History of haidong gumdo

Haidong Gumdo is the martial art of the ancient Goguryo Kingdom (AD 331). Master Sul Bong established a dojang and taught his apostles, who were eventually called the Samurang. The Samurang learned the sword martial art based on patriotism, filial piety, respecting the elderly,
and executing righteousness. The Samurang were always at the front line of the battle against injustice. In recent days, Master Jang Baek San passed down the martial art of Haidong Gumdo to Mr. Jeong-Ho Kim in 1961. Mr. Kim modernized the art and established the World Haidong
Gumdo Federation on November 25, 1996.
