What is Kuk Sool Won™?

Kuk Sool Won™ of San Marcos is a certified, licensed school by the World Kuk Sool Association.

Grandmaster Suh, In Hyuk, created The World Kuk Sool Association™ and has grown WKSA into the largest martial arts organization in the world led by one person.  

Kuk Sool Won™ is a complete and comprehensive martial arts system that is derived from the rich and varied martial arts techniques that have arisen in Korea through the ages.

Kuk Sool Won™ is not a sport, nor is it simply another oriental 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.

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.
