ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
Founded in Incheon, South Korea by Grand Master Jang, Kummooyeh is a prestigious martial art steeped in tradition and refined for the modern world. Today, it is a truly global discipline, with a presence spanning from South Korea to Germany, Australia, Singapore, and the United States.
Our program offers a comprehensive curriculum that transforms students into versatile martial artists through four core pillars: Sword Forms: Mastering the fluid, rhythmic patterns of ancient battlefield movements. Sword Sparring: Testing your reflexes and strategy in a safe, high-energy environment. Traditional Archery: Developing the "zen-like" focus and precision required for the Korean bow. Mat Cutting: The ultimate test of technique, where advanced practitioners use live blades to demonstrate power and accuracy (Adults Only). A Journey of Progression This is the ideal discipline for those who value technical mastery and disciplined effort. Your journey begins with the Mokum (wooden sword) for fundamental drills and foam blades for sparring. As you ascend through our full rank system—from White Belt to Master—you will earn the right to train with high-quality metal blades and, eventually, the razor-sharp sword used for traditional cutting. Flexible Training Options Whether you are looking to complement your current training or embark on a brand-new path, Kummooyeh fits your lifestyle: The Stand-Alone Program: A deep dive into the art of the sword for those focused on mastery. The Taekwondo Add-on: The perfect way for TKD students to broaden their skill set and historical understanding.

What Sets Us Apart
Our exclusive educational content developed specifically for our students
WHAT WE TEACH: KUMMOOYEH
We teach KUMMOOYEH, a traditional form that focuses on body, mind, and spirit integration. This practice helps you find peace and balance in your life through sword (Gumdo) practice.
BODY | MIND | SPIRIT
Tai Chi involves stretching, continuous motion, and turning of the spine. We exercise the whole physiology including muscular, skeletal, and circulatory systems, as well as tendons, joints, connective tissue and organs. Rather than depending on tension and the development of hard muscle tissue, these arts develop a body that is relaxed and strong at the deepest levels.
Reduce Stress and Lower Anxiety
Tai Chi has a beneficial effect on many conditions, from sore backs to mental health issues. These arts also have a profoundly beneficial effect on deeper health issues such as MS or Parkinson's Disease.
Build Muscle Strength
Tai chi can improve both lower-body strength and upper-body strength. The unsupported arm exercise involved strengthens your upper body, and strengthens both the lower and upper extremities and also the core muscles.

"I started Taekwondo many many years ago in college with now Master Dubin. After a 25 year break and 2 kids later, I was looking for a martial arts class for my kids. When I saw Master Dubin start Beacon Martial Arts, I signed them up immediately and we have enjoyed the classes the last 5 months. Beacon Martial Arts has a great family household rate (make sure you ask if you have 2 or more people in the family interested). I was able to join the classes as well at age 45. Not only I am enjoying Taekwondo again with my kids, Master Dubin is helping me with exercises focused on hips and joints to help prepare me to be active for my upcoming older years. If you are interested in your kids to learn Martial Arts in a fun, safe and responsible way (or even find a fun exercise that prepares you for old age), definitely consider Beacon Martial Arts."
