Kumdo

Kumdo, meaning "way of the sword", is very similar to Kendo.  Practitioners, using the jukdo (bamboo sword) for striking, wear a helmet and hard body protector so that they are able to practice full contact strikes to the head and body.  Kumdo is an exacting art, with an emphasis on precision and attitude over speed and strength.

Kumdo also encompasses practice with the wooden sword and, eventually, the sharp sword (Kumbub).

Our training is under the direction of Grand Master Moo Yong Yun.  Grand Master Yun is the founder of  the International Black Belt Federation and Kum Ae Dang, our Kumdo/Kumbub organization.

We are also affiliated with the International Kumbub Kumdo Federation of Seoul, South Korea, under the direction of Grand Master Chan Ju Jung.

Our Master Instructor is Master Eric Greenquist, President of the IBBF.
