Join us for Thursday Night Fight Nights! . Tonight we tried a new drill out. . One person defending in walking stance, with the second person preparing to attack in horizontal ready stance. The attacking person cuts with the goal to hit the defenders sword. . If they miss, they get hit. If they hit the sword, they attack the defenders head. . Try it out in your next training, take a video and tag @whkhaidonggumdo! . . . #30000likes #whkhaidonggumdo #haidong #haedonggumdo #haidonggumdo #whakatane #nz #newzealand #sword #katana #blade #haidonggumdolife #martialarts #martialartists #hdgd #해동검도 #fightnight #sparring #sparringpractice #sparringsession #reflexes #trainhard #sweat

2019 was an overall great year for Whakatāne Haidong Gumdo. We rebranded the club and became incorporated, we applied for and received funding grants to help with training gear and hall hire, we have grown in size and also in community awareness, we welcomed 4 new black belts into the ranks and most excitingly, 4 of our members had the opportunity to compete at World Mulimpia in Korea! Looking ahead to 2020 will see our club helping with hosting and competing in Oceania Mulimpia in Tauranga in October. Join us in 2020! . . . . #30000likes #whkhaidonggumdo #haidong #haedonggumdo #haidonggumdo #whakatane #nz #newzealand #sword #katana #blade #haidonggumdolife #martialarts #martialartists #hdgd #해동검도 #topnine #2019 #worldmulimpia #oceaniamulimpia
