“I started Kuk Sool Won at the ripe old age of 51, feeling every bit my age. After just a few months I began to notice improvement in my flexibility and stamina, not to mention the loss of body fat and fatigue. After four years, I feel in better shape now than I did when I was 30. My 10 year old son is also in Kuk Sool Won and the benefits to him have been equally impressive with noticeable improvement in his self-confidence, strength and overall physical health.”
-John Jacobs, parent and Kuk Sool Won student.
“My husband and I enrolled our children in class and found that they listen better and have better manners! For a few months, I sat on the side lines and decided to enroll as well. Since enrollment, my strength has improved and I have better flexibility. I really enjoy having a great workout and learning how to protect myself. It has made me more confident! I also love all the new people I have met. This has been a great learning experience for all of us!”
-M. Stephenson, parent and Kuk Sool Won student
“Kuk Sool Won has been the best sport for my kids. They have learned self-discipline, working with others and are in the best physical and mental shape they have ever been in (they even clean their rooms now). Thank you for all you have done.”
-Lauri Kent, parent
“As a single Mom, I enrolled my son to give him confidence and discipline, but after seeing how fun the classes were, I joined myself. Not only have I lost weight and toned up, but I am learning valuable self defense skills as well.”
-Norma Mendoza, parent and Kuk Sool Won student.
“My son had a severe stuttering problem that was unaffected by two years of speech therapy. Two to three months after joining the Kuk Sool Won classes and graduating to the second belt level, his speech was perfect, and it has been ever since.”
-Ken McKenney, parent
“I felt okay doing a demonstration in front of 500 people in a different city. Kuk Sool really helped my confidence.”
-Ashley Hallsted, 10, student
“I like the fact that the boys and girls are treated equally—everyone is treated with the same amount of discipline and respect.”
-Sue Leslie, parent
“I’ve made great friends because it’s like a family here...I love the sense of community. I’ve only been here for three months, but it’s really made me feel better about myself.”
-Teddy Triolo, adult student
“Women are shown the ability and given the confidence to kick and strike. The classes help to give you a strong sense of control and awareness of your body.”
