WHAT IS FIGHT ELEVATOR?
Fight Elevator is an online martial arts training platform that offers a Kung Fu San Soo courses, and knife fighting courses. We now offer a separate Kung Fu San Soo Belt Program.
Fight Elevator now offers a separate Kung Fu San Soo Belt Training Program for students who want a structured path to progress through the belt system. This program is different from the Fight Elevator Base Membership and can be purchased separately with no base membership required. Complete each structured belt training block as you progress, work through step-by-step curriculum taught by experienced Kung Fu San Soo instructors, and complete live virtual evaluations with a Sifu along the way.
A $30/mo Fight Elevator Base Membership starts with instant access to 40 training videos: 20 Kung Fu San Soo videos and 20 knife fighting videos. Enjoy a 7-day free trial. Each month after joining, you’ll unlock one new module from each system. Every module includes 10 step-by-step videos, with lessons ranging from 8 to 17 minutes. Only interested in knife training? You can purchase knife training modules separately without a base membership.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.
-
We don’t have a traditional kata system, but we do require a few short sequences called “working out procedures.” These combine techniques from your training block into a straightforward sequence you demonstrate in the air.
We created these because many students don’t have training partners. Demonstrating the sequence helps us see that you’ve practiced the material and assess how well you perform the movements on your own. Each movement comes from the practical self-defense techniques covered in your lessons.
You may hear the instruction “memorize this like a kata” in the course. This simply means learning the sequence for your test. Some systems require students to memorize 20 different katas or forms. That’s not how our program works. There’s some memorization involved, but our focus is on helping you practice the techniques and demonstrate what you’ve learned.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING
“Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned martial artist, you will learn the most effective self defense skills that can prepare anyone for a self defense threat and/or add more tools to your arsenal to your primary martial art style and be challenged to be more well rounded. I can speak from first hand experience that I gained more situational and body awareness to my primary fighting style thanks to Jarrad.”
— Jason K, Student“Jarrad is truly an eternal student and the depth of his knowledge spanning various martial arts/self defense forms is unmatched. I have always been impressed that all skill levels, body shapes, ages, fitness levels, ages, genders, etc. are welcomed at his classes. Also, Jarrad is a very thoughtful, specific and encouraging instructor and the self-defense concepts he teaches are reality-based and safety is always emphasized.”
— Desiree S, Student“Jarrad is an excellent head instructor; he communicates well, has a depth of knowledge of various martial arts, is well read, and personable. The name of the school is not an accident; Jarrad wants to provide you with concepts and with his guidance and your sweat & dedication, you build out from there. There is no one way.”
