Who Is Bob

Si Fu Bob Shores has been teaching Kung-Fu San Soo since 1980. In 1982, he founded Bob Shores' Chinese Boxing Academy. In 1986 he wrote the book, "Kung Fu San Soo from Principle to Technique". He also appeared on the cover of Greg Jones' book, "Predator Training: The inner Beast of San Soo" (Published by Paladin Press). In 1990 Si Fu Shores received his Masters Degree (8th Degree Black Belt) in Kung-Fu San Soo. Si Fu Shores was also among the first Americans to train under and be tested by Wing Chun Grandmaster William Cheung. Si Fu Shores currently holds a "level 10 instructor grade" in Traditional Wing Chun system as well as a Black Belt in Kenpo Karate. Si Fu Shores was inducted into Who's Who in America in 1998 and is recognized by both the IKFSSA (International Kung-Fu San Soo Association) and the WWCKFA (World Wing Chun Kung-Fu Association).

In October of 2003 Si Fu Shores took a Security position with Seven Feathers Hotel and Casino Resort. Seven months later he was asked to join the Surveillance Department of the Cow Creek Gaming and Regulatory Commission. Si Fu Shores then made the decision to quit teaching full time and began a carreer as a Surveillance Operator. Subsequently in September of 2004 the Diamond Lake Blvd. School in Roseburg was closed and moved to Sifu Shores home. BSCBA is still alive and well, it just took on a new look. Sifu Shores now teaches part time and has a challenging and rewarding carreer with the CCGRC as well. Even though the school is considerably smaller now, the quality of instruction and level of excitement have actually risen. This is attributed to the greater individual attention afforded in a smaller class setting. Couple this fact with the peace Si Fu Shores feels and there is a clear indication that he made the right decision.
