Why teach multiple types of weapon techniques?
Weapons training in Ko Am Mu-Do are essential for very important reasons. It is not only for mental balance, but for physical conditioning as well, especially flexibility and coordination in the upper body. Learning to properly use a weapon helps the body and mind achieve a natural balance through the required use of both the right and left sides of the body. Hand-Eye coordination and concentration increases. Another reason to train with a weapon is the fact that if you understand how a weapon is used, you will be better able to defend yourself against that weapon. And besides that, learning to use a weapon is fun!
