Kuk Sool Won of Peoria

What an AMAZING school. Master Ben and his staff are loving, motivating, and always inspiring. Expect high energy and friendly atmosphere when you become part of the Kuk Sool family!

Kuk Sool Won has been like an extended family while my son has been taking lessons! When in class the children and adults are treated with respect. We did have an experience elsewhere where the instructors quite frankly intimidated/scared my son and at KSW he is encouraged to strive to do his best. The experience has assisted his self esteem, strengthened his body, and assisted in helping his attention with home and school activities. The instructors at KSW are patient with varied learning speeds and encourage the successes....not point out the failures.The instructors even sent text messages to him when he was out of class and home after surgery....like I had said...family.

Kuk Sool Won is such a blessing!!! Our daughter has been a student for about 7 years, and we could not be happier. Ben Mitchell is a most caring and dedicated man who guides his students through the discipline needed to earn promotions and belts. He does not give up on students, and he shows utmost respect in his teachings. He gives respect to earn respect. Martial Arts has been an incredible journey for our daughter and for us, as parents. We have seen a more disciplined, proud, brave, and STRONG young girl have focus and direction that she was missing. There are no words to describe how thankful we are that we found Sir and this school, as there was nothing that would take a very young child of 5 at that time. I am so glad no one did offer that, because this school is top notch, the BEST!!!! We love the fact that different ages can attend classes, that there is flexibility in attending those classes, and that fun and numerous after hours activities are planned for both students and parents. It is a FAMILY of really fabulous people. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM of our hearts.

Kuk Sool Won of Peoria is the greatest martial arts school in Peoria. You don't buy your belt or strips you earn them, you are not just a student you are part of a family and the cost, contacts and events are affordable and fair. After almost 4 years the cost of training and events has been consistent and fair. The school started in the basement of the owners house and now we have moved to a new location, Which we all played a part. The new building was needed because the school has grown that much, Way To Go Kuk Sool. The free trail offers a great opportnity to try it out and almost always lead to joining the Kuk Sool family. The owner/operator, Master (Ben Mitchell) , Black Belts and the entire team motivates, embraces and cares about each other from top to bottom. You are always welcome so, if you don't belong start your New Year with us and be a part. Look forwarded to seeing you there.

For a while, I've been looking around for a martial art that tested me both mentally and physically. With only small experience as a child with Karate, I did not know what to expect from a Korean art I've never heard of before. After taking the free trial class, I was hooked. Kuk Sool Won tests me constantly and always makes me push myself to a level I never thought I could achieve. Master Ben and the other Black Belt instructors make class fun, exciting and inviting. They make it their goal to better yourself and show you what you are truly capable of. If you are having issues with flexibility, Kuk Sool Won is perfect as well. I had a serious motorcycle accident years ago, and Kuk Sool has helped my mobility, flexibility and overall stamina dramatically. Kuk Sool!

Kuk Sool Won of Peoria is a great martial arts school. The brand new school itself is amazing. It's a great way to keep (or get) in shape and also learn a valuable skill set. Master Ben and all the other instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful. I would definitely recommend it to a friend and anyone else that wants to get in shape and learn something new.

Kuk Sool Won is a wonderful place for our family. All of the instructors are so good and patient with children. I am always impressed with them. My two children (ages 6 and 8) as well as my husband have been students for a year and a half now, and they all really enjoy it. If you are considering a martial arts program, I recommend without reservation Kuk Sool Won of Peoria with KJN Ben Mitchell.

I looked all over Peoria for a school that I would have to EARN each colored belt. I have a martial arts background but, admittedly have not practiced in about 10 years. While there are other legitimate schools available. I set about finding one by interviewing each instructor. I told Master Ben what I was looking for and my expectations. Took a couple of free introductory classes and knew that Kuk Sool Won was for me and my entire family.Now, if you do not like discipline, do not like to sweat, not willing to push your body to the limit and most importantly willing to give between 100% up to 150% every class. Then, I can unequivocally tell you, this is not the school for you. However, if you are doing your very best, the instructors will recognize this and work with you (depending on the class size one on one). In fact, the instructors are fun, serious and love to teach.I will admit, I am normally hurting after most classes but the pain is just a reminder that I am still living. Lastly, Master Ben and his instructors run a traditional Korean Full Martial Arts school as well as a business. I am proud to be a Kuk Sool Won family member!

Kuk Sool Won of Peoria is awesome. My kids and I have been training since 2004, and it's been a tremendous source of recreation, discipline, life lessons, and--last but not least--friendship for our family. I can't count the number of times I've said to my kids "It's just like in Kuk Sool Won . . . " and then repeated a lesson they've learned in class about diligence, or respect, or responsibility (or good low stances). Master Ben Mitchell is an outstanding teacher to all ages of students (both of my kids started when the were 4 years old), and he and his black belt instructors are great at bringing out the best in their students and setting a fun and respectful tone in their classes.I am very happy our family can be involved in martial arts, I'm thankful we're practicing Kuk Sool Won, but I take the greatest pride in being a student of Ben Mitchell's.
