MARTIAL ARTS & FITNESS - WE BUILD CONFIDENCE - 2 WEEKS FREE - SELF DISCIPLINE - RESPECT (5+) MARTIAL ARTS CLASSES - Aintree: Opinions
Fantastic experience: The instructors and whole crew here are very polite, respectful, and well-behaved. They create a welcoming environment and make the classes enjoyable and comfortable. Highly recommend!
Thank you for your kind message sir! We are happy you are happy.
Negative experience: Do not recommend. I found the atmosphere very strict and not particularly friendly. During this summer holidays, my daughter came in plain black sports clothes instead of her uniform and I explained the situation to the female owner Natalie and asked permission to my daughter to train without uniform that day, but she did not allow her to take part in the class. I accepted that rules are rules, but I explained that the school approach and style was too rigid for us and said we would not continue after the notice month (place charges £79 monthly + £180 joining fee). My daughter was by my side and we agreed with that and left the place. For my surprise, the next morning day, I received a phone call from the male owner Carl Barrie who accused me of being “aggressive” whit his wife Natalie and even threatened police involvement if I step on the premises again. He was not even there when I gave the cancellation notice and me and my little boy have never met him. The so-called “bad attitude” was for expressing that the school’s strict rules isn’t for us and that I wanted to finalize the contract. A parent expressing a view, even if it is critical, should not be equated with hostility. If you are looking for an almost military-style environment, this school may suit you. If you value warmth and open communication, you may find it less welcoming. ** Thank you for your response Master, It only shows your abusive and arrogant character, creating false allegations against me and my child. You man called me and started shouting at me in the phone telling lies. You falsely accused me of being aggressive toward the staff and said if I step in your premises to talk face-to-face I was going to be prosecuted and threatened me with police involvement? Aggressive behaviour and harassment are concerns that definitely cannot be tolerated and formal report and proper steps need to be taken. I wish I had been warned with honest reviews before get into this place that also charges a £1 for a small bottle of water for the kids and them need permission to use the toilet, but it seems that the true and critical reviews ones are deleted, like you did on Instagram. I decided to leave after the 2 months experience and already found a much better and welcoming place. Best of luck after you pay the £160 joining fee. Ps. The joining fee is £160, sorry for the typo. The lovely lady you mentioned is my 80 yo mother. I do have a lovely family and It’s not nice of you spreading lies.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review Bianca.
Our intention is always for people to have the best experience that we can give them, however we appreciate that we might not always get it right if they can’t adhere to, or understand the reasons for our rules.
We are not a school that only teaches kicks and punches, if we were then we would charge a lot less in fees. However, as we are specialists in teaching children vital life skills that they cannot get from other sports, schools or super markets; there is a reason why we charge more for the 2 decades of experience that we have in this area.
I understand that if we don’t let a student train that it can be frustrating for the parent however if we are teaching children discipline, then students only being allowed to train whilst in their uniform is one way that this is re-enforced. I’m sure that if children turned up to regular mainstream school in non uniform that there would be consequences. We are also firm believers in that there are standard rules that everyone should adhere too so if we let your daughter off, then we also have to let everyone else off – then there would be a break down in people wearing their uniforms.
We also understand that the rule of making sure that siblings are behaving themselves may be another that is too strict for you as we have mentioned many times, turning up 30 minutes before class and letting your other son charge around, shouting and disrupting other people is not what we, or other parents, expect.
We also do not expect parents to show aggressive behaviour to any of our staff, regardless of the situation. If you tell us that you are going to quit but still want to turn up for the last 2 classes so you can “cause trouble” for us, we do not see the point in that, which is why we suggested that you don’t turn up. As was explained to you when you joined, there is a 30 day cancellation notice if you do want to quit (as we appreciate that people change their mind) and we have offered to waive this for you as a good will gesture.
It has been a pleasure to teach your daughter and to help her to overcome any issues for which you initially brought her to us to help with.
We wish you all the success in the future.
Fantastic experience: Ive been attending the adult classes and my only regret is I wish I started years earlier! I've become a more confident and mentally resilient person since I started and met some really cool people along the way. Everything is built with an emphasis on respect for yourself and for others here, which makes it an extremely positive, supportive and welcoming place to be. The tuition and instruction is brilliant not only in the physical aspect but also mentally. It encompasses various aspects of martial arts such as strikes, throws, forms, techniques and much more which keeps it really interesting and fun! If you are on the fence like I was and thinking of giving it a try, honestly just do it! You wont regret it, and will be doing forms in your kitchen before you know it
Thank you Jordon. We are really happy we are helping!
Fantastic experience: I joined kuk sool just over a year ago it was one of the best decisions ive made ive become more confidence and built on my strength since ive joined my fitness has improved alot more overall its a fun place to be
Brilliant Keira! I’m glad you are seeing results!
Fantastic experience: I have been at kuk sool one liverpool for about 10 years. I can say with certainly that it is a very welcoming place with amazing instructors. I originally joined to stay healthy and a learn a versatile martial art and both of those areas have been covered well.
Thank you Matthew. We love having you here
Fantastic experience: A Life-Changing Experience! When I was a kid, I always dreamed of learning martial arts, but between studies and other commitments, I never had the time. Every time I passed a martial arts school, that childhood desire would resurface. However, I was cautious—I didn’t want to join just any school. I believe that if you learn something the wrong way the first time, it's incredibly hard to unlearn it later. That’s why I’m so glad I found this school as my first choice. I was immediately impressed by the structure of the programme, especially the Positive Start programme, which gave me the perfect foundation and confidence to transition into the main classes with Master Carl. Master Carl isn’t just a skilled martial arts instructor—he’s also an incredible life coach. His teaching goes far beyond physical techniques. He emphasizes confidence, self-discipline, and respect, which has helped me grow not just as a martial artist, but as a person. I was recently promoted to a new belt, and it was one of the most unforgettable days of my life. Here, belts are truly earned through hard work and consistent effort. The instructors are welcoming and incredibly supportive, which made it so much easier for me to settle into classes when I was just starting. If you’ve ever wanted to learn martial arts, don’t let age or hesitation stop you. I started in my 30s and I’m still enjoying every single session, learning new skills each week. You’re never too late to start!
Thank you Nadeesha . I’m happy we have made a positive impact on you !
Fantastic experience: I started my Kuk Sool journey nearly 6 months ago at this point, so far it’s been an all round positive experience and I’m already noticing the results of my efforts. As someone who has struggled with low confidence, body weight issues and my mental health, it was a massive step for me to even put my foot in the door to get the ball rolling, I thought I was too old and too unfit to start but I’m glad that I did. The classes and the people there are extremely supportive, non-judgmental and very welcoming. Master Carl is a strong but fair leader who along with the other instructors will push you to be the best version of yourself, for yourself, both physically and mentally. There is also a good balance and variety of elements within the classes from fitness, stretches, forms and techniques to sparring, self defence and even meditation. Joining the school is one of the best decisions I’ve made in years, the feeling of accomplishment I had when I earned my first belt was awesome and will be the first of many. If you’re on the fence about giving it a go, as I was, just get in touch with them for a taster session and you won’t look back
Thank you for your kind message Sam. Let’s keep hitting your goals!
Fantastic experience: For me, it’s moving meditation, therapy and a workout rolled into one. It is the time each week I look forward to. Once I step on the mat, I get to forget about everything else and focus on myself. You will learn, you will grow, you will be challenged and you will wish you had started sooner. Make a commitment to yourself and give martial arts a try.
Thank you Graeme! Glad it’s a healthy escape for you !
Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been training at this martial arts class for a year now, and it’s been an absolute game-changer for me. At 14, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but what I’ve gained goes way beyond just learning how to throw a punch or kick. The self-defense techniques they teach are practical, effective, and tailored to real-life situations. I’ve learned how to protect myself, stay aware of my surroundings, and handle pressure—skills that make me feel so much safer and more prepared in everyday life. But what’s surprised me the most is the confidence I’ve built. It’s not just about being able to defend myself; it’s about the mental strength and calmness that come with it. I walk taller, speak more clearly, and feel like I can handle challenges—both in and out of the dojo. The instructors are incredible at pushing you to your limits while still making you feel supported and capable. If you’re looking to learn self-defense, get in shape, or just boost your confidence, this place is it. It’s challenging, rewarding, and honestly feels like a second home. I can’t recommend it enough!
Thank you for sharing Rehan. What a wonderful, positive post! See you tomorrow on the floor
Fantastic experience: Amazing place! would definitely recommend I am a black belt in kuk sool won and I would have never have gotten there without JIKJN Carl and SBN Natalie thank you sir/mam !!
Thank you for your kind Luca !
Fantastic experience: I have been attending Kuk Sool Won for nearly a decade now and it has been one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. Turning 18 recently, it has given me the confidence and discipline I’ve needed to excel in every part of my life as well as confidence in self defence while growing into adulthood, being a great source of stability and community with incredible, friendly faces everywhere. The owners are amazing, dedicated and are constantly investing back in the school.
Thank you Ben. It’s our pleasure to have you. We are happy you are happy
Fantastic experience: Kuk Sool won has made me a lot fitter and has got me out of the house. It has also increased my muscle memory and confidence and along with all that you also have a blast.
Fantastic experience: I started kuk sool won 2 years ago after being diagnosed with PTSD and depression. Both my sons attend and have done so for many years, however being 46 years of age I thought I was too old to start something new, but my eldest son persuaded me to give it a go and I have never looked back. Master Carl and his instructors are quite simply amazing, my fitness and more importantly my mental health has improved to the point were I am no longer on anti depressant medication. I can't recommend kuk sool won highly enough, if you want to get fit improve your mental health and learn a new skill that will benefit you no matter how old you are, give kuk sool won a try.
Thank you Jon sir. We are more than happy we have impacted you in a positive way. Let’s work towards your goals & smash them
Fantastic experience: I started my kook sool won journey in January this year and I can honestly say it was a very positive decision ,after the death of my brother I was not in a good place. I had a conversation with master carl and he encouraged me to come to the gym.i took the free first lesson and really enjoyed it .the instructors Natalie and Liam welcomed me and are very friendly and show total commitment in teaching their students...in the time I've attended kook sool won it has helped me in a number of ways including memory, strength,flexibility, and weight loss...over the 10 months I have attended I have moved up the ranks and now am a blue belt recently moving into master Karl's class....master carl has a certain ora about him and is totally dedicated in teaching his students he is a true professional in what he does and I look forward to climbing the ranks further under his supervision thank you kook sool won
Thank you Liam. Such a powerful message.
Looking forward to to you hitting your goals and beyond. It’s our pleasure to have you as a student. We are always here for you sir
Fantastic experience: I started Kuk sool won in Liverpool back in 2013 at the age of 30. I had done previous martial arts before but never managed to stick them out. 10 years on and I am still loving every class, it’s helped me in my low times and kept me focused to battle through, it’s made more confident in work and my personal life and helped me achieve my goals. Everyone there is friendly and welcoming. And if you want to learn a traditional martial arts which focuses on everything from self defence techniques to acrobatics, respect and etiquette to weapons training. If you want to get fit, learn a new skill, be more confident and grow as a person give Kuk Sool Won a try you won’t regret it.
Thank you Roger for your kind message
Fantastic experience: I'm 66 years young and started with Liverpool Kuk Sool Won a little over a year ago. I was looking for a way to keep fit and learn self defence techniques. I stumbled upon this martial art quite by chance after googling self defence near me. I contacted and Master Carl called me. We arranged a taster session after which I was hooked. So what's Kuk Sool Won done for me thus far? A number of things spring to mind. It's given me the confidence to know that, even at 65 plus, I can do this. Twice a week I get to train with people of all abilities at a pace that suits me. My fitness, flexibility and strength have improved greatly. Self belief is higher than its ever been. As for my mental health and overall wellbeing, it's never been better. The support and good old fashioned respect demonstrated by all, is so refreshing in our modern busy lives.. Reminds me of what life should be about. I can honestly hand on heart, and without reservation, recommend Kuk Sool Won Liverpool to all.
Such a wonderful review from a wonderful gentleman. Thank you Frank sir. It’s our pleasure to teach you We are happy you are happy and getting many benefits from classes.
Fantastic experience: Kuk sool won Liverpool is a brilliant place to learn and practice a traditional Korean martial art ranging from martial fitness to self defence hand strikes and kicks it’s got a friendly atmosphere and brilliant instructors who are always there to help it’s great for mental health and great for fitness Master Carl always makes his students welcome and is always there to share his advise and knowledge I would highly recommend KSW to anyone who wants to get fit, learn something new or just come along and train in great a dojang with great people I can’t wait to spend many more years learning and growing as I continue my journey thankyou Kuk sool won Liverpool
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Kuk Sool Won of Liverpool to anybody who is wanting to develop their physical fitness and mental well-being. Master Carl is respectful, wise and knowledgable. He creates a safe space each class whereby every student, irrespective of their age, gender or background is made to feel welcome and valued. There is a number of skilled instructors who ensure each student feels nurtured. Master Carl and the instructors are patient and understanding of each students individual development. The syllabus consists of hand strikes, kicks, sparring, weapon training, attack and defence techniques and martial forms just to name a few. There is also opportunities to learn about Korean culture and learn some of the Korean language. I find Kuk Sool Won very rewarding. Since joining in June 2022, I have completed multiple gradings, competed in a tournament and attended seminars with the Grand Master of Kuk Sool Won. I have made friends with the other students who are always supportive and genuinely want to see each other succeed. My confidence has massively improved since joining and as a result I’ve noticed that my work performance, personal relationships and mental health have done the same. I would encourage anybody who is interesting in trying something new to start Kuk Sool Won of Liverpool. In addition to the physical and mental health benefits, it’s a great place to make friends and get to know like minded, friendly and supportive people.
Thank you Anthony for your kind words. We are happy you are benefiting from classes.
Fantastic experience: Granddaughter love's going every week and I can see her confidence growing every week..thank you kuk sool ..
Such a wonderful message. It’s our pleasure Thank you
Positive experience: Not the best place in my opinion. High prices especially for a 45 minute class consisting of basically just a warm up.
Hi Gabi thanks for leaving a review. However, we are slightly confused as we don’t have any record of you attending any of our classes.
With each of our age specific programs, it’s important for us to warm up our students to prevent injuries before they go on to participate in the bulk of the class, whether this is weapons work, self defence skills, ground work, pad work, bag work, fitness training, partner drills, life skills training, patterns, application work or developing students traditional kicks and punches.
We do charge more than a lot of other schools, this is true. However not may other schools have a 5,000 sq ft dedicated full time location and we teach way more than kicks and punches. Instead we prefer to help our students to develop skills that will help them all through their life, such as the confidence to stand up for themselves, the self discipline to learn to always do their best and perseverance so they don’t quit when times get tough. This is all on top of helping people to learn how to protect themselves.
Oh and we also make sure that people have fun too.
Whilst we disagree with your opinion, we respect the fact that everyone is entitled to their own.
Have a great day!
Fantastic experience: I started attending Kuk Sool Won just over a year ago in January of 2022. Coming from a martial arts background in my childhood I was amazed at how efficiently the school was run. I very quickly started to see improvements in my flexibility my confidence as a person and my overall physical performance and physique. The school has incredible facilities that are hard to find in modern day martial arts, a fantastic syllabus to learn from and an even better team of instructors to help you become the best individual you can be. Whilst being at university I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and start a completely fresh style of martial arts, Kuk Sool Won has been worth every penny and I will continue to attend even after I finish my degree. Everyone is welcome at this school, there is a wide range of ages in all of their classes and completely gender inclusive. Kuk Sool Won family are growing closer and closer every class and anyone who attends would feel welcome and supported every step of the way.
Thank you Jonah . You are STILL doing amazing and thank you for your kind words. Apologies it’s so late replying on here
Fantastic experience: Kuk Sool Won Liverpool has become a home for me. It has helped me with my confidence, mental health and fitness over the time that I've been there. I knew since the first day that I'd love it and i still do now. The friends that I've made haven't only been friend inside of class but outside of class too. KSW isn't just martial arts, it's a place where you can meet new people and become a better version of yourself thanks to all the wonderful classmates and instructors there. I'm very thankful that I have been able to join this family and i can't wait to make many more memories with everyone!
Thank you . Glad we made a difference. We are super happy to have you as a student and on our instructors team
Fantastic experience: I have been attending Kuk Sool Won Liverpool since March 2022 and within the last ~8 months I’ve seen my fitness, confidence and overall wellbeing improve. Despite never being much of a ‘sporty’ person, I wanted to challenge myself. Kuk Sool Won as a Martial Art form is fun, competitive, and enriching. Each belt progression is very rewarding and there are many more development opportunities such as seminars and tournaments. Master Carl Barrie is knowledgeable, encouraging, and supportive. Classes are always organised; the gym is clean, and the staff are very helpful and welcoming. I am in my mid 20’s and although I joined on my own, there is a good age range of people attending and everyone has been very friendly, you won’t feel alone for long. It’s never too late to start and I would recommend to anyone who had been considering a new hobby or sport.
Fantastic experience: Amazing martial arts , Sir is very supportive if you struggle with mental health & he is understanding and will help you build your confidence to go to classes and tournaments (I’m going to my first one this November which is something I never thought I’d do) You make friends with class mates easily and the instructors are so kind and helpful, no one judges you because everyone was a white belt once and everyone started for their own reasons , Mine was for various reasons such as gaining confidence , making friends , to get fit and to distract myself from my mental health in a healthy way , I have achieved all of these goals thanks to Kuk Sool Won of Liverpool. Thank you
Lovely review - we are lucky to have you
Fantastic experience: i went her when i was younger and i have a few i have come up to black strip on the white belt .. i havent went further since i left .. but in the future i would like to continue i hope to join again
Thank you . With a kind message like this of course your welcome here anytime
Fantastic experience: I joined Kuk Sool Won Aintree a few months back after mentally not being in a good place and needing a way to switch off from work and the stresses of life. I was really nervous to join, but it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. The instructors are all knowledgeable, friendly and will help you with whatever you need. All the students are respectful and so nice, you will feel at home straight away. I’ve fallen in love with martial arts and the mental and physical benefits it brings. Every single week I look forward to class and being able to learn something new. If you’re reading this and wondering whether or not to join, please just do it! I promise you won’t regret it!
Fantastic experience: We absolutely love this place. Our son, has been training here for more than 4 years and still can’t wait for every next class. He has gained so much confidence and life skills as well as martial arts self defence skills The instructors are all amazing and patient and you can see how much they love teaching. There is a real sense of camaraderie between the kids in the class. William has made lots of lovely friends who all practice together and support each other. The school offers competition opportunities and encourages students to compete both locally and nationally but their ‘no pressure’ attitude leaves the decisions to enter with the students. We can’t thank Master Carl, PSBN Natalie and their team enough and I would recommend Kuk Sool Won Liverpool to anyone looking for a new challenge
Super amazing and thank you
Fantastic experience: Amazing Martial arts school! Very safe environment, teaching children and adults how to defend themselves if needed. A clean, well maintained school, both the children and instructors are very friendly. My daughter has come a long way, and would attend every night if she could.
Fantastic experience: Kuk Sool Won is a complete Traditional Family Martial Arts system with many segments; it’s much more than self-defence, kicking, punching, grappling and using weapons - something I didn’t realise in my first few years of training. I had always been interested in martial arts and heard about Kuk Sool Won through my local gym. Classes were always exciting and fun; however I wanted to learn more and decided to trial the local school. Within a few months I had passed my first grading and 6 months later entered my first European tournament (and watched the event concluding Masters’ Demonstration which was electrifying! An eye opener!! Wow!!). I realised then that Kuk Sool Won was for me! It had surpassed that extra bit I was looking for!!! I set my sights on becoming a black belt and emulating the Masters (little did I know that there was so much more to the art and more to learn)!!! Embodied in the Kuk Sool Won ethos is respect, etiquette, discipline, good manners, equality, and diversity. Kuk Sool Won is very fulfilling and empowering! It allows the student to grow; helps with concentration and focus; develops courage, teamwork and leadership skills. It is structured with continuous learning and personal development (through class, regular workshops, seminars and tournaments). It is tiered, with leadership, guidance and governance from the top (the World Kuk Sool Association). There’s lots of learning through the ranks to, and beyond Master level - I’ve only scratched the surface on my journey! I wish I had discovered Kuk Sool Won much sooner as it has me helped in so many ways including improving my overall health. My current favourite things in training are self-defence techniques, Sword and Spear training. As a member of the instructors’ team, I’m now in a position to give back and help others which I absolutely love!!! I work with students of varying ages and abilities (from age 5 to senior adults). It’s so rewarding and gives me great satisfaction seeing our students develop, grow in confidence & self belief and progress through the ranks!!!! I enjoy the competitive side of Kuk Sool Won and have won numerous medals and Grand Champion titles. If you’re looking for something that’s well structured with that little extra, where you will grow in confidence & self belief, learn respect, make friends and get fitter at the same time, then give Kuk Sool Won a try.
Thanks ma’am. 18 years with us - it’s been a pleasure to reach you. Here’s to many more
Fantastic experience: Since starting beginner adult at Kuk Sool Won Liverpool I have seen my fitness greatly improve, I feel more confident in myself and it has given me focus. From day one I found the place to have a great welcoming atmosphere with instructors that are approachable who just want to bring out the best in the students. Martial arts is for everyone and at Kuk Sool Won Liverpool they really believe this and make sure nobody is left behind. A great place to train and feel included.
Thank you ma’am - very kind words
Fantastic experience: My son loves coming here they have help him in so many ways
Thank you Andrea . Luke is an amazing young man . I’m glad we are helping Luke progress!
Fantastic experience: Great classes. Kids love it
Thank you . Took us a while to reply Glad your children are still with us
Fantastic experience: Amazing martial art academy, my little girl loves it.
Fantastic experience: As a member of Liverpool’s Kuk Sool Won for around four years or so, I have always found the facilities to be professionally run and outstanding in their cleanliness. I could not recommend them more. There is always a friendly face to be able to advise me on my journey to better fitness, mental health and reaching those all important higher achievements in belt level. As an older member, I will never claim that I have never asked what am I doing here, but I would never consider giving up on the privilege of meeting new friends and the challenge of making my life more fulfilling. The Covid epidemic has forced new and innovative solutions to training, and has shown the professionalism, thoughtfulness and care taken by establishment to make sure that everyone is comfortable. The hard work of everyone has meant that I always feel safe while training and have no concerns. Thank you for the opportunity to train at Kuk Sool Won Liverpool.
Thank you Tracy .
Fantastic experience: I have been going to my kuk Sool Won lessons for me kuk school is out standing
Fantastic experience: Hi I have nothing but praise for Master Carl and Psbn Natalie. They are an amazing team. My son had been attending Kuk Sool Won for several years now and enjoys every minute there. He has gone from strength to strength in every aspect of his life. Thinking back he should of gone years ago. I would highly recommend Kuk Sool Won. Keep up the good work your a great team. Not forgetting the hard working instructors too.
Thank you Debra. Joshua is doing amazing on our instructors team
Fantastic experience: As a serving member of the Armed Forces I decided to take up Kuk Sool Won a few years ago now. My aim was to improve my fitness, mental wellbeing and reach personal goals. I have achieved this and much more during this time. Master Carl is an expert in his field and leads a team of highly talented and dedicated instructors who have helped me along every step of the way. All training is conducted in a safe and professional environment, catering for all levels of experience/abilities and age groups. It is also a fantastic environment for children to learn and develop. Teaching not just martial arts but instilling respect, discipline and confidence. This is just the tip of the iceberg, there is a lot more on offer also. I for one will be enrolling my youngest into little dragon's later this year when they turn 5. If reading this you would like to for example improve your own fitness, mental wellbeing or would like your child to develop in a safe environment then I'd 100% recommend joining Kuk Sool Won of Liverpool and start your journey now
Fantastic experience: My son has been going to Kuk Sool Won of Liverpool for almost four years. I can honestly say, this has been one of the best decisions we have made for our son. Master Carl and SBN Natalie have taught him so much, not only mixed martial arts, which I must say, he has never missed a class and always looks forward to the next one. He has entered several Tournaments, to which he has won many medals. We are so thrilled with this place. It has become a big part of his and our lives. We are so happy we joined him up, it has helped him In so many ways, not just his confidence but his physical ability has improved so much. The whole team are amazing. Excellent place and would highly recommend. Not just for children, but adults too!
Fantastic experience: I've been at Kuk sool won of Liverpool for 8 months. I've seen massive improvements in my fitness and my mental health. Kuk sool won is a traditional martial art. It teaches us respect and discipline. Master Carl has always offered me and other students the best of his knowledge in the art. My life has turned around in the last 8 months and it's a massive thanks to Master Carl and his team of instructors ( who have all shown me the same respect I've shown them from day one ). There're many children who attend the classes and are all shown the same respect as adults. I wish I'd of joined years before.
Thank you Ian.
Fantastic experience: I take my Son there every Tuesday N Thursday sometime Friday too,N he loves it N he has worn 12 Certificates N 12 Black Stripes on his Borwn/Black stripes belt.
Thank you sir. We love Patrick being here still !
Fantastic experience: I have trained with the team at Kuk Sool Won of Liverpool for over 4 years now and have never regretted my decision. I came in looking for something to improve my health and fitness and found it to be so much more than that. Kuk Sool is a comprehensive system training the body, mind and spirit with lifelong learning. Yes it is tough and disciplined which can be a bit of a shock in today's culture, but the hard work results in a better version of yourself both physically and mentally. That said the instructors are highly experienced and skilled and push you out of your comfort zone at a pace that is challenging but never overwhelming. Come join us and improve your life!
Fantastic experience: I'm in here and its the BEST!!!!!!
Fantastic experience: After playing sports for years, my body (particularly my knees and back) were not the same as they once were and after a brief sedentary life of putting on weight and tv, I felt myself becoming more and more frustrated with life’s daily stresses and no means to release and balance. I had always wanted to try to learn a martial art from an early age, inspired by my cousin who became a black belt in Judo later in life, but I never had the opportunity when I was younger and feared that I was too old and that it was too late for me to start. I couldn’t have been more wrong. In classes, we learn defence, attack, weapons and breathing techniques, all of which contribute to greater confidence which is transferred not only in the dojang but also in my private and professional life. I have also never been as fit as I am now, not even in my heyday when I was playing semi-professional rugby. Simply put, Kuk Sool Won has helped me and continues to help me tremendously to become the best person I can be and for that I will always be grateful. I won’t lie. It has been tough, both mentally and physically but the long lasting rewards far outweigh the temporary pain. Kuk Sool Won teaches discipline, resilience, mental and physical fortitude but most of all, respect. You cannot help but be both impressed and inspired by Master Carl and PSBN Natalie whose discipline, professionalism and welcoming approach have forged an atmosphere of respect amongst all their students, regardless of background. As a father and teacher, I believe that there is not enough respect in modern day society and that fear seems to have taken over where discipline and respect at home once ruled. Respect is the essence of Kuk Sool Won. Respect for those who instruct, for the art itself, for others and for yourself. It is for this reason above all others that both of my own children will attend Kuk Sool Won of Liverpool in the future. So, the real question for me is not “Why would I or a member of my family join Kuk Sool Won?” but rather, “Why wouldn’t you?” Trust me. You, like me, will have no regrets when you do.
Thank you .

Fantastic experience: I went along to a taster class at Kuk Sool Won of Liverpool which is situated on Long Lane in Liverpool North as I was bored and alot of the time didn't feel motivated to go the gym on my own. On the taster class I felt very welcomed and enjoyed the class as it motivated me to try things I hadn't or wouldn't do when in the gym.

Fantastic experience: Liverpool School of Martial Arts is a family orientated learning environment. It's modern looks and simple yet inviting space welcomes you in and makes you feel at ease even if you have never experienced a martial arts system before. Being more than a martial art they focus on fitness, discipline, respect and confidence resulting in an all round balanced style that quickly makes you want to learn more. With various classes based on age, with the youngest class teaching under 7s called Little Dragons, they introduce you to the Kuk Sool Won system and from there you are guided with many trained and certified instructors leaving you relaxed, happy and wanting the next lesson to come sooner. Conveniently located and working well with the working hours of families LSOMA also run summer camps and fitness days dedicated to the younger students and the older students wishing to push fitness even more. Differing from other systems Kuk Sool Won does more than simply teach a method of defense. with multiple forms, techniques, weapons and strikes it shows you something new with every lesson. An amazing experience and if you are thinking of trying something new then this is the place to begin.
