Throughout human history, the meaning of the sword always represented a force to fight.  Over centuries the significance of the sword as a means to engage one’s concentration and focus, eliciting an acute sense of power and effectiveness in combat, has remained consistent throughout the ages.

The custom-weighted wooden sword that is used in JUNGSHIN® FITNESS engages the athletic body and is used to cut physical restrictions away in order to achieve a human goal.

The sword aligns the mind and body quickly, providing a cutting-edge element to fitness training by taking the mind off of the physical demands upon the body and giving the mind an element (the sword) to focus on.

Through the repetitive motions of raising the sword over one’s head, JUNGSHIN Fitness cuts engage the biceps and upper back muscles and align the sword with the spine on the inhale.  On the exhale, each cut focuses on the core power, triceps, and lower abs, expanding the chest and increasing lower abdominal breathing.

While the shapes and styles of swords have changed over centuries and cultures, the use of the sword as a combat weapon, a tool for enhancing mental awareness (mind control), and its cutting edge way of pulling out one’s courage has remained consistent.
