Sang Hwa Soo Karate Yusool

In learning signature styles from each art and other teachers, in conjunction with years of commitment and vigorous training, I established the art of Sang Hwa Soo Karate Yusool. In the year 2007, I developed a curriculum of classical and combative styles. I created the abbreviation of "S.K.Y." which is a mixture of classical and modern martial arts.

 

Sang Hwa Soo Karate Yusool is a martial art system of empty hand fighting, submission grappling and weapons that blends techniques from three ranges of fighting including kicks and hand techniques to close the distance into takedowns and grappling.
