Kuk Sool Won Ki Bon Su - Gene Gause #19

[HaedongKumdoIsaLie]

That's a Korean cult, not a martial art. Just a fabricated tradition.

[CupisHomines]

I never thought kickin' ass would be so graceful. He does it with such elegance.

[brasshandmartialarts]

You can see the chuan fa influenc : )

[ametllet]

Very interesting!!

[devilbro753]

it realy depends on skill level depending on the technique like on #2 he hits the presure point in the wrist and hand and you will learn to use those when you get higher in rank, and they will expect you too use those when you learn them if the instructor gives permission

[alangiedrojc]

some of the techniques may look slightly different now a days, I'm a yellow bel just now and some of them looks a little bit different, I think it may vary from school to school. Although I've Loved Kuk Sool , lost a stone already and feel much more fit and confident.

[formula90II]

Yes, you are correct. They are taught differently from school to school. At the same time, I believe it's encouraged as long as you a) don't do it during tournament and b) you don't stray too far from the original.

The world changes, and therefore martial arts should remain flexible with technique "etiquette." That's why new things are being introduced into Kuk Sool Won.

What you see however, is a lot of of the black belt version of Ki Bohn Su. It's the same but a lot harder. :)

[larr71]

not exactly right. I study KSW. I know in early 90's it was differant than now. It was changed in '98. I also know Kuk Sa Nim does make improvements and changes. Just as we do in life we do in KSW.

[randomassbalaclava]

that and the fact that kuk sa nim changes them sometimes

[tkd4life]

kuk sool ki bon su is very similar to HapKiDo ki bon su, just a little different variation. The numbers are almost identical too. Very beautiful techniques!!

[formula90II]

That's actually because KSW takes stuff from the same historic branch as HKD! Of course they'd be the same! :)

[tkd4life]

Can you say more about that...I want to know more about the history and such, since I practice it. Can you help me out? :)

[larr71]

Yes and no. It is not truly easy to say the same historic branch. The major reason they seem they same. Is the simple fact that the founding grandmaster of Hapkido and Kuk Sa Nim both learned from the same person. Kuk Sa Nim has learned from many masters. BTW this was all roughly pre WWII era. Kuk Sa Nim learned from his grand Father. Who was the last imperial korean royal court. And Kuk Sa Nim and Hapkido were training and traveling together.

There is so much common it is not coinsidence.

[ninetallednaruto14]

kuk sa nim is so cool i miss kuk sool

[ZeroKSW0304]

This video shouldnt be up here kuk sa nim doesnt really like showing this stuff outside the assotiation

[Boldtrash]

#2 is mine. yay black belt. i like samoksul better (i think i spelled that right).

[OhNoPaypal]

#8 and #15 is my favorate.

[b3EndOfTheWorld]

Just did this earlier today in a club style thing. I'm definitely sticking around, i love this stuff.

[monstermorrill]

neet. i just took my first class today and I love it. That first move they were just starting to show us when class ended. Also, whats with the white gi? I thought all students wore a black do bak (did i spell that right?)

[1950yarr]

@ZeroKSW0304 they wear the color of mourning and death? I think not.

[lostgrl06]
