What our clients are saying...

Toran and Sarah are a treasure to our community! Our 11 year old boy loves Kuk Sool Won and Toran’s passion for students and martial arts is contagious. Not only does my son learn valuable self defense and strength training, but Toran instills great life lesson skills in each class. Sarah and Toran excell in their ability to teach students at all levels – children to adults. All of the other instructors at Kuk Sool Won are top notch. We feel KSW is a very family friendly atmosphere. It is a highlight of our week. We HIGHLY recommend KSW for your family!

I truly believe that Kuk Sool Won of Clemson is the epitome of a program that checks all the boxes when it comes to youth development. They provided my son a safe place to challenge himself physically and mentally while also helping him learning how to be a responsible, respectful young man. In addition, they are so generous with their time in volunteering at my camp for middle school girls, Finding Your Voice, to provide the girls with the basics of self defense in a fun, meaningful way. I honestly can’t recommend KSW enough or speak highly enough of Sarah and Toran Gordinier.

My son has exuded confidence, respect, and pride since starting his Kuk Sool journey as a Tiny Tiger at age 5. He feels respected and challenged the he goes to class. Kuk Sool Won of Clemson is one of those rare spaces where a child is respected and taken seriously. My son has been 100% intrinsically motivate to reach his goals in Kuk Sool, and now attends twice a week as a Lil’ Dragon and eagerly attends all of the Kuk Sool community events.

Since my daughter Carly who is 10 years old has been attending Kuk Sool Won, she has came out of her shell. She’s not as shy as she used to be; her discipline has greatly improved. She seems more focused on school work and loves it! The instructors are great with my daughter. She has learned a lot and wants to continue to improve her skills. I feel that enrolling her in Kuk Sool Won is the best decision I’ve ever made. The instructors take the time to talk to you about the progress and how the program is going. I am very pleased and proud of my daughter’s progress in discipline and overall behavior. Thank you so much!
