"Hapkido, translated as 'the art of coordinating one's power,' is the pinnacle of Korean martial arts, solely dedicated to self-defense. Its effectiveness is exemplified by its inclusion in the training of United States special forces during the Vietnam conflict. In a self-defense scenario, a Hapkido practitioner doesn't meet attacks head-on but instead stands ground, waiting to assess the situation. When attacked, the Hapkidoist sidesteps, deflects, and counters with a barrage of strikes, kicks, pressure point strikes, joint locks, sweeps, and throws. This approach aims to overpower the opponent swiftly and decisively, capitalizing on their own momentum. While this is the core strategy in Hapkido for conflict resolution, practitioners are also equipped with preemptive techniques for managing confrontations. The ultimate goal of a Hapkidoist is to employ their skills to overwhelm adversaries with strength, speed, and precision."
Jung Shin Gum Sool, known as 'the way of the sword,' traces its origins to Koguryo Gumsool, the sword art practiced by medieval Korean Ssabori warriors. Unfortunately, Korean sword arts faded after a 40-year Japanese occupation. Many Korean sword arts were reconstructed from ancient texts incorporated into Japanese Tojutsu, which translates to 'sword techniques.' Our philosophy aligns with the teachings of the Samurangs, focusing on the unity of body, spirit, and mind, while fostering mental, physical, and spiritual growth. Koguryo Gumsool's practice cultivates both physical and psychological skills, with a paramount emphasis on building and fortifying practitioners' character, ethics, and morality. This transformation is achieved through rigorous training in precise sword skills and their application in fencing.
