Yeah, I’m talkin’ about roller derby. But it’s not what you think. I went to my first bout not really knowing what to expect, and what I saw was a fast-paced, hard-driving sport that owed as much of its appeal to truly gifted athleticism as to the admittedly fun dramatics. Yes, the girls throw around some ‘tude, and yes, the uniforms lean toward short skirts and fishnets, but the skating is, in some cases, world class, and the game is played with strategy and skill, not just shoulder checks and cat fights. What does roller derby have to do with Kuk Sool? Well, Kuk Sool Won of St. Paul will be the opening entertainment for the MN Rollergirls on Saturday, March 21, 2009. We’re thrilled to be asked — it’s a chance for us to show off what we do in front of 2000+ people who really like seeing athletic women do impressive aggressive stuff. If only Steffen Pu Sa Bum Nim would let me wear a skirt…. Want to know more about the MN Rollergirls? Check out their website at www.mnrollergirls.com.

All right, it’s not a Korean stylist, but this was too much fun to pass up.
Special thanks to Ken Schalk Pu Sa Bum Nim for forwarding this one!

Once again I have gone to St. Louis for the midwest Kuk Sool Won Tournament. I have only missed this tournament once, and I truly enjoy it. KJN and SBN Harvey do an amazing job of organizing, and St. Louis is a great city. Also, this year I got the pleasure of seeing my own instructor promote to Master. Congratulations, KJN Seitz! Of course, for me the capstone is always the Master’s Demonstration. This year, I especially enjoyed watching SBN Ben Mitchell do a cat roll higher than his own head, and then proceed to do a flip over a stack of people. Also of note was Sun Jin Suh Kwan Jahng Nim’s Crane on the Cloud form. He performed it slow and low. It was absolutely gorgeous. So while the St. Louis Demo form is not up yet, I thought you might enjoy an older video of Sun Jin Suh KJN doing Crane on the Cloud!

Kwan Jang Nim Alex has recently had a professional Video made to promote his 2 new schools down in Texas. Fortunately for everyone else he offers the video to help other schools who would like to use it. So all we had to do was put our school Contact Information on the end and drop it on our Homepage. Click the image below to go to our homepage to watch it.

Awesome Video explaining the significance of our Martial Arts history of Open Hand Techniques, Fan Techniques, Cane Techniques, and Korean Rope Techniques.
* You gotta love the “Supermanesque” Music they have going on in this movie.

Kuk Sa Nim performs Sohn Mohk Soo wonderfully. These videos Kwan Jang Nim Gene Gause are puuting up on YouTube are great because they show Kuk Sa Nim breaking down the technique so you can see the joint-locks and pressure points. I would suggest notcing how fluid and effortless Kuk Sa Nim’s techniques are. Not to mention his minimal foot movement.

More props to Kwan Jang Nim Gene Gause and his school for releasing these awesome videos. This video is extremely awesome because it slows down each technique to show you the joint-lock and manipulation every time. Enjoy!
