Kuk Sool Won™ is a complete martial arts system dedicated to the cultivation of mental and physical strength, self-defense and the preservation of the traditional Korean martial arts. Kuk Sool Won™ combines kicking, punching, throwing, falling, choking, joint locking and a myriad of weapons techniques into a beautiful, dynamic, 'hard-soft' style, emphasizing speed and fluidity. In conjunction with physical training, other techniques such as meditation and breathing are employed to improve and maintain health. Our students learn self-respect, self-control and self-discipline through self-defense. Kuk Sool Won™ of Pekin offers classes for men, women and children with multiple fitness levels ages 5 and up. All classes are taught by owner and head instructor KSN Michael Yates and his personally trained instructors. KSN Mike trained in different styles of martial arts for 15 years before finding his "home" with Kuk Sool Won™ in 2005. With dedication to training and a “Never Give Up!” attitude, he was promoted to 2nd degree in 2012 and is actively training for his 3rd degree promotion.
The children's classes are broken up into segments containing balance and motor skills improvement, etiquette, self-defense, and game-like drills that incorporate Kuk Sool Won™ concepts. My goal is to teach your child self-confidence, self-discipline, and self-defense. The adult classes are designed for improved coordination, flexibility, weight control, and self-defense. You will learn to defend yourself in any situation, and to react quickly in order to protect your friends and loved ones. You will feel healthier, more flexible, and more in control of your Mind, Body, and Spirit.
