Kuk Sool Won Seminar pass

A Year 4 boy attended a Kuk Sool Won (KSW, a type of Korean martial arts) seminar near Yeovil. He was one of only 50 invited and was the only attendee aged under 9 to stay for the full three hour adult class (the rest of the under 9s finished after 90 minutes!). He had the opportunity to train with four British Masters and two (out of only five in the world) 9th dahns Grand Masters – John Ives and Alex Suh, the founder’s eldest son. A great masterclass in kicking, grappling and break falls saw him pushed to his limits but he represented himself well and passed the class.
