As you can
see, Kuk Sool Won™ covers an extensive variety of martial art
techniques. But it is not merely concerned with methods of attack and
defense, Kuk Sool Won™ also includes the study of healing techniques and
the development of internal power, in addition to the physical training.
Mental development is of equal importance in Kuk Sool Won™ and helps to
instill self-confidence and self-discipline, a calm self-assurance, and
the psychological and spiritual values which are traditionally
associated with the character of a martial artist.
Although
Kuk Sool Won™ as it is practiced today is relatively new, its roots
stretch far and deep to the very beginnings of the Korean people. This
early history and the ancient traditions upon which this art is founded
should be viewed as important as the physical techniques themselves, for
it is only from the understanding and appreciation of these classical
roots that one is able to grow as a student of the martial arts.
