Brisbane Martial Art Sword School – Swordsmanship - Sword Fighting – Kumdo (Gumdo)
There is something fundamental
in owing and using a sword.
For almost all of human existence the sword was a tool and weapon and was man’s companion.
And I’m sure it will remain this way for a long time to come.
Why not learn the ancient martial arts, ethics and philosophy developed since ancient times by Chinese and Korean elite warriors, European knights and Japanese Samurai.
“The Way of The Sword” – The way of the warrior!
Peter believes that the Korean Way of the Sword, through its variety, complexity, dynamism, power and philosophy delivers a system of sword fighting like no other. “If you know Kumdo, you know them all (almost!)”.
