🥋 Pyung Kwahn Jahng Nim (PKJN) Jeffrey C. Rigg
5th Degree Black Belt Master
“As a martial artist, I believe in magic. Without it, we would just be kick-boxers.” I began my martial arts education as a wrestler in 1978. My next art was Okinawan Karate taught by Sensei Miyagi. I was introduced to original Korean martial arts through my fellow student Remo Williams. Along the way, I practiced creative conflict resolution using the various Gygax rule systems. In 1999 I looked for a school to begin training and found a wonderful group of instructors teaching Kuk Sool Won™ in South Austin. I know that Kuk Sool Won™ can help me deal with many situations and that the training is always with me, never left behind. I train in Kuk Sool Won™ to round out my skills as a warrior and to improve my conditioning and maintain my health. I find Kuk Sool Won™ to be comprehensive, practical, and enjoyable.

PSBN Roger Meador started his martial arts journey at Kuk Sool Won™ of South Austin under PKJN Dewain Perry in 2006, which became Kuk Sool Won™ of Oak Hill under JIKJN Tim King. While working in the technology and contact center industries sometimes gets in the way of martial arts training, he always returns to Kuk Sool Won™ of Oak Hill to continue training and instructing. PSBN Roger believes in addition to the martial arts training, the discipline, self-reliance, and self-confidence achieved through martial arts have impacted all aspects of his life. Instructing is a way he can give back to the school, students, in addition to continuing his training.
