Does anyone know of anywhere to learn kumdo? I would prefer a place close to the Hongdae area.

Thanks!

If anyone knows of a place in Bucheon, I'd be interested as well.

Do adults really learn that here? Every time I've passed a Kumdo gym it's only been younger kids in there. It seems like it would be an amazing sport to learn.

There are at least 2 kumdo schools within walking distance from my apartment in Mokdong. Pretty much any mainly residential neighborhood with schoolchildren will have kumdo/taekwondo schools in abundance - it's a matter of finding someone who will train adults.

That said, I think there is one school called Sung Woo Kumdo that has classes for adults - but I've never looked into it fully as I can't really afford it right now. They have a website: http://swkumdo.com/ (in Korean only, I believe). They might have other branch locations outside of Mok-dong, also.

Adults do learn it, and it is a wonderful sport to get into. If you are seeking a place near you, you can contact the Korean Haidong Gumdo association (a Korean friend can look them up on Naver, but here is the site http://www.hdgd.org/

Normally the adult classes are the last ones of the evening, and can sometimes be around 9-10 at night.
