    【July 11, 1594】我國自古劍術不傳

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

    【It is The official document at Korean Dynasty 】

    Introductory chapter : 我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”

    It is plagiarism from Japan that is traditional martial arts in Korea 1000years or more.

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

    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?

    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.

  • 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.
