@XoNMan1
I can't understand why you arrived at such conclusion. You willingly brought up non-HaidongGumdo-related issues and detonated yourself. it's not me who raised unrelated topics at the start. I just can't understand why you arrived at such conclusion.

Japan was not especially worse than other parties and didn't do genocide against Tasmanian Aborigines like your ancestors. You brought up unrelated historical issues but will never face the "culture theft" by Koreans. For what purpose did you come here?

@HaedongKumdoIsaLie You call me sneaky whilst inferring I'm somehow responsible for the actions of English convicts over 100 years ago? And you suggest Australian history is worse than Japans? Perhaps you might want to read into Japans treatment of POWs during WWII.

"I note that China has several katana-like blades, did they steal Japanese culture as well?"
Japanese and Chinese have a high degree of respect for each other's traditional culture. I will say this again, don't replace a problem with something else. You are very sneaky.

Pure Tasmanian aboriginies became extinct in 1876 because of that. Australia has a bigger flaw than Japan or Korea. You have no right to blame other countries' history, and historical flaw of every country has nothing to do with the "culture theft" by Koreans.

@XoNMan1
So are you saying Australia has no flaw in your history?
"Aboriginies had no external contact to any other cultures until England slaves settled here"
It's all the worse. You white guys overran the continent and used to do "aboriginie hunting".

@HaedongKumdoIsaLie That is not a good argument, since Aboriginies had no external contact to any other cultures until England slaves settled here, so it would be obviously ridiculous from the start. I'm not trying to be 'sneaky', just pointing out that Japan is hardly without flaw in their long history as much as Korea is not without flaw. I note that China has several katana-like blades, did they steal Japanese culture as well?

@HaedongKumdoIsaLie I'm sure that Korea probably resents the many years of Japanese occupation as well... Japan hardly has a faultless history.

Japanese don't care whether Haidong Gumdo is enjoyable or not for you. The fact remains that Haidong Gumdo is fraud and Koreans stole Japanese culture. This is the issue.

@HaedongKumdoIsaLie Clearly nothing I say will have any affect on you here. I apologise if this felt like me attacking you in particular, my comments are aimed at everyone posting anti-HDGD propaganda. You must understand we don't train because gumdo is a 5,000 year old art handed down from god himself, or because it's a traditional Korean art, only because it's enjoyable, and it's taught nearby, where no Japanese sword arts are.
