Three Crows Sword Studio

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.

Thank you for all your visibility and great work!

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!

What do you do when there's a tornado warning in the middle of class?

Why, go hang out in the bathroom with ten of your closest Gumdo friends, of course! (Sparring helmets optional.)
