On Saturday 1st
June 2013, nine individual students from the Halesworth Kuk Sool Won School
were presented their respective black belt grades at a ceremony held in
Kings Lynn, Norfolk. A week earlier the black
belt examination had been held for the candidates at the Waterlane Sports
Centre. The grading, which consisted in performing all aspects of the martial
arts, was conducted in front of a panel of international Master Instructor’s,
as well as the Grandmaster and founder of Kuk Sool Won, In Hyuk Suh, 10th

There was also special acknowledgment
and promotion for long-serving student, David Fulcher who has now become one of
only a few people from the Halesworth Kuk Sool School to reach the
distinguished level of 4th
Degree Black Belt. David was
origionaly the second student to join the School, but had to take some time
after severely injuring his back at work.
The annual Kuk Sool Won
European Championships were once again held at Kings Lynn, Norfolk.
Unfortunately this year only three students from the Halesworth School entered
the competition this year, however the good news is that they all came away
with at least two medals each.
