The Sword Lynx Gumdo for all skill levels! Haidong Gumdo is a Korean sword martial art specializing in fluidity. We focus on application, sparring, and efficiency.

Sign up below! https://app.upperhand.io/customers/1686-fates-fencing-academy/client-memberships/10035 Haidong Gumdo is the Korean art of the sword, a unique combination of both soft and hard style of swordsmanship. Having the sharp stances and power of a hard style like Taekwondo or Iaido, but the speed, fluidity, and calm of a soft style like Taichi, Gumdo tests balance and control while coaxing the student to show speed and precision. Championing the occasional difficult stance but general straightforward structure, Gumdo can be easy to learn, but challenging to hone and perfect.

A very simple draw and put away. I'm sure the one-step associated with it is equally easy!

Is this section great with the ssangsugeom? Alas, no, but it works well with a shorter sword!

Some of the seriously underrated movements in the form.

I want to extend my sincerest gratitude to Master Bryan Ezawa of The Sword Lynx and Head Instructor Chris Hobbs of Steel City Historical Fencing for sharing their expertise with us at the Tempered Minds Sword Seminar 2026 this weekend.

The knowledge and insights you shared were truly invaluable.
