Feedback of French Haedong Kumdo Seminar in 2011 in Paris, Lyon, Montpelliar, Axi, France by French Haedong Kumdo Association from 25th March to 5th April 2011.
PART-2 The fundmental essence of Haedong kumdo and the principle of the Nature – LOVE
Training in the Martial Arts emphasises a sound mind, sound thinking, and sound behavior.
It is said that just keeping this simple principle is enough, because by following these few rules we can achieve the realisation of the true meaning of life or personal enlightenment.
Just by practicing what is right at every moment, the degree of Naekong (Inner Power) accumulates with each passing day, and may be seen by amount of Unconditional Love one is able to demonstrate, despite the hardships that we all have to face in life.
So when we just try to feel the flow of energy, try to know, see and keep & follow it, then the power of Nature affects to the present state of things by many kinds of figures around us as it changes and does over and over continuously, sometimes strongly or weakly, sometimes much or a little, long or short and so on according to the degree of Inner Power and the amount of Love as well.
What we perceive with continuously different objects , sometimes according to the individuals’ accumulated practice or love for Nature.
For instance, acupuncture has no fixed or cure-all points. It’s because acupuncture helps to circulate the energy of Nature ( Ki/Chi ) in a given moment with different ways.
Only human beings with sound mind and those who practice (serve or sacrifice) with sincerity for others, can heal others’ diseases.
By trying to see the flow of energy and recognise it, and finally come to know ourself, we can know others as well.
As we come to feel and see, recognising every phenomena around us, we can reach a level from which we can not only heal our own injuries but also those of others.
In martial arts practice, with self-recognition or realization of the principle of basic movement, others can be taught with an earnest and unselfish mind,
thus then they may also have some healing power and the ability of perceiving thers’ pains through having a constant and stable mind.
I am sure that it’s the same with martial art, that every action can be ultimately eval!uated by the amount of love, that is demonstated by the practitioners behaviour in daily life.
Unconditonal Love is easy to say, but in the modern world it takes great effort and self disipline in order to maintain this state of awareness in everyday life.
For this, we need long-time enduring practice with personal disipline for our whole lifetime.
We should recognize the truth as quickly as possible in our lives so that we can realise that we exist to learn about love and then practice it for a better life with happiness, and thereby increase the overall level of love on this ground, the so-called “an Earth”, which is actually a minute particle in the universe.

PART-1 The fundmental essence of Haedong kumdo and the principle of the Nature – LOVE
Feedback of French Haedong Kumdo Seminar in 2011 in Paris,Lyon,Montpelliar,Axi, France by French Haedong Kumdo Association from 25th March to 5th April 2011.
PART-1 The fundmental essence of Haedong kumdo and the principle of the Nature – LOVE
The fundmental essence of Haedong Kumdo is not just about a martial art, but also that of our lives, and more of the Universe.
It gives us the wisdom to do what we are doing in our daily lives more earnestly.
The main purpose of this article is to emphasize what we should learn and gain from Haedong kumdo, based on my own experience of training and healing cases: this view is quite different from that of traditional Haedong Kumdo
The healing process can be summarized as follows :
-. The adjustment of unbalanced body posture The unbalance of body from unhealthy habits in daily life, often cause several symptoms like chronic pains in back, shoulder or neck.
These postural imbalances are known to have a close relationship with internal and/or mental diseases.
Practicing Haedong Martial Arts can be said to have heal ing effect in recovering postural imbalance, and thus help patients who have suffered from those chronic diseases, to alleviate their pains.
-. therapy to relax fascia
Bones are generally said to take a role in keeping body posture, but fascia, or connective tissues including muscles, take a more important role.
When part of the fascia is transformed or deviates abnormally, the muscles around it get stiff and also the bones become stressed in an attempt to compensate for this.
When these abnormalities continue, they may cause several internal diseases (like asthma, diabetes, cancer, etc) and even mental diseases.
The basic principle of bioscience in this case is such: firstly, induce the movements in blood vessels by soft stimulus against the fascia.
And then restore once unbalanced parts.
-. Help to activate each organ by penetrating clogged blood vessel with one’s own energy.
-. Acupunctures will help each organ recover normal functions and balance
with the energy of Nature.
-. Moxibustion will remove bad energy and help revive the function of each organ
by circulating the energy of the Universe into the body.
-. A Natural Powder for cleaning organs in our body and
for making our body activate and energize.
-. God’s light, energy wavelength, love, energy, and power are called differently, but all have the same origins.
Consequently,
outer balance with the readjustment of the body posture and fascia is a relaxing therapy promoting communication with the energy of Nature and thus recovering the body from the internal imbalance of energy.
At this point holistic self healing becomes possible.
Finally, What I am trying to explain in the above regarding healing, is that wherever I go in the world, my own personal efforts are merely a conduit for the Universal life force or God energy.
I can say like this for sure, because the energy of the Nature(LOVE) will take care and manage, the overall effectiveness of the treatments and teachings, will vary according to the degree of the person’s cultivation & discipline etc.
Even though the stages to heal human pains can be inferred, modern medical science isn’t enough to explain how far the Nature works or affects in and out of our body.

‘Is all this really related to Haedong Kumdo?’
While searching the internet, I was really surprised to see just how many websites
there are relating to mental and spiritual training within the Martial Arts.
I have also had people who have read our website asking the question
– ‘is all this really related to Haedong Kumdo?’
In an effort to help clarify the situation, and to help everyone to understand,
I am going to try to explain things from my perspective.
If you still have questions, please, just ask.
As you already know, back in 2007 I introduced the subject of
Relax, And Feel The Energy, at the 2007 seminar held in Helsinki, Finland.
This concept, we used throughout our physical training in Haedong Kumdo,
and it marks the first stage in our progress.
At the first Spiritual Growth seminar, organised at the time of
the 2010 Scandinavian Haedong Kumdo Championships,
I introduced the second stage, Focus, And See It. The third stage,
I intend to introduce at the 2011 European Haedong Kumdo
Championships in Greece, Realise, And Do It.
Through my own personal experience in Haedong Kumdo,
I have gained a greater awareness of many different things,
some related to training, some related to life itself.
It is because of this greater awareness that I approach Haedong Kumdo training,
and teaching with great pride and confidence.
My gains have been so great that I wish to share these experiences
with my students, so that they too can experience them.
As I travel around the world, people are always asking me,
‘what is the most important thing to practice?’, ‘what do we have to do?’,
‘how do we do it?’ etc. I always try to answer these kinds of questions
according to the individual’s level of experience.
Now, I am developing documents such as this one and publishing them
on our website, to assist all of my students in their own growth and development.
Relax, And Feel The Energy,
as I said above is the first step.
This helps us to perform well in Haedong Kumdo training.
Everyone understands that we need to make our body stable and
strong so that we can use the sword well, and even become a good teacher.
Through this strength and stability,
we can become aware of the energy moving through our body.
This in turn helps us to develop our skills with the sword.
Even when we have achieved a high level of physical ability,
what is next for us? What more can we learn, or realise
through continuous cutting practice?
To answer these questions, we need to examine ourselves, honestly
and make a deep study of these questions.
We can achieve so much, become so effective and
efficient in our movements if we can really try to understand
how to Feel The Energy flowing through ourselves.
The Second Stage of our progress, Focus, And See It.
Focusing on something is easy, but seeing what is hidden from our view
requires learning from a great teacher. Sometimes, some people
can have fleeting moments of clarity, but equally so, for others,
they never get to achieve, even these fleeting moments
before they pass away. This can be explained
because different people have different original energy.
For Example – Everyone, is familiar with the Meridians of the human body.
We all know that Ki Energy flows through these Meridians.
However, what we do not know is exactly how it flows.
If we knew this, by modern science we could cure
so many different ‘incurable’ illnesses, and strengthen our internal organs.
It is the lack of understanding Ki Energy Flow
that causes us to be unable to cure such diseases as Diabetes,
Hypertension, High Lipids (High Cholesterol), etc.
My personal opinion however is that the flow of Ki Energy cannot be
identified through modern science, at least at the moment.
That’s why it still has been doing research.
The current Meridian Theory is not correct in every case.
The energy on Meridian lines split frequently, and
so it is always disseminated throughout the body.
Therefore a fixed position for the needles is impossible,
these positions are changing all the time.
Treatment, using the general positioning of Hyeol (vital points)
can sometimes cure illness or make the patient feel more comfortable,
but not every time. Just as the mind of the individual changes,
so too does the flow of Ki Energy.
Some people have asked me, ‘why do you carry the needles,
and why do you work on people who do not teach or
train in Haedong Kumdo?’
I don’t actually do acupuncture, like most people do.
As I continue to train in Haedong Kumdo, I have come to an understanding
of the flow of energy, through the teachings of Mother Nature.
This knowledge has come to me through the energy of Mother Nature,
and because of this I have come to an understanding of
how to harmonise the organs such as the stomach, liver, intestine, lung, heart, etc.
I know it will be harmonised between these organs through the energy of The Nature,
and the needles merely act as a conduit for this energy.
This is what takes away the pain and discomfort.
I could just as easily do this though laying on of my hands
or just simply with my mind. You can come to a better understanding
of this by reading the work of a particular UK Gentleman
on a particular Haedong Kumdo website( http://cafe.daum.net/uwhkf/JvX3/1).
Haedong Kumdo these days is going beyond even what I had imagined,
especially in the EU Countries such as Finland and Sweden, Ireland and France, etc.
I am enjoying my training as it makes me feel good,
and keeps me fit and healthy, therefore, I want to share this with my students.
As with strengthen our mind and body through Haedong Kumdo,
we can all come to understand the essence of the flow of Energy
in The Nature, and all at once, we can see the truth of the Nature.
What are human beings, who are not even the size of dust
in the vastness of the cosmos? What is mediation and what is praying?
What is so good, and equally, what is so bad about these kinds of things?
Only self study can reveal the answers to these questions,
and we can begin to see the truth from the falsehood, the real, and the empty,
just as it is said in several scriptures.
From this self study we can reveal endless wisdom.
However, we must conform to the law of The Nature.
We need to serve others, and act correctly in our lives.
We should not harm others and we should behave in a proper manner.
If we do not, I believe that any abilities gained
from the Nature will disappear immediately.
It will be taken just a quickly as it is given by the Nature.
Haedong!!

좋은 이야기 (2010년 10월 10일, 금곡실내체육관 해동검도 심사 후)|
매 입승단 심사 시 마다 심사평을 통해 지관장님 사범님 각 수련생들에게
무언가를 전달하려고 합니다.
시간을 할애하면서 잘 경청한 것만도,
그냥 이해만 한 것도 다 감사할 따름이겠지만,
본인을 통해 수련을 하고 많은 경험을 하면서 세월은 자꾸 가고 있는데,
지금 현재까지 진정으로 무엇을 알고 있으며,
무엇을 어떻게 해야 앞으로 더 나은 환경을 만들어 잘 살 수 있을지,
답을 하루라도 빨리 찾는 사람이 임자입니다.
이번 심사에서 찍은 몇 장의 사진을 한번 자세히 보세요.
방울 방울 찍여진 크고 작은 동그라미 모습들을 보세요.
혹시 이쁘게 보이지 않나요.
어디를 가던 좋은 사람을 만나면
우선 기분이 좋아지고,
더 좋은 사람을 만날 수 있다면
피곤한 부분들이 회복됨을 느끼고,
더욱 더 좋은 사람이 만나지게 되면,
나는 더욱 홀가분하고 기운이 차려집니다.
한없이 좋은 사람을 만날 수 있다면,
당신의 불편하던 부분도
어느 순간 사라질 수도 있습니다.
지극히 평범한 자연의 원칙을 이야기 하고자 합니다.
이번 행사 후 몇몇 사람에게는 이야기 하였습니다.
항상 바른 생활을 왜 해야 되며.
현재의 나는 과거의 내 행적이 그렇게 만들었으며.
지금 현재나타나는 나의 모든 상태는
현재까지 내자신이 만들어 온 성적표라는 것을..
내가 지금 아프지 않다면
착실히 행동을 잘 했기에 그럴 것이고,
내가 지금 돈이 없다면
그 때 그렇게 했기에 그렇다는 사실,
내가 지금 잘 못살고 있다고 본다면
과거에 그렇게 만들어 왔기에….
자연은 용서가 없으며,
예외도 없고,
아주 냉엄합니다.
반면에
무한한 사랑과
무궁무진한 에너지가 있습니다.
2009세계대회 개회사에서 본인이 강조 했듯이
지구촌을 돌면서 만나는 사람들에게
자기의식을 깨우쳐 잘 살수 있도록
열심히 노력하겠다고 했습니다.
부디 염두에 두시고
잘 살 수 있는 긍정적인 생각을
항상 가지고,
자기 의식을 언제나 깨우치도록 노력하고,
자기우물에서 나올 수 있도록
노력 하실 수 있길
기원합니다.
수고하셔요
해동 !!
For Realization Through Haedong Kumdo Training
With absolute True, and Pure Love
▶ First Step : Relax, And Feel The Energy
▶ Second Step : Focus, And See It
▶ Third Step : Realize, And Do
At the first Haedong Kumdo Seminar in Finland, back in 2007, I told the participants there to ‘Relax, And Feel The Energy’.
Some time later at the first Scandinavian Championships and Spiritual Growth Seminar in Helsinki,
I expanded on this and spoke on the subject of ‘Relax, And Feel The Energy’, supplemented by ‘Focus, And See It’.
Now as the next Spiritual Growth Seminar in Greece is getting closer, I am preparing to expand the lectures yet again, from ‘Relax, And Feel The Energy’, and ‘Focus, And See It’, to ‘Realise, And Do It’.
When we train in Haedong Kumdo, Relaxation is the key to success.
We must at all times remain flexible in our body and in our sword work so that we can create the angle, and appropriate power as necessitated by the situation at hand.
As we continue to train in this way, day by day, we begin to realised, over time, the benefits for our life which we receive through Haedong Kumdo training.
This is simply because the principles of Haedong Kumdo are in line with the principles of The Nature.
As an example, I sometimes need to remind trainees to Relax. Without Relaxation, they cannot hope to ‘Feel The Energy’.
Whatever we do, whether in the Dojang, at School or at Work, if we can relax in ourselves, and with ourselves, we can cleanse our body and our mind. In this cleansed state, we can broaden our view of the world and allow creativity to flow in our lives.
If we train in Haedong Kumdo over a long period of time and if we can remember to ‘Relax, And Feel The Energy’, we can build the energy within our own bodies, and everything will become easier for us.
As I have already said, in Greece, in May 2011 I am going to emphasise the need to ‘Relax, And Feel The Energy’. I truly hope that many people can come and join in at this event and that we can have a good time together, creating happy memories of training under the joint subjects of ‘Relax, And Feel The Energy’, ‘Focus, And See It’, and ‘Realise, And Do It’.
Take pride in your Haedong Kumdo practice as it is delivered to each of you with absolute True, and Pure Love, with the wish of great Happiness, and Enjoyment for you all in your lives.
