Boy some of you are funny. If any of you critical people ever competed, you know that no one is 100% all the time. So a slip on the roll- he didnt fall over and most everything else was awesome. The sound tells the cuts are right on. You should know- The sword is supposed to do the work not the user. Also HDGD has been embraced by TSD Mi Guk Kwan - When they compete in HDGD Tourny they wear the proper uniform. This is Weapons division in TSD Tourny hence the Uniform. Where is your Video?

Nice one! Kudo's from Wieser Idaho! Nice job on the form, and everyone can complain about the slip ( but where are their videos lol) and debate about sword origins, but in the end, everything was really great. A lot of practitioners have poor stances, but yours were long and strong. As for HDGD's origins, I really don't care to all those debating, I have seen the same post on hundreds of videos. It's an effective sword art, no matter where it came from. Check out my 3-section staff form!

武藝圖譜通志Muye Dobo Tongji (1790) : Comprehensive Illustrated Manual of Martial Arts in Korea

【 It is the official document at Korean Dynasty, written by The Korean King order in the 18th century 】

國練兵之制三軍練于郊，衛士練于禁苑，其禁苑練兵盛自 光廟朝，然止弓矢一技而已如槍劍法技，既未之聞焉，

Archery was the only martial art that had been practiced by Korean soldiers. They have no skills of sword or spear fighting.

Therefore, Koreans began learning sword skills and others from Chinese .

Slip or not, this form takes a lot of energy, accuracy, balance and coordination to perform. this master performed this form in an extraordinary  manner. My hat goes off to you Master Tabone. Great job. Doksoori!

“Corea has no Samurai. She lacks what Japan has always had - a cultured body of men, superbly trained in both mind and body, the soldier and scholar in one, who held to a high ideal of loyalty, patriotism, and sacrifice for country. “

(William Elliot Griffis, Corea, Hermit Nation, 1894)

you guys should check out "mrblackbelt42" channel he has really good form

[KSJoshWhite]

Wonderful form! I was very suprised by the speed and accuracy; you've certainly practiced long and hard! Don't worry about the leg cramp on the roll. It has happened to every single person out there (whether or not we like to mention it! ^.~) Its alot better than doing your first two cuts and going "o.0 I don't remember this form" at a compeition for Grand Champion, I'll tell you that! Great work sir!

For someone who has trained in TSD as well as HDGD, I would suggest that the honorable dan member please study the form a bit closer. The cut lines need to be observed more closely, as well as the stance work. Good job on the roll! That's one area I have trouble with as well. Please don't sacrifice quality cutting for speed and showmanship. Let the form speak for itself.
