What was it really like to train under a real Grandmaster?
In 1975, three handpicked students were given an opportunity few would ever have: to live and train at "The Pit," a traditional martial arts school run with absolute discipline under the direct guidance of a traditional Grandmaster.
Master Gene Gause was one of those students. With over 55 years of experience, he now shares the training, the environment, and the personal experiences of those early years of Kuk Sool Won in America.
Across 113 lessons, this book records what it truly means to study directly under a master?the physical reality, the mental discipline, and the unspoken intensity of a time and place that no longer exists.
Over 114 full-color images bring the era to life, capturing the environment, the faces of the students, and the spirit of the training without revealing specific techniques.
This is not a general history. It is an honest account of a rare and transformative journey.
Discover "The Pit" through the eyes of a direct disciple.
