No problem. Safe practice.

No problem. Safe practice.

Thank you.

The online classes haven't had any students for a while, but feel free to e-mail me at east-sea-sword@hotmail.com and we can discuss possibilities.

Glad to be helpful in any way.

Glad they are helpful. Safe practice.

Glad it is helpful to you.

Yep, we've been doing Zoom classes since October of last year. Because it involves people's private information and schedules, I don't talk about it here. The contact e-mail is east-sea-sword@hotmail.com if you want to know more.

I don't quite understand. What do you mean by "one steps"? Striking while stepping?

Thank you. I am glad it was useful to you. Safe practice.

Don't death-grip. I can't speak too much to axes, but for the sword, and training right-handed (like they would force you to traditionally), the right hand should grip firmly, but not straining. The left hand should be down by the pommel and ready to shift its grip, loose to pivot, tighter for control, but almost never as tight as the right hand. And, if you do switch hand positions for something, switch the logic as well. The hand closer to the blade is your solid pivot point, the hand close to the pommel is your flexible controller. Safe practice.

Always happy to provide information and guidance. Do be careful, since an axe's balance will be further forward than a sword, so the minor movements of the WILL be different. If it is hurting after you try it, rest and re-examine. Safe practice.

you just skipped to the end and you dont even own a sword. Lmao

Any time.

Thank you. I am trying, but I don't have a partner to help me during the quarantine. Hopefully once things get closer to normal.

Sorry for being so late. I cannot add any more Haidong Gumdo forms, as I should not be teaching it above Black Belt level. However, I recomment MrTermright (ruclips.net/user/MrTermright). He is a master in Korea and has excellent (if a little fast) videos for practice.

Thats right I forgot they changed the belt curriculum for rank coralating to form since ive trained

Thank you. I'm trying! It's hard to find partners to help film the further content during the quarantine.

Glad it is helpful.

Oh, my goodness...I never put up a Blocking Drill video... I will do that as soon as I can. It probably won't be as polished as these old ones, but I will put up the skills. Thank you for asking about this.

Indeed, especially in the footwork. I would take it slowly, and perhaps try it without the sword a couple of times, simply because they are meant to be tight turns, effective footwork for having to fight when flanked. I hope the video is clear enough to be helpful. Safe practice.

Yesss it is clear enough, this channel is my main source for studying these forms because of the guided explanations

@@eastseaswordus9063 would love to see your Yedo forms!

@@bhedrick101 Unfortunately, I am too far behind, my Yedo at the moment would be terrible, as I have spent most of my time on coaching the sport. I believe there are some good resources here on youTube, though. Sorry to disappoint. Safe practice.

Mr. Hodges, thank you for your compliments and your interest. I am teaching a limited form of the sword class online via Zoom. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me through the official e-mail for our group: east-sea-sword@hotmail.com I will be happy to answer any questions for you there and maybe we can talk about a class schedule. So you know, I removed your other comment so no one could cause trouble with your phone number. E-mail will be much safer. Thank you again.

I can only speak to how I was trained. My Haidong Gumdo master taught me to hold the sword in the blade up position, with the explanation that, when dealing with a single-blade sword and needing to sheathe, it was most sensible, because you could see the blade and gravity would push the blunt edge towards your hand as you did so. If held blade down, gravity would be tempting fate, pushing back down towards your fingers as you tried to sheathe the sword. There are some forms that have you turn sheathe and sword in your belt before drawing, to change the angle of attack, but I was taught blade-up as the default. I hope this answers your question.

@@eastseaswordus9063 OK, thanks for the information.

As I have finally found a new location, I did intend to begin filming new videos. Unfortunately, the Coronavirus response will slow that effort, but I will keep trying. Thank you very much. Take care.

@@eastseaswordus9063 you too. Prayers.

I think tae kwon do dojos should really have a korean sword class

Thank you kindly.

I am glad I can be useful. Given the current Corona situation, I am looking into possibilities of teaching over the internet, as my in-person classes needed to be cancelled. Perhaps your local dojang can do the same. And if not, you are welcome to join my classes if/when I am able to set them up.

I hope everything went well. Glad to be of any help.

I can see the issue, no place is actually carrying the real uniform except U.S. Haidong Gumdo, and they only sell to registered Masters. I will send you a youTube friend link, and, if you wish, we can discuss so I can put you in contact with my supplier. ruclips.net/user/add_contact?c=BYJjV_IaTvCwjN--7H_ro3gfm76QKw

@@eastseaswordus9063 thank you but i see that to late

The invitation has expired

@@Amesu100 Huh...shows what I know about youTUBE. Didn't realize those things had limitations. I will talk to my supplier and see what is possible. I will write back when I have an answer of some kind. Keep up the practice!

@@eastseaswordus9063 thank You very much.
