Kuk Sool Won™

I've been receiving a lot of emails asking me what is Kuk Sool Won™. Although I'm by no means an expert on the subject. I can shed a little light on the matter.

In Hyuk Suh is the founder, Grandmaster and President of the World Kuk Sool Association®. He has studied martial arts for more than 50 years.It was in the late 1950's that In-hyuk Suh begun the monumental task of organize and formulate the many scattered martial art techniques of Korea into a single system, which he named Kuk Sool. Officially founded as Kuk Sool Won™(National Martial Arts Association) in 1961.Kuk Sool Won™ is a systematic study of all of the traditional fighting arts, which together comprise the martial arts history of Korea. As such, Kuk Sool Won™ is extremely well organized and seeks to integrate and explore all aspects of the traditional Korean martial arts.Kuk Sool has countless techniques derived from the three branches of traditional Korean martial arts Tribal, Buddhist, and Royal Court and is structured to take a practitioner in a logical progression from the beginning all the way up to Master level.

As a martial arts system, Kuk Sool Won™ covers the entire spectrum of established Asian fighting arts and body conditioning techniques, as well as mental development and traditional weapons training. The following list includes some, but by no means all, of the elements of Kuk Sool Won™.
