Won Kuk Sool

Kuk Sool Won is the most complete and comprehensive martial art I've found in the Rochester area. The focus is on a healthy lifestyle, real-world self-defense techniques and the exploration of traditional Korean philosophies. In Kuk Sool, you do a lot more than just kicking and punching. We learn acrobatics, throws, grapples, joint locks, pressure points, weapons, traditional forms, meditation and more. All of this is designed to boost your confidence, increase your speed and flexibility and reduce stress.



I started training at their Webster, NY studio in 2001, and have nothing but praise for the owner, Master Gary, the instructors and my fellow students. The studio is large and well-maintained and the location is convenient for anyone who lives in the Webster, Penfield, Irondequoit, Fairport and city areas. I live in Victor, NY and take the 20-minute drive to Kuk Sool twice a week, and in my opinion its well worth it!



I highly recommend Kuk Sool Won for people of all ages and abilities. There are dedicated children's classes that build self-esteem, discipline and give kids a healthy after-school activity. Teens and young adults will find plenty of fun in the hundreds of intricate self-defense techniques offered. And older adults will still be able to participate, and will actually find Kuk Sool improves their flexibility, joints and endurance.
