KUMDO
HISTORY
Introduce your child to the ancient and dynamic art of Korean swordsmanship!
Kumdo (the Way of the Sword) is more than just martial arts training—it’s a powerful path to building lifelong physical coordination, mental clarity, and self-discipline.
Designed specifically for growing minds and bodies, our youth Kumdo program teaches safe, foundational sword techniques using specialized training equipment.
Safety is our top priority. Students start with safe practice swords and progress at their own pace under expert supervision.
-------------------------------
The Philosophy of KumDo: “Kal-deung is the sky and Kal-nal is the land, therefore Kal itself produces the combination of Um and Yang (Yin and Yang). Son-jap-yi is a king and Kal is the subject to the king’s will. Abusing Kal could cost one’s life, therefore, there should be Do (Way) when handling Kal (Sword). That is KumDo.”
KumDo is traditional Korean swordsmanship, which is more than a sport. It is a form of art that is considered both a discipline as well as a sport. KumDo is both physical and psychological training. First of all, with Kum (sword), one can practice to improve one’s physical fitness, by practicing various attacks, blocks and forms. Do (the Way) helps control one’s mind and inner desire. All KumDo activities help growth of muscle, bone and enhance vital energy. KumDo is a way to defend oneself with physical improvement and regulation of one’s health and longevity.
