1004 Cutting Challenge!

World Taekwondo-Haidong Gumdo Academy is extremely proud to accept our 1,004 Angel CUTTING from Chief Master Becky Alan & Sr. Chief Master Marshall Parnell.

First of all, I’d like to apologize to use one hand only due to the chest injury.

Recently, World Haidong Gumdo Federation Head Master JeongWoo Kim issued a challenge to the Haidong Gumdo community to participate in an exercise that would demonstrate our resolve to foster a strong spirit in the face of the chaos that the COVID-19 pandemic is causing.
He chose two masters to preform Cheon Sa Begi.

Cheon Sa Begi means 1004 cuts.
All cuts are to be the straight cuts.
Cheon Sa also translates to "ANGEL” in Korean. The compounding effect of the challenge would spread quickly from master to master and eventually include all Haidong Gumdo Masters.
It demonstrates the connection between all of our master members and his/her students and the sending of The Guardian Angel to each other.

I have had the honor of being nominated by Chief Master Becky Alan and Sr. Chief Master Marshall Parnell.

All of the Instructors and the students who participated 1004 Cuts (Cheon Sa Begi) did a WONDERFUL Job today.
All of you are the ROCK.

Haidong!

Never Quit!
Dasihanbeon (One More Time)!
