About Kuk Sool WonBy Leslie T

Kuk Sool Won is probably one of the greatest martial arts unknown to most of the world right now. It's not only an art, it is a complete system of martial arts stemming from ancient teachings of the buddhist monks, the royal courts of Korea, and Family Tribal martial arts of Korea. From punches and kicks, to pressure points strikes and grapples, this art truly covers it all, including weapons training upon reaching first degree black belt. To top it off, this art is not only a young man's arena, it's for all people of all ages.

Kuk Sool Won's martial arts system

As a martial arts system, Kuk Sool Won covers the entire spectrum of the traditional Asian fighting arts and techniques of body conditioning, as well as mental development and traditional weapons training.

Kuk Sool Won covers an extensive variety or diversity of techniques and martial art methods, however it is not merely concerned with the physical methods of attack and defense: Kuk Sool Won includes the study of healing techniques, the development of internal power, and physical conditioning. Training in Kuk Sool Won also helps to instill self-confidence and self-discipline, a calm self-assurance, and the psychological and spiritual values, which are traditionally associated with the martial character. Mental and physical well-being are of primary importance in Kuk Sool.

Although Kuk Sool as it is practiced today is relatively new, its roots stretch far and deep to the very beginnings of the history of Korea. As students of Kuk Sool, this early history and the ancient traditions upon which our art is founded should be as important to us as the physical techniques themselves, for it is only fromour understanding and appreciation of these classical roots that we are able to grow as students of the martial arts.

Come give it a try

Some families we have take it as a recreational hobby for getting back in shape together, some use it to learn self control, and of course, a lot take it to become a martial artisan. The hardest part of being a good martial artisan isn't kicking high, or punching fast though, its becoming a good person that tends to be the toughest.

Etiquette above all else is taught to all KSW students, because it doesn't matter if you can kick the highest or break the most bones, it's being able to have the control to stop yourself from getting into trouble that helps the most, and that's where martial arts etiquette comes into play. I have been to several other martial arts centers and taken a few, I have found that this art combines everything I found in several styles into one complete style. Kuk Sool Won may not always look like its anything tough to do, however then again, if you have never walked on fire you never know how much it burns. In other words, come give it a try and see yourself become a stronger, better person.

Martial Arts and Self DefenseBy Amy Celia

There is a serious, even deadly problem in the world of martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) and self defense.

Most people assume that if someone has their black belt or competes in martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) competitions that they already know how to defend themselves, however that couldn't be farther from the truth. Having a Black Belt in any martial art does not mean you're ready to protect yourself in the real world.

Over the past three decades there have been a lot of changes in martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) and self defense, however none as unfortunate and dangerous as right now. There's always been the "my style of martial art is better than your martial art" debate, however the problem goes much deeper than that. The critical issue is not about what martial art or self-defence (the means of defending oneself from physical attack; the right to protect oneself against violence by using reasonable force, especially when used as justification in a murder charge) system is best, it is how martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) and combat sports are perceived as self defense.

Due to the increasing popularity of martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) on TV, in movies, more and more people are becoming interested in the martial arts, however at the same time, more and more people becoming confused (chaotic, jumbled or muddled; making no sense; illogical; embarrassed) about the subject of self defense. Each and every form of traditional martial art andmartial sport has their place. They both build character and get you in great shape, however can they save your life in an attempted rape or homicide?

The benefits of studying the martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) are legendary. Traditional martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) like Karate, Aikido, Kung fu and combat sports like Mixed Martial Arts, Judo, Wrestling, Tae Kwon Do, Thai Boxing, Boxing and Brazilian Jujitsu will all give you life long benefits and are worthy endeavors, however will they give you the self-defence (the means of defending oneself from physical attack; the right to protect oneself against violence by using reasonable force, especially when used as justification in a murder charge) tools you need to survive an all out, knock down, drag-out street fight? Do you really have to spend years and countless pounds studying a martial art to learn only the essential, proven self defense?

There is no argument that martial arts (Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat) and martial sports develop character and get you in shape, however when it comes to self defense, you'll discover they fall drastically short under the stress of real combat.
