Does it include Taekwondo?

I studied KSW for 3 years it is very similar to Hapkido. It has many kicks like Tae Won Do, joint locks& throws of Hapkido/jui Jitsu + weapons. I question all the "History" of it but it is a pretty well rounded Martial Art.

Tae kwon do is the national South Korean art. It is a unification of nine arts and is influenced by Japanese karate. Kuk Sool is from an area close to the China /North Korea border, and it is very much like kung-fu. There are animal forms and exotic weaponry. Kuk sool is also more concerned with chi development that tkd.

Kuk Sool Won is a comprehensive Korean martial arts system founded by In Hyuk Suh in 1958. The name Kuk Sool Won translates to "National Martial Art" and it is currently taught worldwide with hundreds of registered schools. Founded as martial arts system and not a martial arts style, Kuk Sool Won is generally not limited to any single discipline. The martial art system attempts to be a complete study of all Korean martial arts.
As a traditional martial art, Kuk Sool Won traces many of its roots back to the ancient and prehistoric martial arts used thousands of years ago. The study of Kuk Sool Won also includes many modern day techniques such as gun defense and weapon improvisation. Kuk Sool Won has many facets and is performed for self-defense, healing, conditioning, competition, fun and aesthetic purposes.

Kuk Sool Won is more like Wushu, it is a comprehensive system that teaches the traditional weapons and empty hand forms of Korea.

yes. most korean martial arts are interrelated.. all korean martial arts (for the most part) are branches of the original korean martial art, soo bahk doo, which was founded by Hwang Kee.
