This past year I began training in Haidong Gumdo. I know that most practitioners today use katana when they train, but have you ever tried using a straight single edged korean-style sword for Haidong Gumdo training? I recently got Kris Cutlery's Korean Sword and have been going through my forms and basic movements, and it is very interesting. The BalDo(drawing of the sword) is not quite as easy to do with a straight blade, and the ChockGum(re-sheathing of the sword) is a lot more difficult. However, the rest of the techniques feel really nice, which I'm sure is largely do to the fact that Kris Cutlery makes some really nice swords. Any way, I was just wondering if anyone else has tried some Korean sword techniques using a more traditional Korean style sword. -Keith Jennings
