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.
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?
You are absolutely wrong, because everybody deserve the same respect, so if you respect yourself then you can respect everybody if not, obviously you dont respect yourself.
In the other point of view the martial arts is individual way and personal development , you can't be critical about him, still if you notice that hi is wrong you can learn of him. That is all. Think a little more before speak body!!
ok that is way diffrent to wut i learn first our uniform is way diffrent wut u guys r wearing looks kinda like a taekwondo out fit and our styles r little diffrent but u guys did awsome
side cut stops at the side but to start to cut to the other side you flip the blade over and start at your side also apro meams forward not face forward.
In this video, only a left cut is done for the call of jwau begi... Jwa begi = left cut. U begi = right cut. Jwau begi is left cut followed by right cut :)
