European Haidong Gumdo Championship 2007 - DEMO

[wolfpack13000]

The Korean martial arts and fencing are monkey business.

Because there is not the culture that there was a samurai in the Korean history.

The Korean uses a castle of Japan and the sculpture including the Asura by an image strategy in imitation of the style of the Japanese samurai in HP.

I understand it if I examine it, but, in the Korean Peninsula, culture and the castle of the samurai do not have the trace.

1.

Kumdo/Gumdo is the Korean pronunciation of Kendo and it was introduced into the Korean Peninsula from Japan during the period of the Japanese protectorate and annexation (1895-1945). Before that martial arts didn't exist in Korea. So it's never a traditional Korean martial art from ancient times.

It's true that Koreans began learning sword skills from Chinese and they called it 本國劍 / 本国剣 in the 18th century, but it didn't catch on.

The first time Koreans used the word "HaedongKumdo / 海東剣道" was in about 1982. It's not so long ago. In short, it's a fraud that they claim HaedongKumdo is a Korean traditional martial art.

Incidentally, the parties have already pleaded guilty to the HaedongKumdo fraud in a Korean court.

What you are doing now is a creation based on Japanese Kendo. But because the new martial art required Koreans to make a difference from Kendo, they adopted flashy action stunts like jumping or spinning.

Seeing the unfamiliar action, unsuspecting Westerners fell for the con easily. It's totally absurd that you are thankful for such a fake traditional stuff.

4.

First, you must research the records of HaedongKumdo before 1970s.

How about videos? Is there a film until 1980 showing HaedongKumdo?

How about pictures? Is there a picture until 1980 showing HaedongKumdo?

How about historical records? Since the 17th century many Westerners stayed in the Korean Peninsula. They wrote about Korean archery but any swordplay or unarmed martial art doesn't appear in those records. Don't you find this strange?

From now, it's not too late. All you guys must get your head out of the clouds.

Great demonstrations! Master Han and Master Lee totally rock!!

By the way, does anyone knows the name of the song that starts at 4:17? (thanks in advance)

[sianan]

Yun Do-Hyun band's "Arirang"

The original song is the most famous Korean traditional folk song and this is just a rock-version of that song, which i think pretty cool. hope this helps
