Haedong!

Welcome to my personal blog. This site is a record of my progress, development and struggle to attain a Black Belt in Haedong Kumdo – the ultimate Korean Sword Martial Art.

Here on these pages you will be able to join with me and follow my training, grading and achievements; view my failings and pathetic attempts as well as share in my more enlightened moments, as I undertake this personal challenge to once again reach the Dan Grades in a Martial Art.

United Kingdom Web Site

The United Kingdom webiste for Haedong Kumdo has been updated with more photos - the photo on the left is of me and is one of many on the site.


Shaun Hughes has done another excellent job of the design - brilliant job.

United Kingdom Web Site

Just a reminder for everyone who reads the Blog, besides me. Some time ago I set up the Web Site http://www.haedongkumdo.co.uk/ .

I’m pleased to say that the site has now been written properly by a fellow Haedong Kumdo student, Shaun Hughes, who has many skills and talents – one of which also happens to be holding a Black Belt in Tang Soo Do!

I’ve placed a link above and in the Haedong Kumdo Links section of this Blog to the site, which is planned to be the Haedong Kumdo Web Site for the UK. If you need more information please email:

Haedong Kumdo - Finland

Well, I don’t speak any Finnish but I did find this website about Haedong Kumdo from there. If anyone searches YouTube for videos I’m almost certain I recognize these guys (from Bergie’s pony tail) - sorry, but the music is dreadful! Fantastic photos of the Art from dedicated followers though. I hope I’ll meet them one day.

Here is the link http://www.haedong-kumdo.fi/valokuvat/list/all/ it’s well worth a permanent link in the blog. Thanks for the inspiration guys – brilliant cartwheel Jose!

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.
