Gumdo Jipdan Cutting Demo 1

[boratstuntdouble]

Seriously, compare this cutting with any cutting video on youtube and you will be hard pressed to find one better. Even the japanese tameshigiri videos are not as good as this. The cutting is fast and accurate. The timing, precision and technique is unparalelled. Effective and amazing to watch!!!!!

武藝圖譜通志Muye Dobo Tongji (1790) : Comprehensive Illustrated Manual of Martial Arts in Korea .

[It is an official document at a Korean Dynasty, written by The Korean King order in the 18th century]

國練兵之制三軍練于郊，衛士練于禁苑，其禁苑練兵盛自 光廟朝，然止弓矢一技而已如槍劍法技，既未之聞焉，

Archery was the only martial art that had been practiced by Korean soldiers. They have no skills of sword or spear fighting (in the 17th century ! ).

Therefore, Koreans began learning sword skills and others from Chinese .

[TheMatrix1221]

CAUTION!!

Gumdo is a Korean of KENDO reading.

And the KENDO historically has the origin in Japan.

When the KENDO is a Korea origin, they are fabricating it !!

They also are fabricating a story to them own advantage that all Japanese culture

are Korean origins !!

Everybody of intelligent foreigner !

PLEASE DO NOT CHEAT !!

[wolfpack13000]

Why do you accuse the Korea martial arts of the imitation?

If an imitation copies brands such as Vuitton or Armani, and an imitation forges it with a genuine article, and a monkey business, can you be angry?

All of you wanting to be the world martial arts do not be deceived.

Only Japan has the genuine samurai and martial arts.

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.

2.

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.

[HaedongKumdoIsaLie]

3.

What Koreans 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.

First, you Koreans must set out the records of HaedongKumdo before 1970s if you can.

[HaedongKumdoIsaLie]

4.

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 Koreans had better admit HaedongKumdo is a fraud and stop spreading lies immediately.

[koisan1000]

I turn and why am a kung fu movie?

Do these people think that martial arts are dramas?

Such a useless movement is not martial arts.

The axle of the body moves too much slightly.

Impurity do not hold traditional culture in Japan!

I think and force it to desire ­ why there is bending to the sword whether I am thin.

[sakura0jp0aikidodesu]

he is cool!

i wrote some negative comments to Korean Gumdo and Kumdo since their form were wildly inaccurate,but this movie is great.i think he had practiced hardly and study the reason well.are there different style in Korea? quite confused....

[centraltheorem2076]

Why does he wear hakama, form kendo styles, and use samurai sword? There is no originality in the video. Please stop mimicking Japanese. A part of Korean like you, all koreans are not respected by Japanese. Please be proud of Korean culture.

[toxi87]

@centraltheorem2076 By that logic as a american i'm shold be boxing and shooting with my six shooter, all peoples are the same i understand you point, but why care, one martial art is not the soul property of the nation it came from.

[elesararwos]

@centraltheorem2076 you're obviously a moron. Koreans had swords like the katana as well, and copied the fighting techniques of the Samurai. When cultures clash militarily, they copy each others' techniques and weaponry. If it were otherwise, then the crossbow would have been a single fiefdom's posession, and the gun would have been a single nation's invention. Gunpowder would have only been in China, and everyone would probably actually just use rocks.

[Chiperdada]

switch to tatami omote.

[centraltheorem2076]

If you (uploader) are proud of korean culture, you should use korean double-edged straight sword.

[KkkOoIiCcHhIi]

HAHA stupid.

copy culture Korea.

[guyver20]

as flashy and artsy as all the twirls displeases me as they add very little to the practicality of martial arts, I will give the guy credit for that cut at 0:48. Cutting two mats w/o having it fall apart in one swing ...

[Magnanux]

@guyver20 what you called twirls are to give momentum and velocity to the sword...

[scottbaioisdead]

@Magnanux actually thats physically impossible. would you like to present the phsyics equation to show what you're saying?

[The4LA2Baker0]

dont fuck with that guy

[lllCo2lll]

0:44 is sick... lol

been wanting to see that for awhile

[butadujo]

...this is ok..but im not too impressed

[DannyDarkout]

Fucking love stumble

[GoreTorn16]

Stunning skills!

[nemesisnick66]

BANKAI...i wanna see them fight each other QQ

[maquahuitl]

I am stunned.

[uistbodach]

Ohh 0:45 Is So cool

[KimInLosAngeles]

Once again, Japanese are writing lies here.

Sword fighting skills of Japan, China, & Korea are ALL DIFFERENT from each other

but Japanese always say that Koreans are copying their style.

Ancient Koreans & Chinese made swords & used their own style of sword fighting against Japanese pirates & invaders for centuries.

[morozco420]

Koreans are copying their style...Koreans copy everything without innovating at all...

[KimInLosAngeles]

You don't even know Asian history.

Chinese culture influenced Korea & Korea culture influenced Japan.

Japanese did not have spoons & chapsticks to eat until Koreans taught them how to use them.

Japanese did not write their own history until Koreans taught them to write it in Chinese characters.

Go read REAL Asian history books written by Europeans or Chinese (neither by Japanese or Koreans).

Even Chinese teach that Koreans gave civilization to Japanese.

[morozco420]

You wish...

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. The spirit of the blade. Much love for Japan.

[jazzyslip]

Very nice tameshigiri!!! I really enjoyed it...

But why does it say Korea Traditional Swordmaship Association at the back when this is clearly not Traditional Korean???

[tomurso]

Korea, China & Japan had many cultural exchanges throughout their long histories; therefore, similarities would be common. The use of kendogi & katana clearly shows a Japanese influence but the many spinning techniques does demonstrate a Korean approach.

Concerning the word "traditional" as it relates to Korean arts, much of Korea's documented martial past is lost to time, so what is truly traditional & what is fiction is sometimes hard to determine.

[jazzyslip]

I perfectly agree with you tomurso: there have been countless cultural exchanges in Asia.

However, the relatively "new" Korean martial arts are coming from the time of the Japanese invasion of Korea: Japanese imposed their culture and banned traditional Korean culture (including martial arts). The most widely known results are Tae Kwon Do, Kumdo and Hapkido. I dont call those traditional Korean Martial arts. My belief is that real Korean martial art such as Taekkyun are unfortunately being lost.

[kumdo09]

Taekkyeon is alive and well, and it was a martial game rather than a pure war art. HDGD and gicheon are other arts that revive parts of Korea's history. Daehan kumdo, or Korean kendo, is the Korean version of the style of kendo that developed after the second world war, and as such is modern and imported from Japan. (or enforced by colonisation...)

[jazzyslip]

I agree kumdo09, but why wear a Japanese garnment, such as the Hakama, for a traditional Korean swordmanship demonstration? I understand that if you come from the Kendo class you will maybe not bother to change for the traditional class, but here it is a public demonstration.

[scottbaioisdead]

@jazzyslip there is no traditional korean swordsmanship, korean sword arts died long ago

[jazzyslip]

@scottbaioisdead well this is only half true... Traditional Korean did die long ago due to the advance of Korean war machines (essentially based on gun powder), but there have been some attempts to bring some Korean martial arts back to life... and that is what can be refered to as traditional Korean swordsmanship. But Kumdo as we know it (with Hakama and technic names in Japanese, with the chiburi found in Iai Jutsu... etc.) is coming from Japan during the Japanese occupation of Korea.

Advanced stress relief.

[doctaword]

That lump of hay didn't put up much of a fight..

[oticram]

this explains the lack of facial hair in the region. life expectancy is severely reduced by the local shaving technique :P

[HatesTyingShoes]

starts slow but then these guys turn it up

[ChosonKimchi]

hmmm i also dont believe the history of gumdo i totally respect kendo and the japanese and i do think it is wrong to switch and alter history but that does'nt change the fact this is a discipline and a martial art and like some ppl have said those moves look very efficient and effective in combat

[derkaderka521]

Damn. That straw fixture got totally owned!! =P

[gronging]

omg Gumdo??? like a copy of KENDO

watch?v=wVWECqMm0-4

[KnifeThrowingGuy]

the history of haidong gumdo is a lie. funny how these people are wearing hakama.

[dicky20]

I think that they use katanas well, which should be appreciated. However, it is not japanese martial art.

[KnifeThrowingGuy]

I said "the history of haidong gumdo is a lie. funny how these people are wearing hakama."

that doesnt negate fact of historical lie vs. effectiveness. katana is japanese sword, not korean. please look at muye tobo tongjii. it is only book of true martial art history of korea. even the book is saying katana is not korean sword. please dont support korean lie and propaganda

[lordtains]

Korea should stop telling lies about such.

Because of that, there are a lot of people that have no respect for Korean Martial Arts. They say Korea "stole" it and that they are useless copies, even though in the world of Martial Arts there is no such thing as "stealing".

They only make it worse.

[kumdo09]

The HDGD paji (trousers) are black. I wear a uniform that is blue now, like the kendo hakama. Why? If you train five times a week and wash the uniform once a week, it will eventually fade to a kendo-blue.

Anyway, that video is from the traditional association, not specifically the HDGD one. Lots of Koreans do Korean kendo but wear their kendo uniforms (or parts of them) in their gumdo class. I have.

[Ianflaer]

I just love the wa these guys move. the spinning stuf may be showy but I completely believe they could use it effectively in combat. I think the thing that impresses me the most about the Gumdo practitioners is their ability to stay extremely controlled and precise even when they are jumping, and spinning about. it's hard enough to cut well just standing still or walking slowly. amazing

[lordtains]

agree

[icecrimson]

WOW!! SICK MOVES!!!

[AZQueen469]

:45 WOW!!!

[azer360]

This is friggen awosome dude

[redsoxxmaxx]

theres some seriously impressive cuts in this video

[Hemitris]

wow, thought this was japanese, but it's korean o.o

[tollios6553]

hey does any one know what hes cutting? not the bamboo. Is it like rolled hay or wheat? its not tatami.

[tomurso]

It is rice straw & is called jipdan in Korean. It is also called wara in Japanese. Jipdan/wara was used before tatame omote became the standard, although as you can see, some schools still practice with it.

[tollios6553]

oh ok thanx. I bet this is easier to cut than tatami also.

[Hemitris]

i think it's called gumdo - as the title says

and the inside has a bamboo core

[tomurso]

Gumdo is the martial art (gum=sword, do=way). Although using a bamboo core for both tatame omote mats & rice straw bundles (wara, jipdan) is quite common, this combination is not being used for this clip.

[Hemitris]

ah, thx for the clarification

[BalorCM2]

Hey tom, this is your style isn't it? you got and videos with cuts like this yet?

[tomurso]

I am not associated with this organization. My cutting skill is thru the All Japan Goshindo Federation which has Toyama/Nakamura ryu as its battodo aspect.

Although similar in some res[pects, the curriculum that I study typically does not include spinning techniques.

[firebat71]

No, it's more difficult.

[tollios6553]

amazing!

[DasDaan]

This stuff takes great skill, excellent!

[TEETHHURTS]

i agree that is excellent swordsmanship

[Khaztarax]

God damn, this is so awesome I've spent the whole day watching this! 5+!

[ghostslug]

Totally Excellent

[harrei]

beautiful!

[ailestrike160]

This group is amazing! Very seldom do you see flashy with practicality!! Awesome...

[Master293]

I agree, this is totally awesome.

[kiba2001]

Why are their do buks Japanese looking????

[thewarriorchannel]

It could be becuase they are practising Wae Geombup or the Japanese method and honouring the traditional garb, but in actuality, i think it just varies from club to club TBH.

[kiba2001]

Didn't know that, THANKS!
