GUMPUP (forms)

   Systematic, prearranged patterns of sword techniques. Used to develop mushin, or proper kinetics (mind to body coordination) and mental and physical aptitude. In addition, respect for the sword blade (gumnal) is  taught, though only Masters are allowed to practice with a real sword (jingum).

     Most student forms are performed with a wooden sword (mokgum) or unsharpened sword (kagum) and are two-handed (sangsu) with or without scabbard (gumchip). Most advances forms are acrobatic and lengthy.
