Although expert in every aspect of martial arts, Grandmaster Suh is especially renowned for his mastery of pressure point and joint manipulation.Īdditionally, Kuk Sool Won™ has been mentioned in over 300 articles and featured on more than 60 front covers by world famous magazines in the United States, England, Spain, Iran, Germany, Mexico, and Venezuela. His organisation now boasts 1.3 million members with over 800 schools worldwide in 27 different countries. The knowledge he acquired from his grandfather and subsequent masters enabled him to establish Kuk Sool Won™. After his grandfather’s death, he travelled throughout the Far East seeking out and studying additional aspects of the martial arts. He has studied martial arts for more than 50 years, receiving his first instruction from his grandfather, Myung Deuk Suh, a master-instructor to the Korean Royal Court. In Hyuk Suh is the founder, Grandmaster and President of the World Kuk Sool Association®.
