2014년도 캐나다 해동검도 행사 후기 Feedback of 2014 Canadian Haedong Kumdo Events Written down by Ron Roy & Jo-Ann McKenna Place : Regina in Canada. Date : December 2014 December 2014 marked the first of many Canadian Haedong Kumdo seminars. Grandmaster Kim, Jeong Seong graciously arrived in our country on one of the coldest days of December with a smile on his face. The weather didn’t bother him. He was just excited to come and teach. We were equally excited and thankful to have him come to Canada. Over the next 9 days several Canadian instructors had the opportunity to train and learn from his teachings. We were introduced to the JSKR training system and came to understand the importance of the saying “think outside the box’. There are 3 steps for better understanding and thus training. All are interconnected, so if we understand a certain principle, we will come to know the others. Just as in the universe. The moon rotates and orbits around the earth, just as the earth rotates and orbits around the sun. Everything is moving or flowing and everything is in harmony. The 3 steps are: 1. Relax and feel the energy. 2. Focus and see it. 3. Realize and do it. Ki-Mu training is one of the many elements of the JSKR System that the student practices. Ki-Mu is helpful for the student so that they can begin to understand about energy, what it is, where it goes and what to do with it. We learned that whenever we practice Ki-Mu, that our body parts are connected and energy flows through our bodies, example being that energy will form a triangle and flow between our toes/feet and our bladder. The same with our fingertips. With Ki-Mu training our hands circle for energy flow, just as it is with planets in our universe. Through Ki-Mu training, the energy will guide us for better training for our body and our mind and consequently our health. At this time, we will understand and know the truth of many things in the Martial Arts and life. This is the forgotten part of Martial Arts that needs to be taught and trained amongst ourselves and our students. There are two parts in Martial Arts training. One is “breaking” and the other is “fixing”. We train our bodies to be strong for fighting skills, we must also train our bodies and our minds for how to “fix”. We need to understand what energy is, where it goes, where it is blocked and how it can be unblocked. It is important to “think out of the box” so that we can truly understand the “Do”, the art or the way, through actual experience. Not just in martial arts but also in our lives. Martial arts is a way of life, it is not something we do, it is who we are. We concluded our training with Grandmaster Kim by having an instructor’s seminar of which many were able to attend. We were introduced to Ki-Mu as well as one and two sword training. In addition to being an enjoyable day, everybody in attendance came away having learned many new forms and techniques. Everyone is looking forward to returning back to their clubs to practice the JSKR system and share the knowledge with their students. Our Canadian group is very excited to have had the opportunity to train with Grandmaster Kim and we are looking forward to his next visit to Canada.
