Is it like Iaido or Kenjutsu?
I suppose comparisons to Japanese arts are inevitable and throughout this site I make those comparisons myself as it seems to be the fastest way to explain some things. Hai Dong Gumdo is a martial art for self-discovery and improvement. Its focus is on battlefield sword use. The curriculum covers attacks from the draw, forms, breakfalls, cutting with real swords, abdominal breathing meditation (danjon ho-up) and moving meditation (ki gong), armoured and unarmoured sparring as well as unarmed combat.
