"Unlocking the Secrets of Martial Arts through Haedong Kumdo in the 21C; A Journey of Energy Flow and Self-Discovery"


As the USA Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu HK resumes its events,....

From April 5th to 7th, 2024,
the USA 🇺🇸 HK seminar will take place in Minnesota, organized by Robert Frankovich, HK 5 Dan, as an organizer, who is a representative of the USA HK Association.

This event in 2024 marks a significant milestone, as it has been nearly a decade since the inception of the USA HK Association with the first Haedong Kumdo Seminar in 2008.

Over these years, through various international events in the globe, it has profoundly advanced the understanding of uncharted aspects into the Haedong Kumdo training – the practice of "physical and mental cultivation" and the alignment of "swordsmanship and inner cultivation" with the principle of nature.

Haedong Kumdo is one of the modern martial arts, and it is essential for HK practitioners to distinguish truth from falsehood in its history and philosophy.

Furthermore, the understanding of energy flow with swords training and Kimu Practice leads to remarkable self-improvement in comprehending the basics of all martial movements.

Once understood, it is not complex but rather straightforward. Its obscurity is merely due to a lack of proper teaching.

Regardless of their martial arts background or an interest in swordsmanship, anyone who seeks to comprehend the natural movements of the body through Energy- Flow with or without swords is welcome to participate.

Unfortunately, among existing Haedong Kumdo practitioners and leaders, there is often a tendency to be exclusive.

Many refuse to participate in events organized by associations other than their own.

Such thinking stems from a limited perspective. To progress, we must change our mindset and develop our consciousness.

I have my own mission as the founder of Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu Haedong Kumdo: to awaken people's spiritual consciousness. This mission is not complex, abstract, or mysterious; it is simple and clear.

It has a close connection with martial arts training and one's way of life, intertwined with everything in the world, embracing the idea that all things in the universe share a common essence. For Haedong Kumdo practitioners, it begins with understanding the flow of energy through their training.

Have you ever heard of terms like Self-Acquirement, Body-Magnetization, Eye-fingers, and Beam-finger? Have you learned or taught the essence of your body moving spontaneously according to the various shapes of your hands, etc.? Come and join this special seminar in 2024 in the USA, and figure it out what you have been trying to seek for lifetime.

If you practice and teach Haedong Kumdo without knowledge of these principles, your training will merely revolve like a squirrel going round and round in a treadwheel.

In other words, if you love cutting, you will persist in it until the very last moment your body allows, and then what? What will you do next, and what will you impart to your students? Will you insist on continuous, repetitive training like a parrot?

Through the martial training of Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu HK, which presents the first of its kind in the 21st century, it enables an understanding of the energy flow, the cornerstone of martial arts training, and a direct connection to a healing system.

It extends beyond the realm of martial arts practice. It will be attained as much as one strives for and in accordance with their personal pursuits, efforts, and abilities, spanning from philosophy and religion to the humanities in their life journey.

The upcoming 2024 USA 🇺🇸 seminar will bring us all closer. It is open to everyone, irrespective of martial arts associations or disciplines. We anticipate the participation of many individuals.
