Excellent structure and program. My grandson loves this class and we are already seeing the results of the teaching from Master Gray and his team outside of the class environment.

My 6yr old is going on a month now of classes with Master Gray & he LOVES IT! So glad we had him join Kuk Sool. The staff is great & works so well with the little ones on focus & respect.

Im a student at Kuk Sool Won and its is amazing!! Its very fun and very helpful too! 😝

This place is awesome and the instructors are wonderful! If you’re thinking about giving martial arts a try you should go see Master Gray at Kuk Sool Won of the River Valley and give them a try. You won’t regret it!

My son absolutely loves it and me and my wife couldn’t be happier with the instructors. They make it fun and exciting and take time to make sure each student gets the help they need. My son has already learned so much and has shown so much growth already.

This place is amazing if u are looking to sign your child up for karate, or any kind of martial arts! This is the place for your child to start learning in the dojo the instructors are by far great with the students and are super friendly never had a bad experience with this place at all they even help them do better in school by honoring them with strips if their grades are good and teach them about good behavior in and out of the dojo and respect for others and your parents. This place is great you should really look into it if ur child is interested in karate or martial arts!!!

These folks are passionate, organized, resourceful and very affordable!! My 9yr. old son loves it. Great place for boys and girls.

I rated it at 5 star ..

My son started taking classes at Kuk Sool Won of the River Valley at 6 years of age. At the time, he was small and sometimes easily intimidated and I felt like martial arts would be good for his self-confidence. We got so much more than we bargained for! His self-confidence did get a tremendous boost, but we saw improvement in so many other areas - physical fitness, focus, balance, self-defense, motivation, mental strength, good manners, and self-discipline. After watching him for about a year and a half wishing I had the time to take a class myself, I finally bit the bullet and signed up. I havent ever regretted it for a single second. My son and I are both black belts! I have been taking classes for about 5 years and plan to continue as long as I am able. In addition to all of the benefits my son received, its also a great place to come and let the day go - a time to focus on positive things and for improving my mental and physical health. The people in this school have also become like a second family to me and my children. I have the utmost respect for Master Instructor Mike Gray and his family and know that if I ever need anything, they will always do whatever they can to help. Thanks River Valley!

As a current black belt, I can confirm this school is phenomenal at teaching self-discipline, self-defense, and respect. I would definitely recommend this program for anyone of any age, it’s a blast and really helps with crucial qualities in life.

I love it!. It is so cool because it teaches me respect and self-defense. I really like the instructors. They are all so nice and patient with all the students. Kuk Sool Won of the River Valley has given me confidence to do things I never thought I would be able to do. I look forward to going every week. I get to have fun and make friends. I can see myself going here for years to come and getting my black belt.

We absolutely love Kuk Sool Won of the River Valley! Master Gray and all his staff have been nothing but patient and kind to our son who is in their Power cubs class. Hes not only growing his knowledge of martial arts and the forms, his attention span is so much longer know, his manners are impeccable, and his self control is nearly perfect. Its nice to have all the things we teach at home reinforced, and he looks forward to going every week! I would recommend this place to everyone for kids AND adults!

My boys have been taking classes for 3 years and have loved every minute! One son is a DBN and started in the regular curriculum from the start. My youngest started in the Power Cub program and did it for 2 years. He moved to the regular curriculum in January of 2013, and will be testing for his blue belt in November. They have been able to in both their physical and mental conditioning. Master Gray and his staff are wonderful with the boys. If you are looking for a wonderful martial arts program, I would look no further than River Valley Family Martial Arts!!

AWESOME!!!

I am 13 and i have been taking lessons for 5 or 6 years and I have enjoyed every moment of it. I have been in the regular program all my time here and it has been the best experience of my life.The instructors are nice fun and are very patient with everyone. Through my time at Kuk Sool Won of the River Valley I have learned self-control , self-discipline, and manners. I have also made lots of friends and still making new ones today. thanks to Kuk Sool I have done things I didnt know I could do. I have put in lots of hard work and have gotten my first degree black belt, and if anyone is willing to but in the hard work in time they can accomplish it to.I recommend Kuk Sool Won of the River Valley to anyone.

This place is so awesome! My daughter has came out of her shell so much since shes been going here! The instructors are great and super friendly!

My wife and I could not be happier or give any higher recommendation than we give to Kuk Sool Won of the River Valley, Master Mike Gray, and the entire teaching team. After losing interest in baseball two years ago, our son was looking for an extracurricular activity and decided to give Kuk Sool a try. He loved it immediately, due in large part to the engaging teaching staff at Kuk Sool Won of the River Valley. We used to have to force our son to go to baseball practice; now he attends Kuk Sool up to five times a week, and hes the one telling us to take him there. In addition to learning a martial art, our 13 year old son has gained tremendous confidence, is more disciplined in all aspects of his life, and has changed his physical makeup from a reletively soft and weak kid to a stronger, more flexible, and athletic young man. A big thanks to Master Gray and his team for making a huge impact in our sons life. THANK YOU!

I began Kuk Sool Won nearly 3 years ago, and Ive been hooked ever since. KJN Mike Gray and his staff are awesome! Theyre very thorough with the curriculum, and they keep it fun and engaging. Its obvious from the start that they put a lot of time and effort into training the staff, planning the classes, and keeping the school running smoothly. Im very grateful for Mike, Robyn, and the KSW team.

My son has really grown an improved his confidence and focus. They have been very patient with him and he is very proud of all of his accomplishment. You cant get that with a satelite.

Best place to practice martial arts very nice people.

Our boys have been attending KSW of the River Valley for 3 years. In that time, they have grown in many ways.They have become stronger and much more confident. I know if our boys ever had to defend themselves against a bully, they would certainly be able. We are so grateful to KJN Mike Gray, SJN Robin Gray and the rest of the River Valley staff. We have met many wonderful friends at Kuk Sool as well. If you are looking for a place to learn martial arts and self defense, look no further.

In the past two years, my entire family has joined Kuk Sool Won of the River Valley. Our youngest son started in power cubs and has advanced into the regular curriculum. While advancing, he has made tremendous accomplishments in learning how to focus, how to be a team member and how to control his reactions to situations.Since then, my wife and I and our oldest son have joined KSWRV and our entire family enjoys the challenges presented to us to not only advance our technical skills in Martial Arts, but to advance our thinking as positive members of our society.Kuk Sool Won of the River Valley has a very rounded curriculum in body conditioning, skill training and enjoyment of each class. Master Mike Gray and his team do a fantastic job of bringing enjoyment to each class! I strongly encourage each person to consider visiting Kuk Sool Won of the River Valley in Fort Smith, Arkansas and see what an awesome place it is to hangout with friends and at the same time get a great body and mind training program!Thank you Kwan Jang Nim Mike Grey!

I started Kuk Sool Won a little over two years ago since then I have gained so much not only about what we learn in the classroom but also how to go about daily life. When I first started I was worried since I had a injury which I wasnt sure how it and class would go together. Master Gray and the rest of the staff was able to work with me and today I have less pain more flexibility and most of all what was instilled in myself was there is no obstacle I couldnt overcome. I truly believe KJN Master Gray and all the great well trained instructors, and staff make you feel the family atmosphere that they have strived to have and maintain, so when you come in you feel like a part of a family, which thats what we are here at Kuk Sool Won of the River Valley, a family which were a part of a larger on the WKSA family. I decided to bring my two sons in probably 4 to 6 months after I started which meant bypassing other martial art studios and driving 45 minutes just to train and learn the true meaning of martial arts. The youngest son is a Power Cub learning more than just kicks and punchs but how to cross the road, how to deal with strangers (Stranger Danger), and many more lessons showing how to be a responsible child I couldnt be happier. Then there is the older son that is in the youth class learning the same values of hard work and responsibility. I have had so many good things happen here and one of the best things is having my brother join us he also loves the dojang. So I guess what I am saying about Kuk Sool Won of the River Valley is my family has grown, and I couldnt be any happier with the results of joining. Go Kuk Sool Won of the River Valley lets show Fort Smith Ar, that we are number 1 and not going anywhere. WE NEED MORE PRACTICE!

This is the worst possible school you could use DO NOT GO HERE I signed up for this program and let them no I had seizures they said that was fine after signing a contract and payed the sign up fee she told me i could not be part of this school and kept my money and is now charging me monthly I talked to my attourny and they have broken the disability act and are decriminating against my disability I served and was shot for this country do not stand for this type of behavior

Best Martial Arts School ever!!!
