Yesterday was our last day with the rest of the World Mulimpia crew. Team New Zealand is now on the loose in Seoul until Friday! . . . We are so thankful to everyone who helped get us here and grateful for all of the connections we have made with amazing martial artists from around the world. The first photo is a group photo of all the foreign Haidong Gumdo competitors with Grand Master Kim. We’ve also got photos with the Oceania representatives (Aus, NZ, and Fiji), the Swiss, Russian, Canadian and Argentinian teams. . . . . We hope everyone enjoys the rest of their trip, and wish them safe travels home!! #30000likes #whkhaidonggumdo #haidong #haedonggumdo #haidonggumdo #whakatane #nz #newzealand #worldmulimpia2019 #sword #katana #blade #haidonggumdolife #martialarts #martialartists #hdgd #mulimpia #해동검도 #gangneung #gangneungoval #internationalathletes

Baby’s first Mulimpia! 👶🏼 . So proud of @adegenhardt08 for conquering a trip to South Korea and competing at the highest level for our martial art, all while 19 weeks pregnant! . This is for all the mamas out there 😃😃 . #30000likes #whkhaidonggumdo #haidong #haedonggumdo #haidonggumdo #whakatane #nz #newzealand #worldmulimpia2019 #sword #katana #blade #haidonggumdolife #martialarts #martialartists #hdgd #mulimpia #해동검도 #babybump #mama #badassmother

Update! We represented New Zealand well yesterday with top form from all our athletes. . Yesterday was the preliminary round against other international athletes, and we just missed out by a couple points on pretty much every event! . All of our patterns were elimination rounds against other countries, and the scores were so close. Very proud of what we brought to the table. . Papercutting was lost out by 1-2 points out of either 30 or 40 points to get to finals, with exception of Shayne hitting the clip into the ref! . Danyel’s bamboo cutting was a blast with a score of 73, which 76 ended up being the cut off. . Today is finals and some of the group events, so we’ll be mostly watching. . Lots more photos and videos to come but the stadium doesn’t have good wifi so you’ll have to wait! . . #30000likes #whkhaidonggumdo #haidong #haedonggumdo #haidonggumdo #whakatane #nz #newzealand #worldmulimpia2019 #sword #katana #blade #haidonggumdolife #martialarts #martialartists #hdgd #mulimpia #해동검도

Pre-competition Seminar, learning at the hands of the literal Master’s. Worked on cuts, patterns, paper cutting and Danyel did bamboo cutting. A great way to shake off the travel cobwebs and prepare for competition tomorrow. . . . . #whkhaidonggumdo #haidong #haedonggumdo #haidonggumdo #whakatane #nz #newzealand #worldmulimpia2019 #sword #katana #blade #haidonggumdolife #martialarts #martialartists #hdgd #mulimpia #해동검도
