Since the mid-1970s, Master Philip has played a prominent role in helping to establish, develop, teach and promote Kuk Sool in the UK, appearing on national, as well as local TV. In 1989, he was appointed as a Kuk Sool Won UK Chief Instructor by Grandmaster Suh and presently holds the rank of 8th Degree Black Belt.
