Haidong Gumdo is a traditional Korean martial art focused on the use of swords. To help explain the art of Korean swordsmanship, my guests this week are Brian Gihm, a fourth dan master with 26-years of training in Haidong Gumdo, and Chris Hokin, a holder of a fourth dan black belts in both Haidong Gumdo and Taekwondo. During our conversation, we talk this lesser known martial art and the recently completed 6th World Haidong Gumdo Federation Championships.
