I am not sure what it is about learning the sword that sparks our imagination of warriors  who fought with courage, honor and a purpose other than their own, but it does!

The greatest swordsmen in the world have spent years forging their body, mind and skills.  By learning the way of the sword, it is a way for us to connect with those ancient warriors and allows us to understand what it must have been like, to live back then.

What Style Of Sword Do You Teach?
We teach a Korean style of swordsmanship called Haidong Gumdo.  It was developed over 2,000 years ago for fighting multiple opponents on a large scale battle setting and for one-on-one combat with the sword.  It uses various cuts, thrusts and blocks to form one of the most well rounded sword arts ever.

Why Learn Haidong Gumdo?
What separates Haidong Gumdo from other sword arts is its simple, effective and fun to learn curriculum.  It was designed so that anyone of any age or physical ability could learn. 

What Will I Learn?
Students will learn various ways to move and cut with the sword by learning a variety of fun and challenging forms called Gumbup, Korean for sword form.  Forms are prearranged sequences of movements based on the thousands of ways a person can attack or defend with the sword. 

Once a student reaches a certain level of proficiency and has demonstrated the maturity and responsibility to handle a real sword, they will learn how to use a real sword called a Jingum in Korean, to cut straw mats and bamboo poles.  

If a student chooses they may also participate in full contact sword sparring with foam swords.  This is a lot of fun and a great workout!
