Question for any Kuk Sool Won practitioners out there.
I ran into someone a few days ago who claims to have trained extensively in Kuk Sool Won and was looking for somewhere to train here. Since there is no Kuk Sool here, I invited him to come train with us in Tang Soo Do.
He informed me that cross training is strictly forbidden in his art - and that he could be basically shunned for ever training in another style. I have since done some research and I know that there is only one major Kuk Sool Won organization, but many school who also teach the style.
I personally can't imagine a style that restricts its students that much. I can understand asking people not to practice other styles in their dojang, but not actually exhonorating people for even exposing themselves to another style.
Can anyone tell me if there is any truth to this - and if so, possibly some explanation. Thank you!
