  • HDGD is not a sword art that originates from ancient Korea. It was created recently by some persons. The founders testified as such at the Korean law court.

    Why doesn't they use the traditional Korean sword “Hwando (環刀) ”? KRIGATA and SAGEO for thrusting into a belt are the features of Japanese sword. It is not the traditional Korean sword.

    I can never find such old Korean sword or Korean soldier's photograph.

    The traditional Korean sword was hung at the waist or the shoulder.

  • 朝鮮王朝實録:The Annals of the choson Dynasty (The True Record of the Korean Dynasty)…

    【June 11, 1480】矧惟國人, 不慣槍劍, 專業弓矢, 爲禦敵之備

    The people were not accustomed to use of sword or spear, defended from enemies only by archery...

    【October 13, 1592】上敎政院曰“我國絶無劒手”

    The king said “There was no swordman in our country at all”...

    【July 11, 1594】我國自古劍術不傳

    There has not been descendent any swordplay from ancient time in our country...

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

    [It is an official document at a 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 (in the 17th century ! ).

    購得戚繼光紀效新書遣訓局郎韓嶠遍質東來將士

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

  • yo como practicante de este arte marcial quiero felicitar a los participantes en corte de bambu y sigo practicando para tener la misma velocidad los felicito y estoy muy impresionado con la velocidad que tienen felicidades de parte de HDGD MEXICO

  • It is far apart from martial arts.

  • Momentum, yes. Sharpness, yes. Accuracy, yes, if you take that to mean that not only do you strike where you aim, but also that the plane of your blade is aligned with the plane of the cut. If it's not, you will not make it through the bamboo. It's not as easy as it looks.

  • so, practice, film it, post it.

    not saying you couldn't do it with a european sword, i just think it would be a real cool video :)

  • With enough practice I could do this with my Zweihandler. It's all about momentum, sharpness, and accuracy.

  • because?

    Oyama was (also) Korean, but he developed the strongest Japanese karate!
