Association
Kumdo Argentina is the non-profit association that brings together the country's kumdo schools. It promotes kumdo, the Korean martial art of the sword, organizes grading exams and tournaments, trains instructors and represents Argentine kumdo.
Our mission
To spread kumdo across the country and sustain a serious, safe and open practice: so that anyone who wants to learn can find a school, a trained instructor and a path of progress with proper backing.
What the association does
Promoting kumdo
We make kumdo and its disciplines known, and bring the first class closer to anyone who wants to give it a try.
Grading exams
Rank exams with an examining panel, so that every step of progress is properly backed.
Tournaments and events
Tournaments, seminars and gatherings between schools throughout the year.
Instructor training
We train and recognize the instructors who lead each school.
Affiliated schools
We bring together kumdo schools from different provinces and support their growth.
Commitment to the community
Kumdo is learned in a group: respect, perseverance and care for your training partner. As a non-profit association, we also want to take that beyond the dojang.
Since 2015 our main goal has been to open kumdo to the whole community: anyone can practice it, at any age and with no experience, and the first class is free of charge.
And every association event includes a charity drive for an organization in the city where it takes place.
A charity drive at every event
Every tournament and seminar held by the association collects non-perishable food and hygiene items for a social organization in the host city.
Bring your contribution
A non-perishable food item or a personal hygiene item: rice, pasta, legumes, powdered milk, soap, toothpaste.
We receive it at the event
The host school collects contributions from those who compete, train or come to support.
It goes to a local organization
What is collected is delivered to a social organization in the city, and we report here on the site what was collected and who received it.
Where to practice
The association's affiliated schools (dojang), with their locations and schedules.
