Haidong Gumdo Demonstration 1

Haidong Gumdo is a Korean style of Swordsmanship. It was developed for fighting multiple opponents on a large scale battle setting and for one-on-one combat with the sword.  We are pleased to be providing you with a slice of what we do;  

  • Kibon Donjak – Basic stances and cutting techniques
  • Gum-bup (Sword Law) – Sword forms, connecting the basic techniques into the myriad combinations that can occur on the battlefield
  • Beigi – Cutting:  paper cutting used to perfect control and accuracy and precision with the blade
  • Mock sparring – to showcase application of the techniques

 Learning Haidong Gumdo is a great way to sharpen your body, mind and spirit.

 Halifax Haidong Gumdo Club is located at Woo Yong’s Taekwondo Academy, 3200 Kempt Rd #102, Halifax, Nova Scotia.

SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) Fight Demo 1
Ever wanted to know what medieval combat was really like? How can two fighters wearing more than 60lbs of steel manage to move let alone engage in a fight? This is your chance to see it happen. The Society for Creative Anachronism, The Barony of Ruantallan and Canton of Seashire are proud to put forth a display of marshal combat for your enjoyment. Sit back as combatants engage in one of two marshal activities, Heavy Fighting (Full Force Full Contact Un-Choreographed Combat) or Fencing with live steel (Think 3 musketeers, where anything from a dagger to a cane can be used to assist you in dispatching your opponent). Listen to the crash of shields and the clanging of blades and transport yourself back to an earlier period in history.
