Is kuk sool won good in street fighting?
I've taken KSW, it really is just Hapkido. Supposely it was the "Royal martial arts" (Based on Hwarang warriors) but i find those stories alittle hard to swallow. It is a pretty good mix of self defense, with kicks, punches, joint locks and throws. But like everyone will tell you, its the person not the art. All the arts are good, what makes the difference is how hard the person trains/practice. It takes between 5 -6 years to become a black belt in KSW.
Reply:Kuk Sool is one of the 'original' martial art styles in Korea having been founded over 500 years ago. Tae Kwon Do was founded in 1950.





Almost all Korean styles of fighting emphasized strength and kicking and high jumps. Kuk Sool teaches sword fighting always using 'two swords'.





Kuk Sool is a good style for open terrain on dirt and soft ground while wearing boots or heavy work shoes.





Kuk Sool is a good out-door style and not an 'urban' style with crowds of people and tight environments (apartments, buildings, rooms, alleys, restaraunts, bars, etc.).
Reply:It all depends on the martial artist. I've seen some Kuk Sool Won people that couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag. I've seen other's that will hit you and lock you up before you know what's going on. It depends on how much you train and how dedicated you are.
