Sgt. 1st Class Michael Huddleston, 375th Ground Liaison Detachment non-commissioned officer in charge, has a tiger engraved on his sword at Ahn’s Haidong-gumdo academy’s exhibition and tournament held at Army Garrison Humphreys, Republic of Korea, May 14, 2022. The entire sword tells a story; the case made of bamboo represents a bamboo forest symbolic for a tiger’s home, the handle of the sword represents the tail of the tiger while the blade is representative of the nails and teeth. The sword like the tiger will not become violent unless provoked.
