Gongkwon Yusul Austria.: The Success Story of Master Mario Lappas

Hello,

My name is Mario Lappas, and I run a Taekwondo school in Western Austria.

My journey with Korean martial arts began through Taekwondo and Hapkido. Through training, I developed a deep respect for Korean culture and martial philosophy. But everything changed when I visited Korea and experienced Gongkwon Yusul for the first time.

It was not something I had planned. I joined a program out of curiosity, simply wanting to explore something new. But from the very first moment, I felt something different. Gongkwon Yusul was not just another martial art. It had a unique flow, a different rhythm, and a depth that immediately drew me in.

I found myself completely captivated. It felt familiar, yet entirely new at the same time. That balance between structure and freedom, between control and expression, made it unlike anything I had experienced before.

Today, I teach both Taekwondo and Gongkwon Yusul to my students. It has not been long since I began this journey, but every day I continue to learn, to explore, and to grow. The more I train, the more I realize how much there is still to discover.

What inspires me the most is seeing Gongkwon Yusul expanding across the world. It is no longer just something local. It is becoming something global, connecting people from different countries through one shared movement.

Every class feels like a new adventure. Every training session brings new understanding. And every student who steps onto the mat becomes part of something bigger than themselves.

I hope that one day, more people around the world will experience Gongkwon Yusul, train together, and build deep friendships through this art.

If you are looking for something meaningful, something that challenges you, and something that connects you to a global community, this is your opportunity.

A Gongkwon Yusul certification is not just a title. It is a step into a new world, a world where movement becomes connection, and training becomes a shared journey.

Your journey can begin today.
