My first official Kuk Sool Won Black Belt class

Posted by Andy on Jun 12, 2010

I had my first official Kuk Sool Won Black Belt class this week and it was awesome. I’m so looking forward to the coming years and all the new stuff I am going to learn. As a Jyo Kyo Nim, I will learn five new forms, 143 new techniques as well as specialty kicking.

These are my new my new forms:
Joong Bong Il Hyung
Juhng Geum Hyung
Dahn Bong Ship Pahl Dong Jaht
Ki Cho Dahn
Bong Dae Ryuhn
Baek Pahl Ki Hyung

I’m particularly looking forward to learning Juhng Guhm Hyung, the sword form. I’ve watched this hyung being performed by the senior grades for nearly three years and it’s awesome. I’m also looking forward to the challenge of adding 143 new advanced techniques to the 226 I’ve already learnt (and yet to master) during my journey to Jyo Kyo Nim.
