What is Kuk Sool Won?
Kuk Sool is a comprehensive martial arts system that is derived from the rich and varied martial arts techniques and traditions that have arisen in Korea through the ages. Kuk Sool is not a sport, nor is it simply another oriental self defense method; Kuk Sool is a complete martial art that is dedicated to the cultivation of mental and physical strength and well being and to the preservation of the traditional Korean martial arts.
For self-defense, Kuk Sool is unsurpassed. It combines kicking, punching, throwing, falling, choking, joint-locking and a myriad of weapons techniques into a beautiful and dynamic "hard-soft" style emphasizing speed and fluidity. In conjunction with physical training, meditation, breathing techniques, acupressure and acupuncture techniques are employed to improve and maintain good health, to develop internal power and to retard the aging process. Philosophically, Kuk Sool stresses humility, self-discipline, self-control, loyalty, and respect for others. Together, these aspects of Kuk Sool provide the means for attaining a long and healthful life.
The Origin of Kuk Sool Won.
When the Grandmaster was very young he opened his eyes to the martial art world. Forgetting everything except training, sometimes forgetting to eat and sleep, he traveled from province to province and village to village to learn from many different masters throughout Korea. They taught him the hidden secrets of generations of martial arts, one by one. Sometimes he would only learn one special technique from a master. After years of training, learning and research he hesitated to keep all the priceless arts of his ancestors to himself. But after much meditation and consideration he decided to teach the ancient martial arts of Korea to the public. So after decades of single-minded practice and research in order to learn, compile, master, and organize the more than 3,600 techniques that comprise Kuk Sool he founded "Kuk Sool Won" (Korean National Martial Arts Association) in 1961 and brought it to the United States in 1974. Starting with one school in the early 1960's, Kuk Sool Won has flourished to become a global martial art with over one-thousand schools world wide and still growing daily.
