It's a strong commentary...

No one in Korea believes that Kendo, as practiced by the Japanese, originated in Korea. It is Japanese, plain and simple. I am Korean, and in college we used to do joint friendship competitions with Japan. The alleged issue is who historically first used the Chinese characters, "劍" (pronounced "Jien" in Chinese, "Ken" in Japanese and "Gum" in Korean) and "道" ("Dao" in Chinese, "Do" in Japanese, and "Do" in Korean) to delineate, perhaps mutually exclusive, sword martial arts. Waste of time.

@satsuks Roughly quoted from 'Twilight Samurai,' "it takes sheer animal ferocity to kill a man, with calm disregard for ones own life,... Through years of having talied the dried cod fish stock, I have lost the will to yeild my sword, and have neither of those things in me now; maybe in a month, or two out in the wild with the beasts one could re-obtain these things, but right now, I'm afraid it is completely impossible."

@satsuks Hmm... *ponders for a moment* I guess we all go back to being actual human beings once the mask comes off, huh? So with respect, I appologise, but must stand by my observation. If it is true that the loss was due to lack of refining ones skill, I'm sure this loss was more divine in nature than anyone could even remotely claim to understand.

[satsuks]

(continue) and they admit it. What you're seeing on Youtube are minority, who have their brains fucked up.

@urutoramanization Not everyone in Korea is like that.There are also a lot of Korean Kendo practitioners who believe that Kendo originated in Japan.However, there are also many who still hold grudge against Japan(they love Kendo but hate Japan,so they won't admit that its a Japanese art.) But they are just fucked up. Also, some lie that its Korean so that they can attract more Koreans to do Kendo.I know, it's still not right. But the majority of the Korean population know Kendo is Japanese.

@sneakyfeet19 Fyi, the guy in white is Kim Kyeong Nam, one of the respected kenshi not just in South Korea but also Japan. His skill is with among the top Japanese kenshis like Miyazaki and Ishida. He never lost to any Japanese kenshi (except Ishida) until Eiga.

According to my sensei, who was there at the time, everyone there in the stadium thought Eiga was going to lose. However, Kim lost due to lack of training.

@sneakyfeet19 in addition, you can also tell opponent in white's skill by the way he handles his sword. too many big, over exaggerating movements. I personally do not train under any dojo as of right now. I train alone, in the deserts of Southern CA, and I am eager to enhance my skill. Seeing this allows me to train harder, to make sure I am Never the man in white. it should always be understood and treated as life or death. There is nothing else, in the way of the warrior.

[sneakyfeet19]

I can honestly say... that it is SO obvious, that opponent in Black, is Far superior in skill than opponent in White. Look at moment speed, stance, and during the slow-mo' recap, you can tell the black geared opponent's intent by his forward advance. White Opponent would never have won.
