Our School

Our school has been serving the Greater Flint area since 1993. We are a privately owned school with high standards. Our students work hard and study harder. We believe that martial arts should be more than just kicking and punching. It should influence the practitioner's mind, body, and spirit.

Our School History

Our school was started by Bryan & Paulette Lingenfelter in 1993. The husband and wife team started their Kuk Sool Won training at a school in South Carolina. After earning their black belts, Grandmaster In Hyuk Suh instructed them to open a martial art school in the Greater Flint area.

Following the instructions of our Grandmaster, the two started a school in Burton, Michigan in 1993. Some time in 1995, they received a new student (Kenneth A. Wright). This student went on to be their first student to earn Black Belt.

Before young student Wright earned his black belt, he voluntarily assisted his instructors in teaching all the classes. Under the guidance of his instructors and the experience gained from assisting, Wright grew into a great instructor and continued to teach as many classes as he could.

In 2001, Wright acquired ownership of the Kuk Sool Won school and has operated it faithfully since then.
