What We Teach

Kuk Sool Won™ is a comprehensive martial arts system, derived from the rich and varied martial arts techniques and traditions that have arisen in Korea. Although its origins may be traced to antiquity, the present Kuk Sool Won™ system was formally devised by Grandmaster In-Hyuk Suh in 1958, and brought by him to America in 1974. As the founder of Kuk Sool Won™, In Hyuk Suh spent more than forty years in single-minded practice and research in order to learn, master, and compile the more than 3,608 techniques that comprise Kuk Sool Won™.

More than simply another style or system of Asian martial arts Kuk Sool Won™ can almost be described as a "graduate level" martial arts program.  An extremely comprehensive system, Kuk Sool Won™ is comprised of all aspects of traditional Asian martial arts -- striking and kicking, throwing and grappling, pressure points and joint locking, animal style techniques, traditional Korean forms, traditional Korean weapons, falling and martial arts gymnastics and Asian health and body protection techniques -- all drawn from the three traditional sub-groups of Korean martial arts and ALL offered in a single, unified and highly-structured system!
