Feedback from Nikos, Greece, through the 2024 Italian seminar in Bergamo, Italy 🇮🇹

We had an unforgettable experience at the Haedong Kumdo seminar in Italy, and I want to extend my deepest thanks to Chong Jae Nim Kim.

His instruction was truly exceptional and multifaceted, offering something valuable for everyone, regardless of their background. Even those of us who primarily train in Taekwondo found ourselves mastering the basics of sword handling within a single day. This speaks volumes about GM Kim's ability to convey complex techniques in a clear and engaging way.

The seminar was a rich tapestry of exercises, seamlessly blending unique Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu Haedong Kumdo drills with specialized kimu exercises that invigorated both body and mind. GM Kim's teachings, especially his demonstrations of double sword techniques, were mesmerizing. His energy seemed boundless, and he generously spent time with each of us, ensuring we grasped the essence of the movements in martial arts training, even integrating elements of the healing system.

I also want to give a special shout-out to Javier for the seamless organization of the event. Every detail was meticulously planned, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.

Bergamo itself was the perfect backdrop for the seminar—a city with a beautiful blend of history and culture. Exploring its charming streets and soaking in the local atmosphere added an extra layer of enjoyment to our stay.

Overall, this seminar was not just a training session but a journey into the deeper aspects of Haedong Kumdo. Thank you, GM Kim and Javier, for making it such a memorable event.
