Kumdo
k-mdo is an korean sword art, which is similar to j-panese kendo. sword arts originate as far back 3000 years ago in the bronze age in korea, but really developed in the three kingdom era. the sword arts developed during this period heavily influenced the sword arts in j-pan. after the j-panese occupation, k-mdo was forced to adopt j-panese uniforms, and this tradition still persists today, though many organizations also use korean uniforms.
haidong k-mdo is a variant of k-mdo that orijinated in the baekje period, and has heavily influnced j-panese kenjtsu.
i study chosun sebup, the most ancient form of k-mdo, which dates back to the 14th century.
commonly mistaken as a ripoff of kendo, k-mdo is a korean martial art that was developed in conjunction with kendo, its j-panese counterpart. contrary to popular belief, it was korea who introduced swordsmanship and swordmaking to j-pan, hence the “katanas” you see in koeran dramas.
many j-panese claim that koreans are using j-panese swords in dramas, as they do not realize that “katanas” are not uniquely j-panese.
korean “katanas” are more diverse, and called hwando, yedo, or jingum
k-mdo means “way of the sword.”
