(Translated by Google) I came across this martial art by chance. I fell in love watching them demonstrate. Then I tested. I had never encountered a group atmosphere based so much on respect for the person. A friendly atmosphere. A great working atmosphere. The perfect setting. Now I am present regularly. So yes it's not easy easy every day, because it requires real work on yourself. But what a satisfaction to realize what I can finally be capable of. And even after an effort, isn't it pleasant to feel relaxed and full of energy ?! Haidong Gumdo is not a violent martial art, but thanks to its instructor and a superb team, you will discover the person you are. Join us ! (Original) Je suis tombé par hasard sur cet art martial. Je suis tombé amoureuse en les regardants faire une démonstration. Puis j'ai testé. Je n'avais jamais rencontrer une ambiance de groupe basé autant sur le respect de la personne. Une ambiance convivial. Une chouette ambiance de travail. Le cadre parfait. Maintenant je suis présente régulièrement. Alors oui c'est pas facile facile tout les jours, car cela demande un vrai travail sur soi même. Mais quelle satisfaction de se rendre compte de quoi je peux finalement être capable. Et même après un effort, n'est il pas agréable de se sentir détendu et pleine d'ernergie?! Le Haidong Gumdo n'est pas un art martial violent, mais grâce à son instructeur et à une superbe équipe, vous allez découvrir la personne que vous êtes. Rejoignez nous !

(Translated by Google) I practice saber for three years with lyon haidong gumdo. There is a family atmosphere, friendly sharing. The words of this martial art are relaxations, supports. The work is done with others and not against. You learn to relax and have a good position to anchor yourself in the ground. You work in harmony with your partner. The work is done on the physical as well as on the mental. I keep learning and evolving. It's been 7 years since I posted this review and I still practice Korean swordsmanship and it's still great. 😘 (Original) Je pratique le sabre trois ans avec lyon haidong gumdo. Il y a une ambiance familiale, convivial de partage. Les mettre mots de cette art martiaux sont détentes, appuis.Le travail se fait avec les autres et pas contre. On apprend à se détendre et avoir de bonne position encrer dans le sol.On travail en harmonie avec son partenaire. Le travail se fait sur le physique autant que sur le mental. Je ne cesse d’apprendre et d’évoluer. Ça fait 7 ans que j'ai mis cet avis et je pratique toujours le sabre coréen et c'est toujours aussi bien. 😘

Really nice club, generous people who like to share their passion and of course, a rich learning of the Korean way of sword.

"Disappointing experience, far from a real martial arts school. The teaching staff is incapable of transmitting a taste for effort, leading to tendinitis in everyone, and promoting injuries. The director with his fragile ego has odious exchanges with the students and acts in a more than disrespectful manner. He calls himself master, and behaves like a capricious kid, going so far as to lie and stamp his feet to achieve his ends. He describes himself as a "good "narcissistic pervert who manipulates you to create a good image for you according to him, but his actions are comparable to those of a guru in a sect. In the space of 2 months I saw him unceremoniously kick out a person autistic and a transgender person, because it disrupted him and his minions in his "teaching". You will have understood that you must not have any martial background, or an assertive personality in this club. Not recommended for serious martial arts practitioners For Harry Potter fans, why not, you will learn to wave your magic wand very very quickly, but watch out for frustrations. My advice: if you already have martial experience, think twice before committing. I would have liked to read such a review before registering.

(Translated by Google) A martial art, a real one. Practicing for 2 years, I fully blossom in this association both from a physical and spiritual point of view. The atmosphere is really on top, the instructor and his team of assistants really have a passion for their art and do everything to communicate and teach it in the fairest way possible. The competition is almost absent from the teaching, the fight to progress being done above all with oneself but in the respect and the apprehension of the others and the world which surrounds us. The progression is therefore naturally at the height of the efforts made :-) Thank you for what you offer! See you soon I hope in Lyon Haidong Gumdo (Original) Un art martial, un vrai. Pratiquant depuis 2 ans je m’épanouis pleinement dans cette association autant d'un point de vue physique que spirituel. L'ambiance est vraiment au top, l'instructeur et son équipe d'assistants ont vraiment la passion de leur art et font tout pour la communiquer et l'enseigner de la manière la plus juste possible. La compétition est quasiment absente de l'enseignement, le combat pour progresser se faisant avant tout avec soi même mais dans le respects et l'appréhension des autres et du monde qui nous entoure. La progression se fait donc naturellement à la hauteur des efforts engagés :-) Merci pour ce que vous offrez ! A bientôt j'espère au sein du Lyon Haidong Gumdo

(Translated by Google) Excellent club. And that, whether in terms of education, or community life. In addition, the people we meet there are very friendly! What is exceptional about this club for me is the encouragement we receive there. There is a real incentive to progress, both individually and collectively. (Original) Excellent club. Et cela , que ce soit sur le plan de l'enseignement, ou de la vie associative. De plus, les gens que l'on y rencontre sont très sympathiques ! Ce que ce club a d'exceptionnel à mes yeux, c'est l'encouragement que l'on y reçoit. Il y a une véritable incitation à progresser, tant sur le plan individuel que collectif.

As a new practitioner, I have rarely been so motivated by a sport! Already this Martial Art in itself is super interesting/captivating/beautiful etc. but it must be said that we are also very well received and that the atmosphere is just as great! We feel good there and each class is a great pleasure! Not coming to try it would mean missing out on something!

3 years of practice in this dynamic and invested club... with the teacher of Franck Dominé who is passionate about Haydong gumdo It will pass on to you the essential values: surpassing oneself, perseverance, loyalty...and many others... Support your team in a spirit of kindness. Haydong!

Great club! The atmosphere is great and the classes are quality. Can't wait to start classes again ⚔️😊

The Korean sword, a little-known martial art, but worth the detour. I have been practicing it for 6 years in this club which advocates respect, kindness, good humor and non-violence. Everything is there to learn, practice and share with others. No pressure, you progress at your own pace. I have never been a great sportsman, and after 20 years of abstinence, I found the activity that suits me. A martial art where there is no improvised combat, like in judo for example. Here, it is the technique that is important, the mastery of your sword and your body. You have an artistic soul, create your sword dance with your costume and your music. You prefer more lively movements, create a fight with a partner, etc. Come and give it a try ;-)

I hadn't done sport for 10 years when I crossed paths with Lyon Haidong Gumdo during a demonstration on the Croix Rousse esplanade last September. I was admiring. I was very well received at the stand where I was offered a test session at one of the 3 locations where the association is present. I showed up really not sure of myself and my micro arms which can barely lift a pot of pasta... I really said to myself "you won't make it but you have nothing to lose by trying" . And there, I really discovered a sport and an association in symbiosis with my values. Everyone supported me with real kindness, pushed me to never give up without ever going too far, to persevere in explaining movements to me during an entire session because I often misunderstand. People believed in me, and I have never felt this before in any other discipline. And what about the club itself, the association doesn't just stop at classes and training, it's like a big family, and lots of events are organized around it. Franck always finds salons and shows where everyone is invited every time. I will remember my first Japan Touch when I had only done 6 training sessions and I was not comfortable, everyone pushed me to also do a demonstration and go beyond my limits , while other associations often only let grades present the sport. I didn't think I would return to adult sport one day, and now it's simple, I don't see myself being part of another club to do it. thank you for everything

(Translated by Google) The Lyon Haidong Gumdo association is a saber school dedicated to the art of war as it was practiced in Korea on the battlefields. The teaching staff are lovely and patient. There is very good understanding and an atmosphere of mutual aid within the club. I've been there for two years, it's a place where I'm free to let off steam and express myself, I highly recommend! (Original) L'association Lyon Haidong Gumdo est une école de sabre dediée à l'art de la guerre comme il était pratiqué en Corée sur les champs de bataille. L'équipe enseignante est adorable et patiente. Il règne au sein du club une très bonne entente et une ambiance d'entraide. J'y suis depuis deux ans, c'est un endroit où je suis libre de me défouler et de m'exprimer, je conseille vivement !

(Translated by Google) I have been practicing Korean saber at Lyon Haidong Gumdo for 3 years and I am very happy to have embarked on this adventure. I have rarely seen such a welcoming association. We quickly feel like part of a group and all the kindness and smiles we received when we arrived we want to share them with all the newcomers. Teaching by Master Franck Domine is also of very high quality: pedagogy, high standards, kindness and humor! Do not hesitate any more come and test with your eyes closed !! (Original) Je pratique le sabre coréen au Lyon Haidong Gumdo depuis 3 ans et je suis très heureuse de m'être lancée dans cette aventure. J'ai rarement vu une association aussi accueillante. On se sent très vite faire partie de groupe et toute la bienveillance et les sourires qu'on a reçus en arrivant on a envie de les partager à tous les nouveaux venus. L'enseignement de Maître Franck Domine est aussi d'une très grande qualité : de la pédagogie, de l'exigence, de la bienveillance et de l'humour! N'hésitez plus venez tester les yeux fermés!!

4th year in this club…. It's been a long time since I last achieved this level of activity! Beyond being a martial art, Haidong Gumdo reveals our personality, the mediator being the sword. Demand, surpassing oneself, rigor and investment are required, all under the kindness and teaching of our KJN, thank you Franck DOMINATE 🔥, thank you to his assistants 🤩, thank you to this Dojo for its courses, its demonstrations and motivation 🤗! Haidong🤛🏻

Practicing the Korean sword for more than 5 years in the association, I can only testify favorably on the quality of the welcome where each practitioner is treated on an equal footing with the others. The old ones welcome the new ones with the same kindness with which they themselves were welcomed. At the same time creating a formidable group cohesion that we strive to maintain. The teaching of our teacher Franck Dominé is progressive and adaptable to all levels and to all types of practitioners. More than a martial arts club, the Lyon Haidong gumdo is above all an association which aims to promote the development of the Korean sword in the region as well as to contribute to the democratization of the practice of martial arts, which I find personally suffers from some cliché both on the part of practitioners and others. Don't hesitate to come to the Lyonhaidonggumdo.fr website. Or see us for you to try this fabulous martial art.

I have been practicing Korean swordsmanship in this club for 8 years and it is always a pleasure to go to training. Particularly at the start of the school year in order to welcome new arrivals and introduce them to our practice but also our sense of conviviality. The courses are mixed and all levels combined. This allows old students to work on their basics in depth and new ones to progress more quickly thanks to the help of the seniors who will accompany them in the exercises in pairs. Far from any spirit of competition and balance of power, our martial art is accessible to all, while being dynamic. This practice has brought me a lot in my life in general thanks to the diversity of the individuals who make up our club. But also and above all thanks to the teaching of Franck Domine which goes well beyond a simple sporting practice. These experiences in Hapkido and Taekwendo enrich his analysis and mastery of Haidong Gumdo to make it a complete practice. And all this in a warm and funny atmosphere.
