Three Crows Sword Studio

We teach Haidong Gumdo (a Korean sword art) and Sword Dance, with a strong focus on personal growth, respect, and inclusivity.

Three Crows is owned and operated by Lilith Jeffrey, a trans woman with decades of wide ranging experience in martial arts, beginning with Tae Kwon Do at age 10, historical style fencing, K*m Do (an alternate take on Korean Sword combining battlefield techniques and forms with Kendo style sparring), and Haidong Gumdo. She also continues to expand the bredth of her knowledge of sword techniques and is studying Chinese Jian forms, historical fencing, German longsword, and what little information she can find on Celtic swords and their use.

Happy PRIDE, Ames!

Skee the Martial Arts Pomeranian says, "Come find our booth at Ames Pride today until 6. Swinging a foam sword is so much fun!" (Skee has to take momma's word for it, given his lack of opposable thumbs.)

Oh, and Master Lilith performs at 3:50!

This form is great fun and the culmination of the Ssangsudo curriculum, so I've been very much looking forward to the The Sword Lynx analysis of it. Check it out!

Today was a great class, with Master Shirk, my mentor and self described grandma to our school in town as a guest instructor (and to present me with my official Master's uniform). I can't thank her enough for her support and training, without which our school wouldn't exist. Thank you for all that your do, Master Shirk!
