What makes Kuk Sool different from other martial arts like Karate?

The major difference between Kuk Sool and individual martial art styles like Karate, TaeKwonDo, Hapkido, Aikido, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Jiu Jitsu, Kung Fu, or Judo, is that the curriculum of Kuk Sool Won™ is an enormous collection of martial art skills that is intended not as a “style”, but rather as a structured system of training in virtually all aspects of martial art.

Most martial art styles are limited to certain types of techniques (eg. Karate is mostly kicking and striking, Judo is mostly throwing, Aikido is mostly joint manipulation, etc). Kuk Sool, however, is a complete system and covers all aspects of martial arts and body conditioning.

Also, many styles that people consider martial (such as Kickboxing, Judo, Tae Kwon Do, etc) are not martial arts at all, but are instead martial sports. In order to be considered a martial art, a system must provide benefits on three different levels: Physical, mental, and spiritual / emotional. Kuk Sool Won™ has a curriculum that is specifically designed to fulfill all of these criteria.

Kuk Sool is not designed as a sporting activity. It is derived from all of the martial arts of Korea and its techniques are taught for personal protection through the control of the attacker. The student of Kuk Sool Won™ receives detailed instuction in human anatomy and physiology in order to learn the weakness of the attacker's body and the strengths of their own through the most efficient use of their own body weight, musculature, and angle of motion. Attention is also given to psychological considerations, which might be utilized for self-defense. Kuk Sool is designed along a structured, detailed regimen of principles and techniques that will allow the serious student a lifetime of learning.
