Grandmaster Kim Soo left his home in Seoul, Korea 45 years ago to come to Texas and found martial arts schools, and educate martial arts instructors in the United States.
His system, Chayon-Ryu, which means, "natural way," is a system of martial arts developed to sustain its practitioner from the inside, uses natural movements and abilities to allow freedom-flow of techniques and balanced routines.
Its philosophy of non-violence enables the individual to practice daily without the need for mere speed, power, and the lure of competition. Over the past 45 years, he's promoted over 600 black belts and taught over 70,000 students. His contributions to martial arts in Texas and world wide have been significant, and have touched the lives of so many.
