[HAEDONG]

July 3, 2026 — Black Belt Special Training in the Netherlands

Today, we held a special training session for black belt members from 1st Dan to 4th Dan, who came from the USA, Germany, Belgium, Greece, and other countries.
We began by strengthening the basic postures of Haedong Kumdo and then moved into two-sword practice.
But the main purpose of today’s training was not simply to learn more techniques.
It was to experience a fundamental principle:
The sword follows the body.
The body follows the mind.
And the mind follows the mind of Nature.
The mind of Nature may also be understood as energy, love, or vibration.
This is the basic concept of “Follow the Energy.”
When we understand this principle, we begin to see that sword practice, philosophy, and healing are not separate paths.
The same principle flows through all of them.
Through the sword, we learn to feel the body.
Through the body, we learn to observe the mind.
And through the mind, we gradually learn to follow the greater flow of Nature.
This is why our practice is not only about controlling the sword.
It is about discovering how to move naturally, without forcing, by following the energy.
Sword, body, mind, philosophy, and healing—
all are connected under one principle.
Follow the Energy.
