Our Story

Two dates, one continuous local story

Master Jack Harvey opened his first Kuk Sool Won school in the St. Louis area in 1992. After moving through a few locations, the school opened the St. Peters location in 1995 — the location still serving students today.

That history matters because KSW STL is not only a St. Peters school. Families come from across the St. Louis Metro and St. Charles County for traditional Korean martial arts instruction, a structured class environment, and a curriculum that develops skill over time.
