Event Overview

On February 14, 2026, our school community will gather for our “Don’t Break My Heart” Valentine’s Day Celebration as part of our Winter Family Connection Series.

This event features our signature heart-themed board breaking, where students step forward to demonstrate focus, courage, and perseverance. Each break represents more than strength — it reflects commitment, encouragement, and the support of family standing behind them.

It is one of the most meaningful traditions in our Sherman Oaks martial arts community.

What This Celebration Represents

Valentine’s Day gives us the opportunity to highlight something deeper than decorations. It reminds us that strong families are built on encouragement, unity, and shared growth.

Students step forward with courage. Families stand behind them with support. That connection is what makes this event powerful.

Kuk Sool Won is a traditional Korean martial art that was created in 1958 by Kuk Sa Nim In Hyuk Suh in South Korea. Kuk Sool Won utilizes kicks, punches, and conditioning in order to build foundational self-defense skills. Although it’s a unique martial art that focuses on bettering general well-being as well as physical strength. In 1975, Kuk Sa Nim In Hyuk Suh established the World Kuk Sool Association, an international organization that strives to explore various Asian fighting arts and training methods. This allows the World Kuk Sool Association to cover a variety of techniques that benefit defense, attack, development, and internal healing. While the practice is quite new, it’s rooted deep in Korean culture and traditions that value and appreciate the mental development that martial arts yields.
