So awesome your channel is still around! Took couple year hiatus from Korean sword to focus on Filipino and thai stuff. Had the interest to get back into haedong gumdo. Best resource on the internet
Really like the info here, and illustrating the use of a normal sized ssangsu object. The handle on the Ssangsudo was quite a bit longer than half a foot. More like 12-15" from what I've seen in demonstrations. The Copper collar is an awesome ricasso to hold onto when you need to shorten it up and helps make the extra length more manageable. They're cool weapons for sure.

I appreciate it! Which Filipino and Thai martial arts did you train in? Kali is one heck of an effective style.

I just reread my translation and you’re totally correct! I was confused about that short handle for so long!
