My kids have attending Kuk Sool Won for years. The instructor and his son make a fantastic team. They are both great at relating to kids and getting them to focus on the instruction. In addition to being great at instructing the kids, they work very hard on establishing a community with their students by hosting movie nights, swim parties and pumpkin carving events. The belt ceremonies are done well and the kids know they have to earn a new belt and that belts and stripes aren't just given. read more

Kuk Sool Won - Store front - Karate Near Me - Taylors, South Carolina

If you are an adult who's ever had an interest in Martial Arts or are looking for a place to involve your kids in a healthy and productive after school activity, I highly recommend Kuk Sool Won of Greenville. I've been attending classes there for almost 3 years and have gained much more than my initial goals of learning self defense and adding in a great fitness routine (which you will definitely receive here). Along with physical strength, my mental strength, personal discipline, and self-confidence have all been positively impacted by my experience there. Not to mention, the meaningful relationships and friendships that I've been able to make along the way. The instructors are a father and son team who work well together and are extremely patient with both new students and those of us that have been around for awhile. The classes are challenging, but always focused on encouraging growth in their students both physically and mentally. The classes last about an hour and always begin with a heavy amount of warm-ups and stretching (I'm typically already breaking a sweat at this point). They usually incorporate review of basic movements in an aerobic fashion that gets your heart rate up and helps to hammer in a good foundation to which you build your entire practice off of. The introduction of new material is not overwhelming as they give you time to work on perfecting each new technique or movement with your peers or even with students who are higher ranking that can assist you in areas they have already mastered. As a higher colored belt myself, this has been helpful to me in that I have to make sure I really know my stuff so that I can best assist those who are learning around me. The Masters themselves then take special one on one time with each student to review their work and make the corrections that prepare us for having to execute the practice in a real world experience (for example, learning the proper way to fall can come in pretty handy if you trip or wreck your bicycle). The class sizes currently range from around 10-15 people per class so there is the ability to get that one on one instruction. My children are a little too young, but they love watching me and can't wait to join the classes themselves. They also have several families who take classes WITH their kids all together. It's a pretty cool family activity :). Definitely stop in and check them out! read more
