Kuk Sool Won
The development of Kuk Sool Won™ is a significant event in the history of Korean martial art because it represents a systematic study of the entire range of traditional Korean martial arts. To understand the significance and the complexity of Kuk Sool Won™, it is important to differentiate between a style of Martial Art and a system of Martial Art styles. Tae Kwon Do, Shotokan, Judo, Tang Soo Do, Aikido, Hapkido, and so on are all different martial art styles. Kuk Sool Won™ on the other hand is not really a style of martial art at all but is instead a highly scientific, comprehensive martial art system. This means that Kuk Sool Won™ is not limited to a particular style of martial art, but instead incorporates the entire Korean martial art spectrum dating from ancient times to the present. It includes many Martial Art styles with its scope.
Quoted from Kuk Sool Won™ Traditional Korean Martial Art, Textbook Volume 1
