The classes they run
“My kids and I have been training since 2004, and it's been a tremendous source of recreation, discipline, life lessons, and--last but not least--friendship for our family.”
“However, if you are doing your very best, the instructors will recognize this and work with you (depending on the class size one on one).”
“It is a Korean martial arts, where you will learn not just self defense but life lessons as well.”
Other martial arts here
“With only small experience as a child with Karate, I did not know what to expect from a Korean art I've never heard of before.”

“Now, if you do not like discipline, do not like to sweat, not willing to push your body to the limit and most importantly willing to give between 100% up to 150% every class.”

From the reviews
To address the one negative review, we all sign 12-month contracts ea. year. If you breach contract and don't try to work it out with the person you signed the contract with, you eventually get sent to collections. This is ridiculous to put into a review of a business.
Kuk Sool Won is a wonderful place for our family. All of the instructors are so good and patient with children. I am always impressed with them. My two children (ages 6 and 8) as well as my husband have been students for a year and a half now, and they all really enjoy it.
Kuk Sool Won is such a blessing!!! Our daughter has been a student for about 7 years, and we could not be happier. Ben Mitchell is a most caring and dedicated man who guides his students through the discipline needed to earn promotions and belts.
When I signed my 5 and 7 year old up for KSW, I didn't know how much of an impact it would have in our lives. Watching them grow and gain confidence and respect over that first few months was amazing. I found myself staying to watch their progress, as well as watch the higher belts practice. It's truly a beautiful art.
Your first BJJ class at Sah Doh Kuk Sul Peoria / Formally known as Kuk Sool Won of Peoria
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
