  • In Korea, at least, one attends five to six classes a week, and takes about two to three months to advance one gyup grade. So maybe one gyup grade for 40 to sixty classes. But only in one style of HDGD, and not in all dojangs.

    I've been training for about a year, and am 4th gyup. I have about another nine to 12 months left. I train for 90 minutes three times a week, and two hours thirty minutes twice a week.

    The type of gumdo really affects one's advancement.

  • lol ... :D nice... hahaha...:'D (its kinda cute watching little kids perform things like this)

    wow but it kinda scary how fast little kids learn...eh..:S

  • Yes, it's rehearsed, which is why it goes on for so long. Historically, fights did go like this, but with more skill. They are kids, after all, and 'only' first-dan level.

    First dan is reached after about 10 months to a year. After a year most kumdo/kendo people have been sparring for only three months, and would not be a good example of high-level fighting.

  • Weird? Well, if by 'kumdo' you mean daehan kumdo, the Korean form of kendo, then kicks are off limits. But this is haidong gumdo, in which kicking is legal.

    I've done both kendo and haidong gumdo, and kendo-style fights are shorter because the objective is to win, whereas gumdo is a display of skill, rather than a competition to see who can hit the other guy with a bamboo sword.

  • this is so cute :)
