Kuksool Won

Kuksool Won preserves the complete range of historical Korean combat techniques in a single system, making it the most encyclopedic martial art on this list. Founded in 1958 by Suh In-hyuk, its curriculum spans over twenty years at advanced levels, covering joint locks, pressure points, throwing, weapons, and energy healing practices—a breadth unmatched by any other Korean art, including Won Hwa Do. With 12 distinct weapon forms and 60+ joint-lock techniques, it offers a comprehensive path that outperforms #10 in scope and historical depth.
