  • 短い包丁を刃先を前にして脇に挟んどけ!!

    トンスル

  • もう朝鮮にはウンザリだ。朝鮮との関係悪化の暁には、徹底追及し­て似非剣道をカスも残らないくらいに取り上げて駆除してやるから­そのつもりでいやがれ

  • ハングルが気持ち悪い

  • @arhvash haedong gumdo is korean, gumdo is japanese copy. gumdo has all the same patterns and techniques from what i've seen. however as a sword art, both is rubbish. however gumdo and kendo is super to get a great physical condition.

  • quite ok, noto is not too good though, he even hits the inside of his saya twice at 02:21 :/ i also suspect a thin hira tsukuri type sword, as the koreans are quite fond of using them for demonstrations, so that their cuts always look super clean, no matter if they're any good or not. his balance is also very messed up due to his kendo practice.

  • If he could do this with a japanese katana then that would be impressive !! I have a gumdo sword like the one he is using , they are so thin it is like cheating on mats compared to a katana. good skills none the less though !

  • Gumdo IS a copy of Japanese arts - that's doesn't mean the skill involved isn't real. People have learned the weapon and the technique, acknowledge it at the very least. Koryu is very difficult to find outside of Japan. Cutting tatami is a modern practice. If you think this man with this sword will not be able to "practically" cut you, you are a fool.

  • This is gumdo, "korean sword art" koreans say that it has korean roots, others say that it`s a copy of japanese sword arts.

    Anyways, they use much thinner blades in tameshigiri and much lighter targets fot cutting. Those were not real tatami mats as you can see. Put all this together and you get a great show, but not something practical . The sword blades are to thin to be used in real battle against real armor. So this would not bee seen on a battlefield. Just fun entertainment.

  • rally impressive great ability i'm wandering what stile is he demostrating, i'm pretty sure it is not a koryu

  • omg those siklls are incredible
