"Kuk Sool Won , which can be translated as Korean National Martial Arts Association,  is a systematic study of all of the traditional fighting arts which together comprise the martial arts history of the Korean nation.   As such, Kuk Sool Won is an extremely well organised system of martial arts which seeks to integrate and explore all aspects of the traditional Korean martial arts.
As a martial arts system, Kuk Sool Won covers the entire spectrum of the traditional Asian fighting arts and techniques of body conditioning, as well as mental development and traditional weapons training.

...Kuk Sool Won also includes the study of healing techniques, the development of internal power and physical conditioning.  Training in Kuk Sool also helps to instill self confidence and self discipline, a calm self assurance, and the psychological and spiritual values which are traditionally associated with the martial art character.  Mental and physical well-being is of primary importance in Kuk Sool Won.
