I remember when I was child, feeling uncertainty about beginning martial arts. I wondered if I had what it took to succeed and I wasn’t the most athletic or confident child - quite the opposite. Little did I know that beginning my martial arts journey would be one of the most profound experiences of my life!
When I opened my school in 2005, I made a commitment to serving and empowering the community of Abilene by teaching children and adults the confidence, leadership and fitness skills that can only be achieved through martial arts.

The name 'Kuk Sool Won' translates to "National Martial Art Association" (often shortened to 'Kuk Sool') and it is currently taught worldwide. Founded as a martial arts system and not merely a martial arts style, Kuk Sool is not limited to any single discipline. It attempts to be a comprehensive study of all Korean martial arts. In Hyuk Suh's philosophy regarding his system is to "Integrate and explore the entire spectrum of established Asian martial arts, body conditioning techniques, mental development, and weapons training."
As a traditional martial art, Kuk Sool traces many of its roots back to the ancient and prehistoric martial arts used thousands of years ago. However, the skills learned in Kuk Sool Won are very adaptable to the modern world. Kuk Sool has many facets and is performed for self-defense, healing, conditioning, competition, fun and aesthetic purposes.
