About the Korean Kumdo Federation

The Korean KumDo Federation (KKF) was established under the direction of Grand Master H.W. Kim.  Grand Master Kim served as the bodyguard to the President of South Korean and trained the Special Forces. 

 Grand Master Kim has been teaching  for 20 years and currently owns a school in Gaithersburg and Frederick, Maryland.  He is a 9^th Dan in KumDo and President of the Korean KumDo Federation.  The KKF promotes Daehan KumDo and is located in Frederick and Gaithersburg, Maryland. 

 Grand Master Kim came to the United States and opened the first KKF dojang in 1999, Korean Martial Arts, expanding to his second school in 2007. 

The KKF upholds the highest training standards and prides themselves in the certification process of their instructors.

Once virtually erased in Korea, KumDo Masters can now be found throughout the world.  The Korean KumDo Federation hopes to help continue the dedication of all these KumDo Masters by instilling our high standards and love of the art to all of our members and growing together in order to make the art of KumDo one of the largest practiced martial arts worldwide.

 The KKF strives to promote training for a balanced martial artist consisting of three things:

a.  Physical

b. Mental

c. Spiritual
