      Capital Northeast Haidong gumdo (Sword Art)

      General Info

      Haidong Gumdo originated in the ancient kingdom of Korkuryo. In the beginning Sulbongsumin, who mastered the secret of swordsmanship, established the training dojang (school) called Samurang, and taught his disciples Gumdo the ?Way of the Sword? Samurang became the origin of the Samurai in Japan. Samurangs adopted loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, justice, faithfulness, intelligence, virtue and physical soundness as their ideals for the training of the mind and body. They served the Great King of Kwangkaeto ( 371 ? 384 AD ) to build a great and mighty kingdom. In recent days, Master Jang-Baik-San of Kwanak mountain a direct successor of Haidong Gumdo instructed Master Jeong-Ho Kim. Presently founder and President of the World Haidong Gumdo Federation ( WHDGF ), Master Kim has established over 400 schools in Korea and 1,000 schools in 30 other countries outside of Korea. Haidong Gumdo means the ?Light? of the sword as the ?Energy? rising up in the morning in the Eastern sea. Haidong Gumdo is a Korean sword art that draws from battlefield tactics and techniques to build a curriculum for mental, physical and spiritual development. In modern Haidong Gumdo, students learn prearranged forms, combat drills, sitting and moving meditation, sparing as well as * bamboo and straw cutting. Unlike Kumdo (Kendo) the ancient sword art of oriental fencing using a bamboo sword (jukdo), the focus in Haidong Gumdo is not dueling but on the tactics of outdoors pitched battles.
