Kuk Sool Won™ is a comprehensive martial arts system that is derived from the rich and varied martial arts techniques that have arisen in Korea from ancient to present time. Kuk Sool Won™ is not a sport, nor is it simply another self-defense method. Kuk Sool Won™ is a complete martial arts system that is dedicated to the cultivation of mental and physical strength and well-being and to the preservation of traditional Martial Arts. Kuk Sool Won™ has been actively promoted worldwide by the World Kuk Sool Association®, and it is also recognized in the martial arts community as one of the most effective and comprehensive systems of traditional Korean Martial Arts in existence today.
Kuk Sool Won™ was formally systemized in 1958 by Grandmaster Suh, In Hyuk and the association was officially founded in 1961 in Korea. A quality unique to Kuk Sool Won™ is the Association (WKSA) and the fact that the Association has kept the traditional Korean Martial Art of Kuk Sool Won™ pure, and will continue to do so throughout the world. So, no matter where you may travel or live, once you have joined Kuk Sool Won™ and the Association, you can practice the same Kuk Sool Won™ curriculum whether you are in Texas, California, New York, Canada, Puerto Rico, Europe, or Korea!
For self-defense, Kuk Sool Won™ is unsurpassed. It combines kicking, punching, throwing, choking, joint-locking, and a myriad of weapons techniques, into a beautiful and dynamic "hard-soft" style emphasizing speed and fluidity. Philosophically, Kuk Sool Won™ stresses humility, self-discipline, self-control, loyalty and respect for others. Together, these aspects of Kuk Sool Won™ provide the means for attaining a long and healthy life. Kuk Sool Won™ can benefit men, women, and children.
