Haedong Kumdo Clubs

I’ve been telling a few of my old friends about this Martial Art. Some have expressed an interest and want to find out more. Alas there is hardly anything to be found on the Internet so as I find out details of the various clubs in and around the UK, (World) I’ll post some links here on this blog for anyone to read. If you know of any please feel free to add a comment.

Grading

I don't beleive it! I'm not eligible for this first grading as I am not 'time qualified'. Never come across this before - you were ether good enough or not? How things have changed - can't say I agree with it but hey - I joined the club and they have rules. Grrr - frustrating.

Finding it hard(er)

I can’t do this? It is such a drain and I’m tired all the time after a good training session – sometimes for days. OK, I never expected it to be easy, certainly not a walk through but really, I’m so unfit and so overweight. The combination makes a desparate situation.

Went to see the Doctor this week? He was a great help, not. Still at least I can confirm that I am, in medical terms, defined as clinically obese. It is all down to me - in getting like this in the first place and finding a solution to it!

Got the Jitters

Just having a few jitters after the last lesson. If I say 'Sodo-se' then I guess I don’t have to say to much more to those in the know. I ache in places I never knew I had! Even the 'Kima-se' feels odd and looks even worse. How do they do that! I think I’ll keep this Blog a secret for this first year?

I also need to get a grip of the Korean language - it's nothing like Japanese. Doh! Stupid thing to say!
