Covina, he was able to teach over 200 students. It was during this time, on Easter Sunday, April 15, 1972, that his life was transformed. Raul accepted Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior and began Bible studies at his studio. Eventually, his Bible study grew beyond his studio and into the Fox Theater. By 1993, his small Bible study had grown to 12,000 members and they moved to a twenty-eight acre facility in Diamond Bar. Raul was ordained a pastor in 1975, but San Soo was still a big part of his life. He used his time in the studio to not only train in San Soo but to share the word of God. It was important to Pastor Raul that he share Christ with Lo Si Fu, due to his special relationship with him, and before his death in 1991, Lo Si Fu received Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. In January of 1980, Raul received his Masters in San Soo Kung Fu from Lo Si Fu. Pastor Raul's reputation as a Master in the art of Kung Fu San Soo has opened many unlikely doors for him to share the Gospel. He has been invited by government officials in South America and South Africa to address their military and police force. Here in the United States, he has taught police officers and demonstrated the art of San Soo at various military installations with the purpose of sharing the Gospel wherever he goes. As a Christian Pastor and a Master in the art of Kung Fu San Soo, Raul has been asked many times about the conflict between the two. Because Lo Si Fu never taught the mysticism associated with Kung Fu, he does not see a conflict. Lo Si Fu did not rely on mystical powers, but confidence in one's abilities. He would always say, "You can take my life, but not my confidence." Lo Si Fu dedicated his life to teaching Kung Fu San Soo, in its' purist form. In memory of his dedication and leadership, whose presence surpasses words, Raul has continued on, in this tradition.
