Kuk Sool WonTM of Half Moon Bay.
...is more than a style. It is a systematic study of the world of martial arts. Some may call it a "hybrid" but they would be mistaken. Kuk Sool Won is a comprehensive study of all of them, weaving them together in fundamental ways providing a complete frame work for your martial arts training and education.

Learning Together.
Many of our students train with their entire families. Mom's, Dads, son's and daughter's learn together, practice together and get promoted together. They encourage and challenge each other to meet thier goals, to learn perseverance. Parents become an example for their children and children find their potential following Mom and Dad. More than 100 coastsiders have graduated to Black Belt level and most of them entire families.
For all ages
Valerie Kruger(68) and her son, Steve(33), are hardworking and dedicated students of Kuk Sool Won.
A family that kicks together,
sticks together.
