Haedong Kumdo is a Korean Martial art based on the use of the Korean sword: a curved single edged sword. Haedong Kumdo is a modern system compiled from the ancient traditional sword techniques of Korea. The movements are primarily circular and derive their power from centrifugal force of the body. Training develops strength, coordination, balance, focus, stamina, speed and flexibility. Although largely unknown in the Western world, Haedong Kumdo is widely becoming more popular in Korea
We were invited to watch a Haedung Kumdo training session as part of the sports lession at Gyeongji primary school. Unfortunately we only had an hour to spare so were not able to experience the martial art first hand. However watching was enough of a treat to keep us going for the rest of the journey
