Feedback of 1st Scandi Open HK Champ

& Haedong Kumdo seminar

on September 16th – 23th in Helsinki

Here is some feedback of the recent Scandinavian Open Championships and seminars held by Grandmaster Kim

The three disciplines of Haedong Kumdo
During the training seminars held on 16th, 17th and 19th day

we came to learn that there are three different schools of swordmanship:

Wesu kum ryu – using a sword with one hand Ssang Su kum ryu – using a sword with both hands together Ssang kum ryu – using two swords simultaneously

As we all know, our style of HK belongs to the Ssang kum ryu,

but we also learn to use one sword with both hands and with one hand.This time we concentrated on practising the Wesu kum ryu, using one sword with one hand.

This kind of practise teaches us the use of our whole body effectively and helps us to understand and learn the Ssang kum ryu also.

It is important to practise the same amount with left hand as with right hand, so that our practise is balanced and more can be learned of the two sword use also.

Championships

The 1st Haedong Kumdo Scandinavian Open Championships were held on September 18th in Helsinki, Töölö Sports Hall.

We were honored by very talented participants from Sweden, Denmark and Finland. Excellent performances of one and two swords kumbups, sparring and cutting were shown, as well as demonstrations by the Swedish and Finnish teams.

The results of the competitions can be viewed here:

http://haedong-kumdo.fi/ajankohtaista/championships_results/
All competitors were well prepared and showed their best skills of HK, for the enjoyment of fellow HK practitioners and the audience.

Indeed it was obvious that there has been much development of skill among all of the participants and we can expect us all to keep developing our skills even more for the coming Eurpean HK Championships held in Greece next year.

Important thing to note is that we are not competing to be better than  our fellow practitioners but to inspire us all to do our very best and thus develop ourselves together.

Hopefully,

all European HK nations will be plentifully present in Greece 2011 to strenghten our brotherly Spirit.

제 2회 스리랑카 해동검도 세미나 후기

The Feedback of 2nd Haedong Kumdo Seminar

■  Subject  : 2010 Haedong Kumdo Seminar

■  Place     : Kandy Library Gym etc. in Sri Lanka

■  Period    : June 20 to 27 , 2010

장소 : 스리랑카 캔디 시 도서관 체육관

기간 : 2010년 6월 20일 부터 27일까지

Organized by M.H.D Iqubal, HK Rep and

Gen. Sec Wasantha Senarathne of Sri Lanka HK Association,

Instructed by Chong Jae Nim, Kim- Jeong Seong

of United World Haedong Kumdo Federation

A. Preface

두 번째로 열게된 스리랑카 해동검도 세미나에선 예상했던 것보다 많은 사람들이 몰려와 문전성시를 이루고, 많은 시간을 소요하면서 접수를 하기 위해 체육관 문 입구 부터 밖에까지 줄지어서 해동검도를 수련하겠다는 많은 사람들과, 체육관 공간이 적어 꽉 찬 상태에서 수련을 하였고, 오히려 인원정렬과 사진 찍는데 많은 시간이 할애 되었는데도 불구하고 많은 참가자들은 아주 흐뭇해 하였고, 아주 보람찬 하루였던 것 같았다.

 

특히 이번 행사에는 비치와 정글에서 해동검도 특별 수련을 하고, 방갈로에서 일박을 하면서 자기 생각을 바꾸고 자기 의식을 바꾸는 정신 교육에서도 남달리 많은 관심을 가지고 잘 따라 와 주었고, 적극적으로 임하는 많은 사람들을 보고는 시간 가는 줄 모르고 사람들과 더불어 즐거웠던 날 들이 연속되었던 것 같다.

At the HK seminar which was held at the Gym of Library in Kandy on 20th June,2010.  Much more participants than last year have joined and trained with being fully occupied, had definitely a great time with all together in the  2010 Haedong Kumdo seminar of Sri Lanka.

There was some instructors and many black belts, many students with the age of 7 to 50′.

The main point in that HK seminar was to learn how to know and realize the foundantal things of martial arts as well as how to do and what to do etc. for both skillful Haedong Kumdo and our better life through Haedong Kumdo in the martial arts.

There was two kinds of important points being taught through that seminar as follows ;

First,

how to keep energy and how it will work and looks like, which is the basic one to have to be learned in the training of Martial arts.

Second,

The training in the martial art with weapon and without weapon is eventually just same.

Wherever I go in the world, whenever or whatever I do into the teaching of HK, If they are my real students without regard to any association in the martial arts, they should know what I am trying to emphersize or what I am doing for letting them understand and realize through Haedong Kumdo for our human life .

I would really like all trainees to come to know something good or special for their better life through Haedong Kumdo Training in the martial arts.

Should remember 3 kinds of code of The Nature as follows;

-. Belief( Love, repect etc.)

-. Sacrfice(serve,help etc for others)

-. Do one’s best

C : Conclusion

At the Sri Lankan Haedong Kumdo Events, as I can have an experience in other countries, I also have a good another opportunity to have a great time through Haedong Kumdo in the martial arts with many good people and good hospitality, very fresh food at the very good environments with good natural views etc.

I can expect for sure that much more people will be had a good chance to be trained HK and enjoy with it as well as they will have much more confidence for their better daily life through HK training. Next year it will be in Sri Lanka again with many people.

See you next year again!!

D.  Feedback of Iqubal,HK Rep of Sri Lanka

Dear Grand Master kim, Happy to hear you.I am sending the feed back of srilankan HK event.
About Training; We are so glade to englighten that this  year what  we gained  was very valuable, and could be remembered in the history of  srilanka, of which we are happy to mention and  ever all  our dearest students would  have realised  the value of it.
We all learnt that our students getting themselves trained without weapons  were more intrested to get involved when they learnt to defend with weapon’s which helpfull all of us a long way, and was  very useful.
And it is further respectfully submitted that the training given at the trincomalee Nilaweli beach was observed to be so intresting and than doing of training any where else outside.This training cannot be forgotten for ever, which was done under water and more harder that normal training.
For the 2nd Hk seminar we at this stage wish to thank our Grand Master Kim Jeong Seong for all the difficulties and keen interest taken to enable us to hold this successfully.

E. A journal

On 19th June

At last. I have arrived at the airport of Colombo via Hong Kong and Singafore.

Iqubal master and his students 6persons have welcomed me with great hospitality and warm at the entrance of gate. After about 3 hours driving together over having some tea on our way to Kandy city, I could arrive at my hotel after almost 24hours have taken since I left from my home in Korea.

http://cafe.daum.net/uwhkf/DvEb/38

After a few hours taking a rest, I had to move forward to the Gym of Livary in Kandy. Many participants was already making a registeration with lining up just in front of the door of Gym as be seen on photos.

Those group was composed of Black belt group and color belt group, Kids group and adult one, so crowaded fully at the gym.

After some words at the beginning, I could started to do it for 2nd Sri Lankan Haedong Kumdo Seminar on 20th June 2010.

I was trying to give them as follows for a short time;

We have done Sparring with one and two sword through this seminar all together. It was one more another chance in Sri Lanka to have a great time in HK training with many students I could do it as much as I can as I used to in the world.

Finally,

One segment of HK seminar today was closed with fully emphasizing very strongly that learnng Skills in the martial arts is important, but most important thing is to do for our better life through martial arts, so we have to know how the fundamental, basic things is working into the both body and mind in the martial arts.

It was a great time with many students and parents anyway.

Tomorrow the HK special training for black belts in HK and other martial arts will be opened at the gym of YMCA in Kandy.

I do hope again that many students will have a great enjoy it and come to know many things through Haedong Kumdo training.

On June 21

The Training at the Akurana Dojang.

We could have one more chance to train HK and have a great time with many students and black belts of Iqubal master.

First time, we have started to train together without weapon and paper cutting and projetors throwing cutting etc.

At the end part of this class, we have also trained to feel the energy by asking of one student.

At this HK class, I have also introduced 2010 Scandivian HK Champ in Finland and 2011 EU HK Championship in Greece, many students have much interest with the participation of that Haedong Kumdo International Events.

On June 22

Early morning, we have started to head on to Tricomalle City where Circuit Bangalo located in. After about 7 or 8 hours driving, we could nearly arrive there. We could have a good time with a great view of seaside at the Bangalo over having some good special food and so on.

Just before we come to Circuit Bangalo, we stopped by Marble Beach to have a fun with some photos.

Years ago, this area had suffered seriously too much due to Sunami, thousands of people had died.  Even 7 or 8 monthes ago, this area was a hard-fought field where Goverment army and Terror was fighting so seriously and so many people died. Now Fortunately, training Haedong Kumdo into the water at the this beach at the period of very peaceful and quite is very ironical in the such kinds of miserable memory in a certain sense.

On our way to Kandy city, we stopped over Koneshwaram Hindu Temple and we have washed our face together over having a good time at the famous Hot Spring Water Wells in Kinniya city.

======================================================================= ========================================================================

A. Preface  A. 서언

우리 일상생활에서 우연적인 일과 필연적인 일, 신비스런 것과 현실적인 것들, 우리가 무명(잘못된 논리와 행동)과

애욕(자기것을 우선으로 함)을 배우고, 자신들의 노력과 체험에 의해 기존 자기 사고의 변환으로 우리의 무지가 확연히

들어나면서 우연스런 일들과 신비스런 일들은 하나씩 벗겨져간다. 결국 우연과 신비는 없다는 것이다.

On our daily incidental life, there are accidental and  inevitable things, mysterious and realistic one and so on.

In fact, we have MUMYUNG(無明) which is false logic and behavioral etc. and EOEUK( 愛慾) which is making

one’s priority by selfish etc. as a human being. By the conversion of the existing self-thinking orignated from their great and continuous efforts and experiences,

Coincidences and Mysterious things will be gone as an onion is peeled it out one by one with exposing obviously

an appearance of the ignorances. Eventually we will come to know there is no the existence of the coincidence

and the mystery in the universe.

우리 무술인들은 일반 종교자나 성직자 들보다 수도하기에, 공부하기에 훨씬 좋은 조건과 위치를 가지고 있다.

무언가를 할 수 있는 기본은 육체적으로 튼튼해야만 생각할 수가 있고, 행할 수가 있고,

필요한 에너지를 내적으로 가지면서 창출하게 되는 것이기 때문이다.

Most of people in the martial arts have a good conditions and constitutions much better than  common religion

or a priest  to study and cultivate by ourselves. Because the foundmental things which is to be able to do something

has to be based on  physically , and then  it can be think and do things as have to be done , and the energy

to be needed with them will be generated internally and mentally.

종교적으로 보면 과거 어느 나라에서 자기 세력을 집권화하고, 정치화하는 데 유리하고 편리하도록 왜곡되고,

알 수가 없으니 몰라 가르칠 수 없으니 경전에서 없어지는 부분들 등등이 많이 보여 짐을 알 수 있다.

그리고 많은 종교자들이 병으로 많이 마지막 생을 마감한다. 우리무술을 무의동원이라고도 했다.

결국에는 무술을 통해 생을 깨치는 방법을 가르친 것이다. 아무리 현실적으로 훌륭하고 존경받는 종교인이라 하더라도

마직막 생을 그렇게 마감했다면, 그들의 수도생활에서 겉과 속이 잘못되어 왔던 것을 확연히 인정해야 한다.

In the past, when we look back over  old dynasty, we can see many of them had been trying to get hold of

making it  as a religious self-ruling power and make it politicize and even make it distort ,

we finally also can find out  some contents of them into the Scriptures could be disappeared

due to ignorance or  impossible to teach without an actual knowledge.

Nowadays we see  many religions who end up with a serious illness at the last. Our martial arts in Korea

was called “MUEUEDONGWON(武醫同原)”- means “Martial arts and the healing art” is origanated from same one

as we know that Medicine is a benevolent art or The physician is a humanitarian calling from ancient times.

our ancestors  in Korea had been cultivated and taught so that we come to know how to make our mental

and phycal things cultivate and have a  realization and enlightenment in reality in the end.

No matter how somebody in  religions have a brilliant and respected religious life , if their last life end up

with a serious illness , they should clearly recognize the actual truth had been went wrong in a certain points

may be wrong into their internal and external religious life for their study.

우리 무술 동작은 어느 한 가지를 놓고 개인 능력에 따라 무한대로 만들어 내어질 수 가 있다.

그것도 결국에는 무한소에 불과할 뿐만 아니라 이미 오랜 세월을 거쳐서 누군가에 의해서 수없이 되풀이 되었다는 것을 알고

느끼게 되는 그 시기에, 아마 조금은 정신적으로 성숙하고 있다고 볼 수도 있을 것이다.

A martial arts movement can be made and created the one of unlimited number depending on personal ability .

In the end, it’s nothing but infinitesimal and even it already had been repeating by lots of people

through generation after generation since the universe formed for a long-long time. When we will be able to come to

know or feel something in them, we may be say we can probably be recognize and see  something muture in our spirit.

과거 한국 현대무술 일세대가 지구촌에서 박치기로, 손날로, 관수 등으로 공중벽돌격파 등등으로 무술을 통한

인간한계이상을 보여주며 많은 사람들을 감동시키며, 우리 무술들을 보급 시켰다. 이제 동양인보다 체격 조건이 좋은

그들도 이제는 격파를 비롯한 많은 부분에서 기술적으로 아주 향상 되어 있다.

한국 일본 중국은 무술종주국으로서 보급하는 나라이라고 본다면, 이에 비해 그들은 계속 수용하면서 배우는 입장이

되다보니 무술 전체의 정보는 그들이 더 많이 가지고 있다 해도 과언이 아니다. 미국이나 유럽 쪽에서 각 무술에 대한

정보를 아주 다양하게 접할 수 있는 것이 그 예가 될 수 있다.

In the globe, the first generation in the modern martial arts from Korea had been spread korean martial arts very much

so many areas with teaching  many kinds of skills showing beyond human limitation in breaking and so on.

Nowadays the skills of many people in western countries with much better phycial condition than Asians have been

promoted and developed so much. so we see recently it would be easy and can be accessible  for us

to take an opportunity to get more information in the martial arts in the US and Europe etc.

이제 지구촌 무술보급의 방법은 많이 달라져야 됨을 강조하고자 한다. 어차피 본인은 본인세대에 내가 할 수 있는 만큼

내 삶을 즐기고, 내가 하고있는 무술을 통해 이의 술기과 이를 통한 영적 성장 등을 바라는 많은 지구촌의 사람들에게

가르치며 살다가 그렇게 가는 것이고, 그 다음의 일들은 다음 세대가 자기 능력대로 자기 원하는 대로 꾸려 나갈 것이다.

So now what I am gonna emphasize is that how to teach and learn martial arts in the  present generation in the globe

should be shown and taught  its diversity and change in that ways.    Anyway I do as much as I can in my present generation, I enjoy my life in the martial arts with my fanmily and my students

and I go as a right thing and teach it many people who would like to long for their spiritual growth and realization

and the development of its skills mentally and phycially  through martial arts as far as I can and as much as I can.

For next things, at least in the martial arts, next generation will take it and continue to do it as they do and

as they wish  depending on their own abilties.

Price for full accommodation is 95 euros. That includes overnighting from Friday 15th May  to Sunday 17th May, all meals on Saturday and Sunday.

There are NO meals on arrival day 15th May, so we ask You to take care that You have some food/snacks with You if You wish to eat in the evening after Your arrival. Training place is in a rather isolated area, so there are no restaurants and bars within several kilometers from that place.

IMPORTANT!!:

Because Finland Headong Kumdo must reserve rooms and meals for participants, we ask You to inform us about number of persons (names) who wish to get full accommondation BY 23RD MARCH 2009. National reps are asked to send that info as ONE LIST.

Payments of accommodation should arrive on below mentioned bank account NO LATER than 31st March. We ask national reps to make bank transaction of ALL participating members from their country before that date. Payment confirms that participants will get promised accommodation.

If payment is not done by above mentioned date, full accommodation can not be provided. Finland HK has to pay all reserved rooms/meals, therefore it is understandable that we need to get payments beforehand from participants. We have to confirm number or participant to Sports center ny 31st March.

3) Fee for training in seminar:

______________________________________________________________

4) Closing dinner in restaurant “Korea House”:

Owner will prepare nice Korean buffet for us. Price will be known after number of participants is known, but it will be reasonable.

For overnighting between 17th and 18th May, we recommend You to reserve a hotel in central Helsinki.

There is very cheap and nice hotel in central Helsinki, called “Omenahotelli”.

http://www.omenahotels.com/

If reserved well in advance, You might get room with 50-70 euros – up to 4 persons in same room with that price. Reservations are to paid by credit card and made online only.

Hotel is very clean and nice, in perfect location in Helsinki city centre, but does not have personel at all. Everything (doors etc) is functioning with codes – all necessary codes are emailed after reservation and payment are done online.

When visiting their website, You can find an English version in the left lower corner of the opening page. When reserving rooms online, make sure that You are reserving room in Helsinki (they have several hotels in Finland).

5) Promotion tests:

______________________________________________________________

6) Dan-doboks:

There are two ways to get dan-doboks and belts, this system is to be used from now on:

1) Doboks and belts can be ordered AFTER successfully passing the test and delivered by post to the national rep who hands them to promoted person.

2) Doboks and belts can be ordered BEFORE test, and delivered by post to national rep. Then national rep/candidates will bring them to promotion test – and dobok and belt will be handed to the candidates if the test is successfully passed.

______________________________________________________________

7) Payments of dan-tests:

____________________________________________________________

8) About bamboo cutting:

Finland HK does not have enough plastic bamboo and we are not planning to order it for seminar. Therefore, You should bring your own pieces of bamboo – to be used in demonstation and tests. We have two stands, not very stable. That will truly test the skill of cutting…

_______________________________________________________________

9) Memory list of things what reps are asked to do:

6) Delivering applications of dan-candidates directly to UWHKF by the end of March 2009.

7) Ordering dan-doboks either before or after testing.

______________________________________________________________

In general, this seminar is meant to higher belts: black belts and black belt candidates. We have a capacity for 42 persons for full accommodation. Therefore, in case that there are not enough rooms – we have to limit number of participants to higher belts.

Black belts will participate EVERY training during seminar. For lower belts, training will be little less. Some of lower belt trainings will be conducted by EU HK black belts. Lower belts will train in separate group.

This time, we can not accept white and yellow belts to seminar. If necessary, separate trainings will be organized to green -red belts (one group) and black belts (few groups, according to dan-degree).

Every participating country should perform in opening ceremony demonstrations.

008 European Haedong Kumdo Seminar, Ballina, Ireland

By Leave a Comment

Scoil Padraig, Ballina was the chosen venue for the Haedong Kumdo European Instructor Seminar, 2008, and some of the best instructors from across Europe travelled to study and learn under the eminent Grandmaster Kim, Jeong Seong, 9th Dan.

On Saturday the 2nd there was an open seminar for both instructors and students, where Grandmaster Kim taught a variety of skills, including Kumbup (Forms) and Cutting.

During the course of the open seminar, Grandmaster Kim was assisted by some of the instructors from around Europe, each advising the students on how best to develop their skills and performance.

After the open seminar, each country present gave a demonstration of skills.

First up in the demonstrations was Ireland, with each of the three active Irish Dojangs making a presentation by both Instructors and students, Kumbup and Creative Kumbup by Martin O’Malley and his students, Creative Sparring by Steven Kelly and his students and Paper cutting by Harry Thompson and his students.

Next up was Sweden, who performed Kumbup, Team Kumbup, bamboo cutting and apple slicing, including a jump turning cut by Swedish Haedong Kumdo President, Pierre Sundin.

Paul Giffen from England gave a performance of Ssang Kum Chak-Baldo (Two Sword Drawing Form), followed by the Finish Team presenting Kumbup, Ssang Kumbup and paper cutting with the live sword from Finish President Mika Väyrynen.

Grandmaster Kim himself then gave a performance of two sword Kumbup, demonstrating the skills and ability which make him one of the Worlds greatest sword masters. His awe inspiring demonstration had everyone enthralled despite being tired from the morning session, they returned to their training with great enthusiasm.

Day one ended with grading examinations, Keup Gradings for the Irish Students and Dan Gradings for some of the European Teams. From the Keup Gradings, congratulations must go to Emma Flannery, Amy Vahey, Chloe Mullen, Darragh Mullen, Caoimhe Ryan and Fergal Rowe who were all awarded their yellow belt, and to Lorraine O’Malley and Russell Colman who were awarded their blue belt.

While for the Dan Gradings, congratulations to Henri Bergius from Finland on being awarded his 1st Dan, to Robin Pettersson, Sebastian Andersson and Magnus Brännström from Sweden on achieving their 2nd Dan.

A very special congratulations must go to Pierre Sundin from Sweden and Mika Väyrynen from Finland on being awarded their 3rd Dan after an extremely difficult examination.

They set themselves apart as leading the way on skill development for Haedong Kumdo in Europe.

After presenting the Certificates for the Dan Gradings, Grandmaster Kim then announced the new members of the European Union Haedong Kumdo Union, presenting membership certificates to Sebastian Andersson, Magnus Brännström from Sweden, Harry Thompson and Stephen Kelly from Ireland, Henri Bergius from Finland and Paul Giffen from England.

Grandmaster Kim then appointed Mark Adlington from England as Special Advisor to the European Union Haedong Kumdo Union, Mika Väyrynen as General Secretary, and Pierre Sundin, Christophoros Christodoulou from Greece and Martin O’Malley as the three Vice-Presidents of the Union. Congratulations to all on their new appointments.

Day two of the seminar was for Black Belts only, where Grandmaster Kim took the group through from Ssang Su Kumbup number 1 to 12, Simsang Kumbup, Yedo Kumbup numbers 1 to 9 and onto Bonkuk Kumbup before moving on to teaching Ssang Kumbup. This part of the seminar concentrated on furthering the knowledge of the Black Belts present, while giving them specific details to work on to improve their skills.

All told, this was another exceptional weekend of learning under Grandmaster Kim, who is world famous for both his personal skill and his teaching ability. Martin O’Malley, President of Haedong Kumdo Ireland said that ‘We are very grateful to Grandmaster Kim for travelling to Ireland to present this seminar, and to each of the teams who travelled from across Europe. This seminar was a success because of the efforts of everyone who attended, and we would like to thank them for their support. We wish to congratulate those who were awarded the various grades and we are looking forward to meeting them all again in Finland for the next European Haedong Kumdo seminar in 2009’.
