Some concerns, Mainly, you start by saying that there are 24 weapons in Kuk Sool. Yet, you go on to name far fewer. Also, categorization needs to be improved. For example, you note both "Sword" and "straight sword" In reality, I believe all the swords are actually straight. To get to 24 you have to "play a little loose." That is "single straight sword, double straight sword, short sword, double short sword, inverted sword, and double inverted sword." Likewise, with the staff, you can get "short staff" and "middle staff" and "jointed staff." Even then, I'm hard pressed to come up with 24. 70.240.89.83 04:28, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

This list appears to be a mix of weapons and techniques for example one would use a sword and could draw and sheath it inverted but it is the same sword.

Archery is another example; the weapon is the arrow, the thumb release unique to Korean archery is a technique.
