What “Style” Is Kuk Sool Won™?
The basis of Kuk Sool is the development and use of "Ki" (internal power). Therefore Kuk Sool is considered an internal martial art system. However, to classify Kuk Sool under any one name is incorrect due to its vastness. For self defense,Kuk Sool is unsurpassed. Kuk Sool Won 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, acupressure and acupunction techniques are employed to improve and maintain health, develop internal power and slow the ageing process. Philosophically, Kuk Sool stresses humility, self discipline, loyalty and respect for others. Together, these four aspects of Kuk Sool provide the means for attaining a longer and healthier life. |

Kuk Sool self defense offers the benefit that could prove life saving at some unexpected moment in the future |

Will I Learn Self Defence?
More importantly, Kuk Sool has a wide range of responses to an attack. They go from avoiding, to the merely controlling, to the painful, to the injuring, to the deadly. An important part of the philosophy behind Kuk Sool is that one meets an attack with an equal response. If someone grabs your shirt, the only response some people know is to break their knees with a kick. Kuk Sool considers such a response inappropriate. In Kuk Sool one learns that small threats can be met with small responses which will probably avert further trouble without causing more problems than they solve. |
