Alright well, I got a good bit of responses for volunteers which is awesome. My first guest is Chris. I won’t say much more than that. Alright, here we go…!
Name:
Chris Tuley
Year at Purdue:
Sophomore
Major/Minor(s):
Computer Graphics technology
Kuk Sool rank:
Yellow Belt
What drew you to join Kuk Sool Won?
An extracurricular fest freshman year. I saw the Kuk Sool booth which
showcased a variety of different weapons, and was immediately intrigued. Then
Max JKN explained what Kuk Sool was and I was even more interested. so I came to
the call out and the rest is history.
How many years have you been in Kuk Sool Won?
1 & 1/2
What is your favorite technique set/form?
Ooh this is a tuffie. My favorite techniqe set so far is probalby Sohn Mohk
Soo. It builds on the principles of Ki Bohn Soo but is for more defensive
purposes like how to counter wrist grabs and the like. My favorite form so far
is Ki Cho Hyung. Its a really good workout and is fun to do.
Interests outside of Kuk Sool Won?
Well lets see. I like movies and film, especially movies heavy with animation
and special effects. I also enjoy heavy metal music and play drums occasionally.
Where is your hometown?
Evansville, Indiana
Have you been to other Kuk Sool schools? Which?
No. not too many that I know of in the Evansville area.
100 push-ups or 100 sit-ups?
Oooh. another toughie. Hmm, I think I could do 100 sit-ups easier but I like
to build upper body strength too. Probably the sit ups though since it works
your core which is pretty much essential for anything.
Think about this one before you answer. How many techniques do you know up
until now?
47
Ki Bohn Soo- 15
Sohn Mohk Soo- 11
Eui Bohk Soo -up to 11 but i only need to learn 2 more for that set
Well there ya go! I hope this helps you and encourages you to get to know your fellow Kuk Sool Won-ers. After all, and I say this a lot, we are almost one big giant family. Once you have joined the martial art of Kuk Sool, you are integrated into a group of people that have similar interests. Having said that, I think it is really important that you get to know each other well and encourage each other to do their best in everything not just Kuk Sool. Have a good week everyone and thank you Chris for being the first up in this exciting series of Kuk Sool Won interviews!!!
