What is Haidong Gumdo?

Have you ever seen in the movies where a master swordsman instantly draws his sword from its sheath, performs fast slashes, then calmly places the sword back in its sheath?

Haidong Gumdo is a Korean Sword Art that draws from battlefield techniques and tactics to build a curriculum for mental, physical and spiritual development. Students learn forms, step drills, sparring, sitting and moving meditation. Adult Black Belts learn bamboo and straw cutting. Unlike Kumdo (Kendo), the focus in Haidong Gumdo is not on dueling but on the tactics of outdoor, pitched battles. Powerful, complex and beautiful, Haidong Gumdo is a wonderful style which can be pursued throughout your life.

But it's more than just "sword tactics". Haidong Gumdo is also about self-reflection, and becoming a better, more confident, more peaceful person.

Gain Speed, Strength, and Laser-Like Focus

To handle the sword with such grace requires a certain level of physical fitness.

That's why, in these classes, you'll train in strength, agility, focus, and coordination in order to reach this point. And along the way, you'll have powerful inner-transformations as well.

It's More Than The Way Of The Sword, It's A Way Of Life

Through the training you’ll become more in touch with yourself, and your mind will become clearer, sharper, and more focused. The ultimate goal of Haidong Gumdo is not to help you become a master with the sword - but to live a better, more peaceful life.

This is the true way of the warrior. The end result:

Making the right decision in any situation becomes easier.
Dignity and calmness replace fear in dangerous situations.
Confidence seeps into all areas of your life.
You gain a truthful and caring attitude towards yourself and others.

My son has been attending for a few years now and loves it. The classes are phenomenal and the instructors and office staff have always been cordial and great to interact with. They all have a special gift with the kids and adults from Little Dragons up to adult classes. Summer camp program is fantastic.

My son has been a student at Iron Dragon for a few months now. He earned his yellow belt this past Wednesday, which may I add was a beautiful ceremony at the school. He was so happy and proud of his accomplishments so far. He loves Master Nat and his fellow students. It is a wonderful teaching environment. Master Nat, Gina, and the leadership team are super supportive and understanding as they teach the students new techniques and things like discipline, respect, integrity, and so much more! We are so glad to have Iron Dragon in our son's life!!!
