Kuk Sool is a collection of ancient and modern Korean martial arts that was organized in 1958 by Grand Master Su In-Hyuk.
In 1961, he introduced the organization of Kuk Sool and called it “Kuk Sool Won” (Korean Traditional Martial Arts Association).
Hyuk’s goal was to present a full range of Korean martial arts and integrate them, including kicks and kicks and the use of cold weapons.
Grandmaster Soo In-hyuk was trained in Korean martial arts by his grandfather, Soo Myung-deok, a Korean royal court instructor, following his family tradition of sixteen generations of Korean martial arts. After the death of his grandfather during the Korean War, Soo In-hyuk traveled throughout the Far East, visiting various Buddhist monasteries and meeting with other great martial arts masters to research the development of his martial arts system.
In this way, his brothers helped him. Sue founded Kuk Sool Won in 1961. He fled South Korea in 1974 due to political problems, and in 1975 he decided to introduce and expand his style in the United States.
