	Kumdo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kumdo is a modern martial art of fencing, the Korean equivalent of Japanese kendo.
		A few Kumdo dojangs will also incorporate kuhapdo, the Korean variant for iaido in their curriculum as opposed to the typical distinction where iaido is taught as a distinctly different though complementary art alongside kendo.
		Kumdo practitioners in Korea now number over 400,000 and is considered the second most popular martial art in Korea today, with Taekwondo being the most popular and Yudo and Hapkido a distant third.

	KUMDO INDIA
		From there on, Kumdo, the modern amalgamation of "the art of the sword" and "the way of righteousness" from the Taoist philosophy, was developed to be practiced by some as a sport and by others as a means of character development or spiritual refinement.
		By the early 20th century, Kumdo training had adopted and utilized a practice weapon made of bamboo and lightweight armor that had been developed by the Japanese.
		Yet, the Kumdo popularity had been limited until early 1960 when the practice armor could be mass produced with the latest materials.

	Kumdo
		The use of the jung kum is not universal in Kumdo, however, and the Japanese katana oftentimes replaces it.
		Kumdo, on the other hand, mimics many of the Iaido sword techniques, but emphasis is not placed upon the spiritual elements of the art.
		It is for this reason that the Kumdo practitioner spend many months and even years performing sword forms and individual solo practice sessions, in order to become very familiar with the weapon before he moves onto the more advanced partner training drills.

	IL KUM KWAN KUMDO SCHOOL
		Kumdo, the art of Sword, and of all martial arts, is not the perfection of a physical technique but the advancement of body, mind and soul.
		Kumdo is the sport of korean fencing, which has evolved from the traditional-sword arts to its current form.
		The Kumdo practices with a bamboo sword called a 'jook do', the goal is to score strikes in designated areas on the opponent’s body (the waist area, top of head, wrist, and the neck).

		Kumdo emphasizes discipline since it is only through the sometimes harsh feudal methods that one can reach the ultimate goal of the master - mastery of yourself.
		An enthusiastic Kumdo student must never forget that he is joining a society whose training program dates back to very ancient military practice and whose members are conditioned to accept rigors in this training not for their own sake but for the moral values behind them.
		Kumdo training is based on a variety of movements of attack and defense.

	Explanations of Kumdo
		Kumdo theory establishes the following priority of importance for physical and mental aspects of technical skills: icchi-gan (first-eyes), ni-soku (second-feet), san-tan (thrid-courage), shi-riki (fourth-strength).
		Futhermore, kumdo helps manifest the immense capabilities of the human being in insisting that the individual always be confidant of his actions and know when to bring them to a conclusive peak.
		Modern kumdo developed from actual armed combat into a kumdo involving kata and ultimately into the kind of kumdo practiced today, in which the jukdo has replaced the sword.

		Bushido is like Kumdo in that both adopted methods using armors and swords that were made of bamboo for practice battles.
		Kumdo is still practiced in Asia today as a way to sharpen the mind and body.

		I'm not saying everyone practicing kumdo is ultra aggressive and everyone practicing kendo just waits, but I guess its the trend overall for both.
		We teach that there are 3 chances to get a strike in, these are when the opponnent has just committed his body to an action, just completed an action, and when his body is at rest or stops for an instant.

		Kumdo also does some, what we call one step techniques, with bokken that I have not seen in a Kendo dojo.
		Now i hear that this is not the case, besides some differences in the approach to training and the general look, kendo and kumdo are the same.....however when i see shiai involving kumdo players they usually always attack in combination, yet i consistantly hear that this is just coincedence.

	Attn: Bruce Sims - Kendo vs Kumdo? (Sword Forum International)
		My Kumdo group leaders - all Korean- seem very big into Korean nationalism, and totally blew off any suggestion that somehow what they were doing was of Japanese-origin, and pointed to the historical information about old Korean fencing on a website.
		Perhaps its because the instructors use Kumdo to reach out to the small local Korean-American community, pushing it as a Korean cultural experience for the kids.
		It's also something of a joke that Judo became what was described in Seoul Olympic brochures as the ancient Korean art of Yudo, and Shotokan karate became the ancient Korean art of taekwondo, both during the 1950s-1960s.

		Yes, Kumdo is closely related to the Japanese Kendo.
		But there are differences between the arts, and indeed differences between different schools of Kumdo in Korea.
		There are demonstrations of skills, competitions on who can do moves with more precision, and of course they do actually go at each other with swords from time to time.

		Consequently, Kumdo and Kendo are the same sport, but only the names and the vocabulary are different from each other.
