Introduction to Kum Ye Do

KUM YE DO" : KUMYEDO is a sword martial art practiced in ancient KOREA by the SAMURANG or SAAURABI WARRIORS from GOGURYO DYANSTY who later played a role in the creation of the Japanese SAMURAI.

1500 Years Ago, there were three kingdoms in Korea.  These kingdoms fought amongst each other and over time each developed their own style of martial arts.  KumYeDo combines the two styles from that time frame.  Korean swordsmanship along with sword dancing.

Kum Ye Do emphasizes concentration, power, and self-control.  It is a very safe martial arts since training is done with a bamboo or wooden practice sword.  Precise control over ones body is essential to achieve Ki Kum Che, or "spirit, sword and body acting as one," when striking with the sword.

Kum Ye Do is both a physically and mentally demanding martial art. Concentration is absolute, conscious thought is suppressed, and action is instinctive. Such training develops the power of resolution and endurance under pressure, which frequently affects the Kum Ye Do student's lives beyond the confines of the training hall.

The mental training teaches you that there is no winner or loser.  You rise above that way of thinking.
