hey, do you know of a place where i could buy a jingum for a good price, i have seen them in martialartsswords.com but are really expensive, more than 1000. BTW im not from USA, but swords are allowed to import to my country.
Can you tell us a little more of your situation? Like, are you studying Korean sword arts and what country you are from?
Well, if you find a school first, they will probably tell you what exactly you should purchase. I mean, you don't want to get all excited and buy a really nice sword only to be told that beginners practice with wooden swords or whatever.
