Kuk Sool of California is a comprehensive martial arts system that is derived from the rich and varied martial arts techniques and traditions that have arisen in Korea through the ages. Kuk Sool is not a sport, nor is it simply another oriental self-defense method. Kuk Sool is a complete martial art that is dedicated to the cultivation of mental, physical strength and well being, and to the preservation of traditional Korean martial arts. Kuk Sool combines kicking, punching, throwing, falling, choking, joint-locking, and a myriad of weapons techniques into a beautiful and dynamic "hard-soft" style emphasizing speed and fluidity. Physical training, mediation, breathing, acupressure and acupuncture techniques are employed to improve and maintain health and to develop internal power, self-control, loyalty, and respect for others. Together these aspects of Kuk Sool provide the means for attaining a long and healthy life.


How would it feel to be in your best physical shape, to lose weight, or just tone your body? Would you like to develop strength, flexibility and coordination, and learn some self-defense at the same time? Do you want to improve your powers of concentration and self-control? Training in traditional martial arts will help you achieve total fitness without being bored. There is always something exciting to learn. The benefits you receive from Tae Bo and Cardio Kick are included in traditional martial arts training. Going to a gym, you do not receive the same personal attention and supervision. Mr. White has the eyes of a hawk, and monitors your progress closely. In every class session, Mr. White gives you the personal support you will not get at a gym. The study of martial arts is more than just a sport or a fitness class. It is a way of life. Meditation, development of self-discipline and proper breathing exercise along with physical training in kicking, punching, joint-locking, falling, throwing, and sparring are all part of Kuk Sool. Your rising feelings of self-esteem and confidence will positively affect other aspects of your life. Students are encouraged to advance at their own pace.
Private lessons and an individualized training program are available.
