The Sword Lynx

This channel is intended to give Gumdo masters and students new ideas, drills, and focuses for their training. Why a lynx? For one, it's a pun. Internet links and making links between different sword martial arts, but more importantly, according to Fiore, one of the swordmasters from way back when, there are four major characteristics a swordsman (he said knight, but swordsman works, too!) should follow and the one I found most resonating was the prudent lynx. In mythology, the lynx could see the future, and my goal for the channel is to help steer the Gumdo community toward higher standards, higher understanding, and higher levels. Keep in mind what I say in the channel reflects my own understanding of Gumdo and not so much what the Federation has taught. You'll find I do things differently from what your master has taught you and that's okay! Take in the information that helps you and discard the rest. Synthesize your own ideas from the old and the new. It's a dynamic martial art!
