# Cheong Yong Haidong Gumdo - Business Description
Cheong Yong Haidong Gumdo is a specialist martial arts school in Leicester dedicated to teaching Haidong Gumdo®, a dynamic Korean sword discipline. Established in 2016 and led by SBN Ben Sampson, the school serves students of all levels seeking to develop physical strength, mental discipline and confidence through authentic Korean swordsmanship training.
The school distinguishes itself through several key offerings. Beyond weekly training sessions focused on forms and sparring patterns, Cheong Yong actively participates in the UK Haidong Gumdo Association (UKHGA) community, organising and attending major events including summer beach training camps, international master seminars led by European heads Master Han and Master Lee, and national championships. This positions the school as more than a local club—it's a gateway to a broader martial arts network and competitive opportunities.
What sets Cheong Yong apart is their commitment to delivering authentic training from respected masters whilst building a supportive, inclusive community. The emphasis on both technical excellence and personal development attracts students seeking genuine martial discipline rather than casual fitness classes. Their involvement in established associations and high-level seminars demonstrates credibility and serious commitment to the art form.
The business welcomes beginners through free introductory sessions, removing barriers to entry whilst showcasing the unique appeal of Korean sword training to Leicester's martial arts community.
