HGMS Official JIKDO GA GUM 직도 가검

High Quality Training Swords Hand Crafted in Korea

Premium Jikdo Ga Gum – 2025 Editions

Standard Weight Sword (510g)

  • Designed to mimic the weight distribution of the original Kuk Sool swords, our standard model features a slightly more flexible blade.
  • This design demands greater precision for executing clean, controlled air cuts with a crisp stop.


Medium Weight Sword (600g)

  • Slightly stiffer and heavier, the medium weight version retains a similar balance point to the standard model.
  • It offers a more substantial training experience for stronger martial artists, tolerating induced blade flex from unbalanced air cuts.


Future Heavy Weight Options (900-1000g) - Coming towards end of 2025

  • We are currently developing heavy weight models in carbon 1095 steel for those seeking an even more robust option.

    Masterfully crafted for precision and elegance, our Jikdo Ga Gum (straight path training swords) embody the perfect balance of tradition and performance. Designed for serious practitioners, these swords deliver exceptional handling, striking aesthetics, and superior air-cutting acoustics to refine your technique.

    Blade lengths and balance

    Blade lengths and balance

    Blade Length

    • Both standard and medium weight swords share the same overall length as the original Kuk Sool models.
    • We also offer a shorter version of our standard sword (-8cm), tailored for those with a more compact build.
      • This model is ideally suited for younger students to ensure a comfortable and precise training experience.


    Blade Balance

    • Their balance has been adjusted slightly forward, placing additional weight towards the tip – a hallmark of a genuine traditional sword design.
    • This forward balance is consistent with historical Korean sword design, as seen in traditional weapons such as the Jikdo. For more on the tradition of Korean swords, please refer to the Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_sword
