Visit Ancient Arts Health and Wellness Center

Dedicated to the ancient principles of harmonious living, Ancient Arts Health and Wellness offers Chinese Medicine, Herbs, and Acupuncture to Irvine and South Orange County. Started by martial arts master Michael Dunchok, Ancient Arts Health is a placid setting devoted to well being on all levels.

This is a Real Martial Arts Dojo, including striking, submissions, and higher level skills intended for self-defense, special forces, or bodyguards. Kuk Sool is for self-development and self-awareness, and therefore, the superior skills that can only be found in a refined, cultivated psyche.

Ancient Arts Dojang is the US headquarters for Kuk Sool Kwan Hapkido (국술관), but also offers a host of other classes and services including Ju-jitsu, Taijiquan, Aikijutsu, Yoga, Personal Training, Acupuncture, Oriental Music and a Children’s Program.

In the acupuncture department, Mike is amazing. Hands down, Mike is an amazing healer. Why? Because it works! I don't know what he does, but it works for me. I've been to other acupuncturists, but Mike is something else. It's whatever he puts into it - his healing, his energy, his everything. It's fantastic and I tell everybody.

Mike used acupuncture for my strained right knee MCL. The insertion of needles was painless, and the joint recovered to the point where I did not have to continue the physical therapy I had undergone months prior.

It's always a good time, and every day is a little different. I've been more active and have more energy because of class, and if I get into a fight I know how to defend myself. Best class I've ever been to!

I've been studying Kuk Sool Kwan for three years and what a difference! When I first joined I did not realize the things I would be able to do. I'm in my 40s and in the best shape of my life.

Very few schools offer knowledge as well as good clean technique. At other schools I never really understood the history of the things i was doing or the why.

I've been training for over 2 years and there's still so much to learn! Classes are always energetic and fun!
