What is Kumdo?Kumdo is a Korean martial art that focuses on the art of swordsmanship. It is rooted in traditional Korean and Japanese sword-fighting techniques and emphasizes discipline, precision, and mental fortitude. Practitioners learn proper stance, striking, blocking, and sparring using a bamboo sword (jukdo) and wooden sword (mokgum), progressing to more advanced techniques and forms. Kumdo is not just about physical combat – it’s about developing focus, respect, and inner strength while mastering the way of the sword.
