Terminology
As a traditional martial art, instruction in Kuk Sool Won™ is given in both Korean and English. Because Korean (Hangul, the great language) uses a different alphabet than English, the English spellings are phonetic approximations. Please consult with a native Korean speaker for proper pronounciation.
