About Me:
I am 16 years old and going into the 10th Grade at the new Porter High School. I like video games- reading and swimming. I plan on joining the Navy when I graduate from high school.
I started Kuk Sool Won™ in 2008. I wanted to learn a martial art, but didn't know what style I wanted. I went to several different schools and watched how the instructors taught the classes, how the style "fit" my interests, the level of fitness needed and used during the class, etc... After visiting several schools, I walked into the Kuk Sool Won™of Kingwood Martial Art Center, watched a class and visited with Master Roper. When I left the dojang I knew I found my martial art, and the rest is history.
