Welcome. Kuk Sool is a comprehensive mixed martial art which offers its students a solid traditional foundation. In additional to our classical foundation in Kuk Sool, Alameda Martial Arts offers instruction which includes grappling, wrestling, and boxing.

Erik Lee spent twenty years training under Grandmaster In Hyuk Suh. Before that, Grandmaster Suh spent more than 40 years in single minded practice and research in order to learn, compile, master and organize the more than 3,600 techniques that comprise his system KUK SOOL WON™ in 1961 and brought it to the United States in 1974. For his instruction and elucidation, Erik Lee and his students are grateful.

Kuk Sool is an extremely well-organized system of martial arts which seeks to integrate and explore all aspects of traditional fighting arts.

Kuk Sool combines kicking, punching, throwing, choking, joint-locking, and a myriad of weapons techniques, into a beautiful and dynamic "hard-soft" style emphasizing speed and fluidity. Physical training, meditation breathing, acupressure and acupuncture techniques are also employed to improve and maintain health to develop internal power, and to retard the aging process.

Philosophically Alameda Martial Arts emphasizes respect for oneself and others; training to develop one's body, mind, and spirit; self-discipline, and the long term health benefits of consistency.
 
Through diligent practice, Kuk Sool training will develop strength, quickness, balance, timing, flexibility and co-ordination. At the same time powers of concentration, self-discipline and self-control significantly improve.
