DLopez Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Kuk Sool Won demo I found this link of a Kuk Sool Won demo on the web, and while I don't personally know the participants, the forms and techniques are identical at all Kuk Sool Won schools around the world. The form demonstrated is Ki Cho Hyung, the very first form you must learn before you get promoted to yellow belt, followed by numerous joint lock and throwing techniques. His assistants are also demonstrating quite good falling technique, I might add! Then some basic board breaking. Hope you like it!

Draven Chen Zhen Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 DLopez, very nice movie! Kuk Sool Won looks very varied. Some cool moves, like the throwing techniques.

DLopez Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Yes, Kuk Sool is very varied. That's what I like about it. The one thing this video doesn't show is any of the weapons taught in Kuk Sool, but it is still pretty impressive. I'll try to find some weapons videos. BTW - did you notice the demonstrator's low stances? That is very typical for Kuk Sool Won. We concentrate very much on that while training because it strengthens the legs, which is a good thing, especially with kicks! And as you can see, it becomes second nature to just do it like he was in the video! I was watching the videos of you in the early posts, and you've got pretty good technique for only a few months of training! Some people are just naturals (lucky dog!!). It took me about 4 months to get the jumping spin kick (Dia Doh Rah Chaki in Korean) down well enough before I would think of showing it to anyone!!

Draven Chen Zhen Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 lolz, in Kung Fu we also got the low stances, in the beginning very hard to stand that way cause you aren't used to using those muscles. what kind of weapons are there used in Kuk Sool Won?

DLopez Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Well, I understand there are 24 different traditional Korean Royal Court weapons in the curriculum of Kuk Sool Won plus Buddhist and family weaponry. I don't know what all of them are, but here is a short list of the ones I do know about: 1. Sword: short, middle, long, single or double, straight or inverted 2. Staff: short, middle, long, single or double 3. Jool Bong 4. Spear 5. Cane 6. Rope 7. Fan 8. Bow and Arrow We don't start weapons training until brown belt typically, so I am just starting to learn the staff and sword techniques. I really look forward to weapons training night - it's easily my most favorite part of Kuk Sool Won training! No luck finding a weapons demo video online yet, but still searching!

Draven Chen Zhen Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 Oh cool , I'm now learning Staff for the moment. And on my own I'm studing the moves with the nunchaku.
