The classes listed are trial lessons hosted independently by Kuk Sool Won - Ely.
"My daughter joined KSW - Ely in January and I never thought she would like it as much as she does. Ashley who runs it is such an inspiration and role model to my daughter plus the other seniors who support her, take class, support the children are simply brilliant. My daughter just competed in her first ever comp, she picked up 2 medals. Kuk Sool has not only built her confidence but it has given her stamina, improved fitness and improved memory, concentration and learning.
I would recommend this to any parent looking to build a child’s confidence. The kids have to be quite disciplined which I think is great learning. In addition to that it’s a really nice atmosphere for a spectating parent, friendly, supportive of one another’s kids without resentment or competitiveness. It’s like one big family"

"Whether your 4 or 40! KSW Ely has something for you!
My daughter and I have done nearly 2 years now and have never looked back!
KSN Ashley is so passionate about the art and as well as pulling everyone together as a team , really focuses on individual needs so every student progresses at their own level.
It’s a fun, friendly environment every lesson, and everyone encourages each other.
WE LOVE IT!!!"

"Our 2 kids have been going since last summer and have learned so much. Classes are fun whilst being structured and disciplined. The instructors are all excellent and focus on each students' needs. My son did a year of after school karate and learned nowhere near as much as he has at KSW."
Mike Jolly
"My daughter started Kuk Sool Won back in June, and after a few months of watching the fun, my husband and I joined in October. It has been a great family activity for us. KSN Ashley is an amazing instructor."

"Kuk sool won Ely is the place to be. I have been coming to KSN Ashley’s classes since it started and done it a year before that at a different school. I would definitely consider starting Kuk Sool Won. It’s builds confidence, strength, stamina and much more."
