PSBN Andrew Cameron
3rd Degree Principal Instructor and School Owner.
PSBN Andrew started martial arts training as a young boy in Thurso. At the time, the Thurso Kuk Sool Won school was the only one in Scotland.
PSBN Andrew promoted to 1st Dahn black belt in 2010, before winning Grand Champion titles in 2012 and 2013. He reached his current rank in November 2018 and won his 3rd Grand Champion title at the 2022 Scottish Tournament, winning Gold in all 6 of his categories.
PSBN Andrew opened Kuk Sool Won Glasgow in August 2013. The school has placed in the top ten schools at UK and Scottish championships multiple times. His proudest moments are seeing all of his students progressing and performing well, a few of note being one of his students winning European Grand Champion in 2016 and seeing his wife and first ever student KSN Sarah reach black belt level.
PSBN Andrew’s favourite thing about Kuk Sool Won is the sheer variety on offer. As an instructor, PSBN Andrew is passionate about good technique and posture, attention to detail and realising how all the individual skills learned in Kuk Sool Won fit together to complement and enhance every aspect of training.
PSBN Ruaridh
3rd Degree Senior Black Belt.
After watching classes taking place, PSBN Ruaridh was eager to try out Kuk Sool Won. He joined the Inverness-shire school in 2009 and it quickly became a favourite hobby. He promoted to black belt alongside his family and good friend KSN Peter and continued to train in Inverness for several more years before university brought him to Glasgow.
The wonderful community of people at KSW Glasgow made him feel very welcome and PSBN Andrew’s energetic teaching style inspired a new enthusiasm for Kuk Sool Won.
PSBN Ruaridh sees the Do-jang as a space to push himself – when you step onto the mats you put in everything you’ve got. Every class is a competition against your past self, everything you do should be better than the last time you did it.
KSN Peter
2nd Degree Instructor.
KSN Peter’s Kuk Sool journey began when he heard that a martial arts teacher had moved to his sleepy Highland village. He then became one of the very first students of Kuk Sool Won Inverness Shire. After three years of training, Peter moved to Mobile, Alabama where unfortunately his training halted due to a lack of schools in the area. However, after ten years of living in the US, he returned to Scotland determined to gain his black belt. Peter commuted to Inverness from Aberdeen for three years just to study under his original Instructor and neighbour JIKJN Ian Cameron. In 2013 he promoted to black belt, then moved to Glasgow.
Here he reached out to the newly formed Kuk Sool Won Glasgow School where he instantly felt at home and improved greatly under PSBN Andrew’s instruction. Peter quickly earned a reputation for recruiting new students and his proudest accomplishment has been helping the Glasgow school grow by introducing his personal friends to his lifelong hobby.
For KSN Peter, Kuk Sool Won is about individual goals. He can do things he never thought possible because every time he comes to class he makes sure he is ever so slightly better than the class before.
KSN Chris
2nd Degree Instructor.
KSN Chris has been practicing martial arts since he was five years old and during that time he has experimented with many different styles. He was first introduced to Kuk Sool Won by a friend and he has been addicted ever since.
To KSN Chris, Kuk Sool Won Glasgow is a series of like minded individuals, friends and rivals who are constantly able to push him to the next level of his training and have allowed him to grow into the martial artist he is today. More than that, they are a family he can rely on.
As someone who loves all aspects of Kuk Sool Won and the diversity of our martial art, KSN Chris finds it difficult to chose a certain area which is his favourite. He does enjoy sparring!
