Sgt. 1st Class Michael Huddleston, 375th Ground Liaison Detachment non-commissioned officer in charge, poses for a picture with newly awarded medals, uniform and belt at Ahn’s Haidong-gumdo academy’s exhibition and tournament held at Army Garrison Humphreys, Republic of Korea, May 14, 2022. All techniques executed are based on sword cuts and defenses. There are no punches, kicks, throws, or empty hand techniques of any kind. Haidong-gumdo has allowed Huddleston to overcome challenges and find peace within himself through his battle with PTSD.
