As someone of Japanese descent I'm flattered by the similarities. After all, without mainland knowledge, much of which came to us through Korea, there would be no swords in Japan (or writing, Confucianism, Buddhism, and so on). Some of our greatest accomplishments have been built directly upon innovations from the mainland and we owe them our gratitude. If the Koreans wish to incorporate aspects of our culture into theirs & modify it to their liking, then I applaud their open-minded efforts.

just to be clear, the japanese swordsmithing and swordplay hold their roots in korean swordsmithing and swordplay and vice versa. now this may seem contradictory but, throughout the centuries, the countries are so old that both styles have influenced each other, and have interwined. they still have individual styles in certain parts but many are and will always be the same. some techniques have just resulted as the best solution i.e. the basic downward swing and coincidentally were the same.

Let me clear it out for all the angry comments here. Kumdo literally means swordmanship like kendo. So those that say that the term kumdo is a copy of kendo has no idea about what they are talking about. And yes, kumdo did derive from kendo, but in that sense japanese karate would be a copy of kung-fu! Many martial arts started out as a copy or an equivalent of other martial arts. Yes, It did derive from kendo but considering its short history, it is not that strange to see many similarities with japanese kendo. Lastly, it does have its unique characteristics especially when it comes to haedong kumdo.

Korea had superb fighters in the past, but their expertise was the bow, not the sword. Come on, why is so hard for Koreans in average to accept that Tae Kwon Do (copy of Japanese karate) and Haidong Gumdo (copy of Japanese Kendo) are relatively modern martial arts derived from those mentioned?. There's nothing wrong about being a modern art. Aikido for example is modern art based on Dayto Ryu Aikijutsu, so Morihei Ueshiba took its principles and created his version of a more soft and defensive-only martial art, and is a great and superb modern martial art. Jeet Kune do is the same, Bruce Lee took what he considered was useful from many martial arts (not only Chinese) and made his own modern martial art. Even martial arts considered "ancient" (from 900 or 1000 years ago or even more) are just adaptations and modifications of more ancient styles of fights, all the way through the Indian martial arts which I think are the most ancient as historians were able to track back. So, Shaolin style derived from the teaching of an Indian priest called Bodhidharma that arrived to the Shaolin monks temple and taughted them to fight. Also, Okinawan Karate comes from Chinese martial arts, when some Chinese arrived to the coast of Japan. So my point is, there's nothing wrong on accepting the origins of a martial arts, so why the heck many Koreans are saying that this Haidong Gumdo and other of their modern martial arts are "ancient", coming from the Three Kingdoms era??. That's BS, is only misinformed propaganda and wrong nationalism based in lies.

"The south of Korea was dominated by the Japanese, the king submitted it to Japan as a hostage for the royal family" Until the sixth century, the south of Korea was the dominant land of Japan. 16 th century. Imjinwar. Invasion of Korea by Hideyoshi. First time. Japan repeated the half-day battle and the two-day holiday, and occupied Seoul after 29 days. And the first enemy was cold and food shortage. Many of the swords in the Korean Royal Palace arsenal were rusty and could not be used. Second time. It is almost the same as last time. By the death of Hideyoshi, Japan and China made peace. after that. Korea bought a martial arts book from China. (Copy of Japanese martial art book) And they imported Nihonto.

[@taihuu25go]

From the 14th century to 1895, Korea was a Chinese slave country. (Ming & Qin) 1895. According to Article 1 of the Shimonoseki treaty between Japan and Qin, Korea became independent from China. 1910. The Joseon dynasty failed to repay the huge external debt made by the king and queen. (I also did not make efforts for that) The king begged for consolidation to Japan. With the approval of the United States and Europe, Japan annexed Korea. There was no gunshot of a shot there. In the history education by the Korean government, it is "armed invasion by Japan". From the 19th century, Japan had military training to the Korean army. In Korean traditional thought, labor and martial arts training is "a desperate act of slave only". After 1910. Excellent Korean people were recommended for military academies in Japan. In 1945, the Prince Joseon Dynasty is Lieutenant General of the Japanese Army. President Park was the lieutenant of the Japanese Army. All the Korean commanders in the Korean War are former Japanese soldiers' Korean officers.

@cla52470 Dude koreans where using swords before china, This is found in CHINESE records, I practise wushu and have been studing Martial arts history (not through a SINGLE school sistem) and really u cant say that such a thing is only from that country, plus ALOT of suff from japan is from korea like buddism for example. I respect others thoughts but just dont go after koreans man seriously. Have a happy new year (no sarcasm) and i hope that we all learn more respect from here on out XD

斬った後のあの無駄な動きは何なんだ

[@Beelzefenrir]

which means they gotta be very prepare to get chopped... kendo doesnt have a blocking system, its all about getting hit and hit the other guy non-stop... which makes it a stupid sport.

Why learn this when you can shoot a gun?

[@tenthdoctor2125]

+Miko Espenilla Because it is not so much the practicality, but the preservation of a way of life or a fashion of thinking.

+TenthDoctor I'm confused

[@Moonsplosion]

+Miko Espenilla Yes exactly. I mean, why play soccer when you can just make a soccer ball cannon to shoot the ball into the goal? Why play ice hockey when you can just shoot the puck into the net? Why watch violent tv shows when you can just shoot people? Why play an FPS when you can just shoot people? It's a hobby dude. And it's exercise. Let people enjoy the things they enjoy.

@karatekid525 Then you can claim to be a great Iaijutsu practitioner. I have no problem praising you as long as you don't claim this is Korean.

[@zzyklon11]

this is not only an insult to japan if not also for korea..... korea that has lost much of its history before the Japanese occupation does not mean they should plagiarize Japanese culture .. this is an offense for such honorable people as the Korean which has its own history.

[@jstyledipset]

Haidong Gumdo is sooooo different compared to kendo...

[@jamescordial2276]

jhonatan Z Korea didn't lose anything...it was stolen by the japanese

[@hayek218]

James Cordial So what is it that in your only martial arts book, Muyedobotongji, it is said that Koreans only practiced archery as martial arts? How come these people wearing Japanese clothes and using Japanese swords?

[@jamescordial2276]

Maybe it is the japanese that stole it from the korens

[@hayek218]

James Cordial Where does it say? Hope? Why don't you read books written by Westeners who went there before the annexation to get some idea of what it was like in Korea.

[@unchi1991]

funny

[@33yoshidai]

funny. Fake samurai

[@bhedrick101]

You are aware that there haven't been samurai for a hundred years? You might find some similarities between Haidong Gumdo and some Japanese arts. Much like karate and taekwondo have similar kata. Which japanese art do you think these forms come from?

[@tristantsang4325]

@@kakuto435 and karate comes from Kung fu, doesn’t make it any less valid as a martial art

[@outsideiskrrtinsideihurt699]

@@tristantsang4325 you’re right it doesn’t make it any less valid, but denying its origin and claiming to be rooted in hundreds of years in tradition is messed up

Korean style of japanese iaido... Nothing new or original

[@bhedrick101]

Iaido is a stylized art of drawing the sword and returning it into the scabbard. Haedong Gumdo is a fighting art with very little stylized parts.

[@outsideiskrrtinsideihurt699]

@@bhedrick101 what about the twirling, rolling, jumping, and other acrobatics? That’s not stylized? I think Haidong Gumdo is a lot more impractical than you think. None of that would work on a battlefield.

[@Wuei108]

What kind of childish words are to be read as coments here. And: the sword art is to be practised, not be looked at. Looking at sword practise is what fools do. So get your sword or your safety equipment and train. And shut up!
