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.

Staff Form is the first weapons form we all learn in Kuk Sool Won. We will all practice it countless times throughout our career. Here is a quick video of myself doing Joong Bong Il Hyung at the St.Louis Tournament and some quick tips below:
1. Balance
Especially at the beginning you need to demonstrate good balance with all the spinning techniques. If you do not show proper balance, especially at a tournament, it is immediately known to everyone watching that you have not practiced the form enough.
2. Good Stances
Just because you have a staff in your hands does not mean you get to neglect your stances. Stances will not be as low as empty hand forms because you need some clearance to spin your staff but they should still be proper and low enough to show you actually are a Martial Artist.
3. Power and Precision
This form must be controlled, powerful, and precise. Each movement and strike with the staff must be made with purpose and direction. Practice, Practice, Practice. Especially practice the spins on your own. Don’t just do the form over and over again do the set of 15 spins to get the basics down and sharpened from time to time.

Sometimes hindsight is just 20/20. The Houston World Championships this year looked awesome and I wish I could have went. For all of you in the same boat and maybe for some of you who want to see the demos again. Here is an excellent video of all the parts of the Masters Demo:

I would love to have seen Master Alex and Master Sung Jin doing a demo together. It seems like the European Championships always have an awesome demo portion of their tournament. Maybe one day I’ll be able to make it over there and join you all.

I asked Photographer Jason Teale for some of his amazing images for our blog readers and he thankfully said yes. Jason is currently teaching English in South Korea and is also currently testing for Kyo Sa Nim. He took these beautiful images of Knife Defense (Dahn Do Maki), Fan Techniques (Bu Chae Sool), and Monk Techniques that we have turned into Desktop Wallpapers at the Kuk Sool Korean Championships.
We will be posting an interview with Jason down the road but ifyou would like to see some more of his amazing photography just visit his website at: www.jasonteale.com

 When people first start learning Ssang Jool Bong they commit a couple basic Jool Bong Sins. Of course, practice, practice, practice when it comes to Ssang Jool Bong and this can rid you of those sins. However, these tips and tricks can help you on your way.
If you haven’t seen the way we do Ssang Jool Bong here, check this post: Ssang Jool Bong like you Have Never Seen it Before
1. Let the Chain Wrap
Too many people just hit the “stick” part of the Jool Bong off their shoulders, legs, and hips. You need to hold the tip of the Jool Bong right next to your body to let the chain wrap around the body part you are bouncing it off of. This way you will not get a bunch of bruises and you can have a longer, happier life without the pain of whacking yourself day in and day out.
2. Don’t Stop the Motion
Ssang Jool Bong is a weapon where you must continue the motion in a circular manner constantly. If you try to stop the motion in the middle of the air you may have some undesired consequences flying toward you face. Always try to let the motion be smooth and circular letting the chain wrap by bouncing or going around your body to change directions.
3. Use Two Hands
No, this is not baseball. But you need to practice with both hands. When you first learn Jool Bong you will only use one hand at a time. So make sure you practice with both hands, because in the near future you will be doing double and using both hands at the same time. Which can be pretty mind boggling for someone who has only practiced with one hand.
