Kuk Sool Won Kirkcaldy Martial Arts

Fantastic experience: I love Kuk Sool Won Kirkcaldy and Master Graeme Temple, that teaches there. My son loves it, and besides improving the body, it also improves mind and behaviour. I'm very thankful.

Fantastic experience: One word description would be, amazing! I accidentally came into this club, I misunderstood and thought they had different classes for the different styles and I was interested in finding my 10 years old girl a Judo club, and that has been one of the best mistakes I have ever done , just incredible; As an ex professional Judo player I also must say that not only am I impressed by the dedication delivered by The Master but I am also very glad to have found a place for my self after all these years and countries in search for 1. Update: 1 year after I started training and honestly, I just never expected to feel so comfortable ❤️

Fantastic experience: I have been training here since 2018 and I'm still going here and all I have to say is this place is brilliant and very friendly. My family started here before me and I was wanting to join kuk sool ever since they joined,i was a eager kid like any other kid would be and when I joined along I did not regret that option of joining. Not only did I see improvement of my attitude but I also saw improvement in my strength and flexibility and how I treat others. The dojang treats everyone like their family so it's nice to see that and you can make friends along the way through your journey and have fun while improving.

Fantastic experience: Ksw Kirkcaldy is a brilliant, open door, welcoming martial arts club. The head instructor Graeme and his students are fantastic.

Fantastic experience: After a 3 year hiatus I returned to kuk sool and joined KSW Kirkcaldy. This club is exceptionally good!

Fantastic experience: Great classes! My daughter has been going for a couple of years now and loves it!

I recommend Graeme and his team to anyone looking for martial art classes.

Fantastic experience: Such a fantastic institution! It’s has brought so much confidence to my otherwise shy and timid boy.

Kuk Sool Won isn't only just martial arts it’s help improves so many other life skills such discipline, confidence, drive! Keep up the great work Graeme you really are making such a big difference for our youth!

Fantastic experience: So pleased we found this club for our son to join. From the minute he joined he was welcomed into a fully inclusive hardworking team that truly all love what they do. The instructors are so friendly, happy and supportive and it oozes down to the kids along with the core values of respect and discipline which is hard to find anywhere in this day and time. First class experience!

Fantastic experience: Great teaching friendly atmosphere. My daughter enjoys training and looks forward to attending every week twice.We are very pleased to have such experience and professional instructors -Teaching methods deserve more than 5 starts.

Fantastic experience: Unbelievable Journey! I started training at Kuk Sool Won Kirkcaldy in April 2012, actively competing throughout the ranks, and with great success. The club ethos is to make everyone the best version of themselves, and I believe this is very true. The club maintains the traditional values but with a very fresh and modern approach. Everyone is made to feel exceptionally welcome and encouraged to take the next step out their comfort zone in the safest and most positive way. Kuk Sool Won is for all ages and levels of ability, which is evident in the diversity of it's students and instructors. More than just kicking and punching, KSW aims to develop athleticism and positive mind growth. Contrary to a lot of posts I see, walking through our doors is the easiest thing you'll ever do!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic club. My daughter joined in October and two weeks ago won 3 medals at her very first competition. High standard, discipline and most importantly incredible masters leading the way. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Excellent

Fantastic experience: I’ve been enjoying Kuk Sool Won a lot. Life circumstances has made me stop training, but I’m truly missing it. Greame is a GREAT instructor and KSW is very interesting martial art. If I ever get some spare time again I’ll come back for sure!

Fantastic experience: Phenomenal place to better yourself. Everyone is so inviting and willing to help. The facilities are brilliant and the teaching is top-notch! The club was founded by Graeme Temple, who is one of the greatest people to ever grace this Earth. His knowledge of the art and of the human body is second to none. I find this is a great way to develop fitness and self-defence abilities as well as discipline If you get the chance, contact Master Graeme Temple for free lessons to see if this martial art system is for you. Check out the website for more information and for contact details.

Fantastic experience: Kuk Sool Won Kirkcaldy is awesome! Take my 11 year old daughter there and she loves it. The instructors are fantastic and there is a real family vibe within the club. Great environment for kids and adults.

Fantastic experience: During lockdown I had the pleasure of completing an online stretching course ran by PKJN Graeme. His knowledge of both anatomy and martial arts along with his friendly approach to teaching resulted in a very enjoyable and beneficial experience. More recently PKJN Graeme was my chief instructor during a National Kuk Sool Won test. The feedback and encouragement provided both during and after the test is invaluable as I work towards my next promotion. If you’re local to Kirkcaldy and looking for a martial arts club, Kuk Sool Won of Kirkcaldy should be your first stop.

Fantastic experience: If you want to do Mixed Martial Arts - this is the place to go!! We are greatly thankful to the trainers for being such outstanding individuals. Their respect towards every single parent is greatly appreciated. Kids don't just train here. They become a better person in many aspects of life. Its like being part of a small family that makes sure to cheer each person on as they gain new skills and further develop old ones. The vibe we feel when we go to the tournaments and cheer each other on is absolutely amazing. Thank you for being so dedicated, capable and thank you for your patience with our kids.

Fantastic experience: Superb, friendly club, offering a very high level of knowledge and experience. No macho, ego nonsense either. Good fun as well! Can't recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: My daughter Amberly started Kuk Sool Won in kirkcaldy back in August/September 2021. Lockdown had hit her harder than we thought and she had lost a lot of confidence (which was very unlike her) and she was struggling to deal with all the constant changes being in and out of school and change to routine and structure. I found the club luckily through a Google search and since starting kuk sool won she has found a focus, passion and her confidence has grown massively again! We are so happy to see the smile on her face and she comes out of every lesson absolutely buzzing. She has taken time in her own free time to practise her martial art and also to start learning Korean Her fitness is amazing and she has built muscle incredibly! She was lucky enough recently to go to the WKSA UK Tournament in Liverpool after only a few months of practising KSW and won herself 3 silver medals and you could not wipe the smile off her face! Was so amazing to see the confidence and pride in my little girl. We cannot thank Graeme and all the instructors and team enough for all the hard work, time and commitment they give to help the kids and to pass on all their knowledge! If you're on the fence don't hesitate to join this great community, they do an amazing job and we cannot wait to join Amberly and the club! We are very proud of her!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic quality of teaching. A positive and encouraging atmosphere. Classes can be challenging but fun.

Fantastic experience: Kuk Sool Won in Kirkcaldy has finally got their own premises custom built and they are excellent. It's the place most martial arts clubs only dream about. So this is the perfect time to start Kuk Sool Won. I recommend Kuk Sool Won (Kirkcaldy).

Fantastic experience: Kuk Sool Won Kirkcaldy I will recommend to anyone. My son joined few months ago and he doesn't regret! Very welcoming instructors made my son part of team for the first time. A variety of different techniques on each training make classes more interesting. Black belts often show advanced techniques (also with weapons) it is a great motivation what can be achieve! Big thank you to Sa Bum Nim (4th degree) Greame Temple (owner and main instructor and sport therapist) who not only tell what you are doing wrong but show and explain in detail proper way. Easy way to understand for my son. Greame have incredible knowledge and a lot of patience. Greame is very devotion to Kuk Sool Won also he is an excellent teacher! KSW is a place where you can improve your body strength but also mental health. Respect, discipline and etiquette are part of training as philosophy not forced by anyone. My son started at new facilities and is amazing! Everything is clean, fresh and ready to use. Communications between new member and instructors is excellent. Quick response. To be honest great place is made by great peopel and in KSW Kirkcaldy is full of them. I'm a very happy mum that my son is a member of that Marital Art Club!

Fantastic experience: My family and I have been part of this great club from over 2 years and it's been a great journey so for. It is really impressive to see our children's progress, getting stronger, more flexible and the most important more confident. A big THANK YOU to SBN Graeme Temple (our instructor) and the black belts who always has been there for us teaching and sharing their experiences with us.

Fantastic experience: A good man/ woman is the one who has control over life's sudden unpleasant circumstances, To adapt, adjust, be confident and learn to succeed is exactly what i gained and still learning from KSW classes. Frankly life knocked me down so hard, never though of living the same again, but through the classes I managed to stand again, learn to accept and how to be accept, at the end of the day we al share a valuable moral: we are a family and a family stick together no matter what. Massive thank you to SBN Graeme Temple and everyone sweat in those classes to make a difference.

Fantastic experience: I joined the club back in 2014 after trying out few other martial arts clubs around Kirkcaldy none were as inviting or as well organized as Kuk Sool Won Kirkcaldy. KSW is a comprehensive fighting style which means it includes a bit of everything, you’ll get a chance to learn more practical fighting such as sparring, grappling, kicks, punches and a wide arsenal of techniques. You’ll also get a chance to do the art part of martial arts which includes proper breathing exercises, acrobatics and KSW forms. The club instructor is a well of knowledge not only a 4th dan black belt, he’s also a sports therapist, with this understanding of the human body he knows what it takes to turn you into a badass warrior. The club also has an expert grappler and a police officer who are more then happy to share what they have learned to help improve your self-defense skills. Since joining the club I’ve become more fitter, healthier and happier not only as it improved me physically, but I’ve gained the knowledge of ways to improve my lifestyle too!

Fantastic experience: Both kids go it's a friendly environment that's focused on getting the best out of its students - brilliant for helping get kids active in a fun and engaging way

Fantastic experience: What an amazing place to be, the gang has become a second family to me. Everyone is very welcoming and helpful, my only regret is not starting it sooner. Would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I didn't start kuk sool until my mid 30's and I wish I had started sooner ! I have seen a big improvement in my flexibility, strength, fitness and general movement. The classes are always varied and challenging, you will be pushed to your limits but never forced to do anything you do not want to do. It's great seeing people develop and achieving things they never thought possible. Graeme is a fantastic instructor with a huge amount of knowledge and skills and seems to be able to break everything down into its simplest form making it easier to understand and learn. This is a great club run by great people, you will be made to feel welcome and are helped and encouraged every step of the way.

Fantastic experience: Truly one of life’s ageless activities. Irrespective of age or ability I’ve found it just keeps on giving. Aerobics, stretching, balance, general fitness, increased confidence, self defence, just take from it what you will and go at the pace that suits. In my Mid 60’s and starting to feel like I’m back in my 40’s.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended!!! Great classes

Fantastic experience: Kuk Sool Won Kirkcaldy is an excellent club, well run by positive and dedicated instructors. I started out watching the impact this club had on my son, after a while I also chose to give it a try, which was an excellent decision. I am quite a slow learner when something needs coordination, but Kuk Sool allows you to learn at your own pace. I have also found it a friendly welcoming group, we all have very different existing skills and natural abilities. I struggle most with flexibility, but it is an area I have been improving. I also never imagined taking it up that I'd be able to land a punch front somersault, but it is possible. Opportunities to learn and excel are everywhere and there is a great ethos of passion for excellence. The instructors, led by SBN Graeme, provide encouragement and guidance. You will get out more than you feel you put in, so long as you are trying your best. I have also found that regular practice, even when I don't make it to class improves my ability to think clearly and make better decisions, which is an unexpected benefit. Practice is encouraged. It is amazing what you can learn, even when school and college are a long way behind you. Kuk Sool helped restart my passion for lifelong learning. My goal: to be better tomorrow than today, I know that learning with Kuk Sool Won Kirkcaldy will help me get there.

Fantastic experience: My step son has autism and we were looking at clubs for him to try and we came across kuk sool he was made to feel welcome and all the instructors were great with him. His attitued,respect,social skills and fitness has majorly improved. He has also entered every competition he can and regulary gets golds. This is down to hard work and the dedication of the instructors. Myself after watching my son for a year thought i would give it a try and i only wish i had done it sooner! I feel like i am part of a family at kuk sool. I look forward to going to class and wish i could make more... but hey work gets in the way of all fun things in life. Every class is different and theres not one class that i leave from not learning something new or achieving something. Its a great place to learn new things,socialise and get fit. If you are reading these reviews because your thinking about coming along.... just do it! Dont regret starting later like i did.

Fantastic experience: I started kuk sool in September 2014 and from my first class there everyone is so friendly and helpful. The instructor Sa Bum Nim (4th degree) Graeme has really helped me with confidence in my ability both physically and mentally of being a martial artist. His way of breaking things down and explaining in detail is second to none. His devotion to kuk sool won and his students has given us great training and education which is getting passed onto the black belts of the club

Fantastic experience: After my first Kuk Sool Won class I was hooked, I bought the uniform that night and it has become so much more than my initial expectation, of a way to keep fit. I have progressed from a white belt (with no experience of any martial art) to now a 1st degree black belt and now have the pleasure of teaching beginners in class. I’ve enjoyed participating in competitions and meeting people from all over the world who share my interest in Kuk Sool Won. The class is more than a place to practice with others, I’ve built good friendships which exist out with the class with great people and there’s typically a class social event or two that I look forward to also. Everyone is welcoming and friendly and I would encourage anyone looking for a new activity, or to increase fitness or with an interest in martial arts or to try something new to come join Kuk Sool Won Kirkcaldy - it’s the best! From a white belt who never quit!

Fantastic experience: I came to my very first class in 2012, I was looking for some sport activity as I sit at work whole day and I felt unfit. Since this time Kuk Sool Won has became my journey. I love the variety of this martial art as it is not just kicking and punching, but you will learn much more, as self deffence, pressure points, techniques, and my favourite - practising with weapons. You will improve your fitness level and confidence. The club is hugely friendly and everyone is always welcome. I made lots of friends and we meet out of classes too on different social events, as Xmas night out or Summer camps. I would recommend this club to anyone, who wants to be active and learn great meaningful martial art. Come along and give it a try

Fantastic experience: I started my Kuk Sool journey in August 2012 when the club was only a year old. From the first class I knew it was the martial art and the club for me. Etiquette, respect and discipline are major parts of any martial art but it has never been forced upon me or any other student. It is gained by the instructors and passed down from student to student as they progress through the ranks. My fitness has never been better and my understanding of fitness and body awareness continues to grow. Something I find very important as I get older. I've made friends that I would otherwise never have met and taken part in competitions I never dreamed of going to. All in all I am hugely grateful to SBN Graeme for bringing Kuk Sool Won to Kirkcaldy and providing an environment which is rich in learning and support.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Kuk Sool Won Kirkcaldy for nearly eight years. The club helped bring me out out of my shell and turn me into a true martial artist. There is always a friendly atmosphere for all ages and backgrounds as well as some of the best instruction I have ever had.

Fantastic experience: I have been a student of Kuk Sool Won Kirkcaldy for 7 years now. For my first class I was nervous about joining a new group but was made to feel welcome straight away. Everyone joins for their own reasons, be it for fitness, to meet a new group of friends or even if (like me) a black belt was a life long dream. But whatever your motivation you will find success at KSW Kirkcaldy. Everyone is friendly and our club doesn't just start and stop with class times. We hold regular social events like Christmas parties, summer BBQ's and even just meeting up for a few drinks. There's never any pressure to attend but everyone is always welcome if you do. The club is a genuine family, we work hard and have lots of fun. The first class is free so if you have ever had any interest at all in trying a martial art, why not get in touch to arrange your first lesson. Who knows where it might lead!

Fantastic experience: I have been doing kuk sool won for 7 years and have enjoyed it every step of the way. I would highly recommend it I have made new friends along the way. I felt very welcome at my first class and never looked back. I have achieved my 1st degree black belt and now I am training for my 2nd degree.
