Experienced tutor in Martial arts in Irvine, James offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

If you’re looking for the real deal, you’ve found it. It can be hard to determine who to entrust your practice to with so many options for teachers and styles out there right now in martial arts. Master Dunchok stays very true to the art, tradition, and lineage of Kuk Sool Kwan, which encompasses everything (and then some) of any other fighting style out there. I highly recommend him and his studio. Suitable for all levels, from novice to expert.

This is truly a life enhancing experience.

I walked in as a curious 29 year old not knowing much about martial arts, and not the most confident about my abilities to protect myself and family from extreme circumstances.

Regardless of if a threat was ever going to happen; I felt that I needed to be ready for it.

Master Mike has been key to my learning and development. His ability to teach and transfer his knowledge surpasses many of the coaches I have had during my professional basketball career.

My only regret is that I didn’t join earlier in my life.

I walk in dark alleys confident that I’m ready for anything.

When people walk behind me, I’m prepared for anything.

And this allows me to be calmer and more grounded. No wild thoughts enter my head. No impractical worries take space in the sanctuary of my mind.

I’m in the warmth and solace of my abilities and find calmness and confidence because of all my lessons in martial arts.

I recommend this to any and everyone.

Master Mike Dunchok provides the perfect training atmosphere and comprehensive classes for everyone, whether you're a first time fighter, hardened ring vet or just looking to get in shape. At Ancient Arts you'll find the training you need and meet amazing people, forging friendships that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend coming and joining the Kuk Sool family :)

Within a few months, I've experienced a profound amount of growth both spiritually and physically. Ancient Martial Arts has allowed me to tap into an inner source I hadn't even known existed. Master Dunckok has a special way of teaching and catering to student needs. Extremely talented, he's also funny and easy to like. I'm extremely happy to have become his student in Hapkido and QiGong.
