Four (넷, net) is the Korean count that follows 하나 (one), 둘 (two) and 셋 (three) when counting aloud. A text on the basic movements of Haidong Gumdo, a Korean sword art distinct from kumdo, uses the series "하나, 둘, 셋, 넷" to count the steps of a footwork movement.
The Korea Kumdo Association textbook (대한검도회 검도 교본) explains its drills with spoken counts:
- In the 2동작 정면 머리치기 (two-count front head strike), on «하나» the right foot steps in and the 죽도 (bamboo sword) strikes in a single beat, and on «둘» the practitioner returns to the middle stance (중단).
- In another drill in the same text, on «셋» the body moves back and returns to the middle stance.
