A historical guide to Jedok Geom and its martial lineage

Nathan Jo traces Jedok Geom, a sword tradition associated with General Li Rusong and taught to the Korean military from the 1590s. Drawing on a form recorded under Joseon Crown Prince Sado in 1759, the book connects that historical documentation to present-day practice. Its subject is both the lineage of the style and the mechanics of learning it: the material examines the tradition’s background before breaking its swordsmanship down into practical instruction. With its focus on reconstructing and teaching a historically recorded form, the book presents Jedok Geom as a bridge between Joseon-era martial history and modern training.

Book overview

General Li Rusong was a skilled swordsman on the battlefield who struck fear in the hearts of his enemies, and had a ferocious sword style that was so impressive it was taught to the Korean military from the 1590s. Joseon Crown Prince Sado had this form formally recorded in 1759, and from this historic record we can revive the ancient arts and teach truly historic martial arts in the modern day.

Korean Swordsmanship from the Source: Jedok Geom deeply explores the history and swordsmanship of General Li's style and breaks it down into a practical guide that will turn a willing student into a competent swordsman.
