About Me


Kung Fu, San Soo, Women's Self Defense, Martial Arts, Rape Prevention Tony Mendoza Jr. was born and raised in northern California. He had two major interests growing up which were, sports/fitness and electronics. He worked in the Silicon Valley in the electronics field starting in 1980. At the same time he became interested in bodybuilding and fitness, eventually becoming certified as a fitness trainer in 1984. He moved to Nevada City in 1993 at the age of 33. There, while working as a Certified Fitness Trainer in a local fitness club, he met Robert Phillips, who encouraged him to try Kung Fu San Soo. He immediately fell in love with the Art and trained regularly, getting his black belt in 1998.

Also, in 1993, with the creation of the World Wide Web, Tony was immediately interested in the possibilities of this form of global communication and saw the potential of the Internet. He became a Webmaster, and designed his first web site, the Phillips School of Kung Fu San Soo. It was also one of the first Kung Fu San Soo sites on the Internet!

He also saw a direct correlation between certain fitness techniques and martial arts training and experimented with this. He found that martial artists could quickly and dramatically improve their skills through the application of various fitness exercises and core training techniques.
