About
As one of the most family-friendly martial arts currently available, Kuk Sool WonTM covers the entire realm of traditional Asian techniques in regards to body conditioning, mental development, self-defense and combat fighting arts, including traditional weapons training.
Furthermore, Kuk Sool WonTM is not solely focused on the physical methods of attack and defense, but also with the study of healing techniques, the development of internal power, and achieving good health and physical fitness. Training in Kuk Sool WonTM also helps to instill confidence, self-discipline, a calm self-assurance, and other psychological strengths which are usually associated with the character of a martial artist.
All of this means that Kuk Sool WonTM is not limited to a particular style of martial arts, but is a well-organized, systematic study of the entire spectrum of Korean martial arts, dating from ancient times to the present. Its vast scope incorporates many different martial art styles while its unique curriculum makes learning all of them seem anything but complex. As such, you will find that Kuk Sool WonTM is perfect for anyone of any age or gender, especially for those with different goals, needs, or any physical limitations.
My name is Gehrik Mohr and I'm a 3rd Degree Black Belt in Kuk Sool Won. I have been studying Kuk Sool Won consistently for 25 years. I started in Berkley, Michigan under 3rd Degree Black Belt Lawrence Johansen. I opened my first schools back in 2000 in Troy and Novi. Since 1992 I've personally trained with many Masters in Kuk Sool, including Kuk Sa Nim - In Hyuk Suh - the Grandmaster himself. I traveled to Korea in 2002 to train at the temples with the Great Monk. Since then, I train every September with 9th Degree Master Sung Jin Suh, the Grandmaster's oldest son and heir to the World Kuk Sool Association.
Thankyou for reviewing my profile and I'm looking forward to helping you learn martial arts and self defense.
Sincerely,
Bu Sa Bum Nim Gehrik Mohr
