JungShin Gum Sool is a sword-based martial art known as “the techniques or way of the sword”. Koguryo Gum Sool is reminiscent of the sword art of the ancient Ssabori warriors of Korea. The arts of Korean swordsmanship disappeared after the 40-year occupation of Korea by the Japanese. Most of the Korean Sword arts are recreations of ancient Korean text incorporated to Japanese Tojutsu (刀術) which translates literally as "sword techniques ".
Our system incorporates concepts from both Korean and Japanese schools of swordsmanship. Incorporating Japanese, J. Kenjutsu - K. Kumsool (剣術), J. Battōjutsu - K. Kumboup (抜刀) , J. Iaijustu - K. Kuhapsool (居合術) principles. Ken Justu techniques can be compared to the strategies of warfare, while Batto-Jutsu can be compared to shooting range techniques. Battō-jutsu usually incorporates multiple cuts after drawing the sword. The emphasis of training in J. iaidō - K. Kuhapdo is on reaction to unknown situations or reacting to sudden attacks. Iaijutsu is the art of drawing the sword.
Training regimen commonly includes the practice of battlefield techniques without an opponent and techniques where two persons paired kata (featuring full contact strikes to the body with armor for more advanced practitioners and no body contact strikes permitted for beginners). Historically schools incorporated sparring under a variety of conditions, from using a solid wooden sword (J. bokutō - K.mokgeom) to the use of a bamboo sword (J. Shinai - K. Juk-To) and armor (J. Bogu - K. Hogu).
