Cheltenham Korean Sword Art Workshop - Haidong Gumdo!

Join us for an inspiring Korean Sword Art Workshop and experience the graceful and powerful art of Haidong Gumdo — the traditional Korean discipline of sword practice, mindfulness, and movement.

This in-person event at CLC Health & Fitness Centre is open to all levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. Under the guidance of skilled instructors, you’ll explore centuries-old sword techniques reimagined for modern practice — developing focus, posture, coordination, and overall wellbeing through safe, structured training.

During the session, participants will:

• Learn the principles of controlled sword movement using practice swords (Anjeongum).
• Develop balance, timing, and rhythm through flowing patterns and drills.
• Discover the meditative and health-focused aspects of Haidong Gumdo training.
• Experience how traditional martial arts philosophy promotes clarity, confidence, and calm.

This workshop is a unique opportunity to connect with a timeless art that strengthens both body and mind — promoting harmony, discipline, and personal growth.

No previous experience is required, and all training equipment will be provided. Simply wear comfortable sports clothing and bring water.

Come and experience Haidong Gumdo — the Way of the Sword — and leave feeling centred, energised, and inspired.
