Best short demo I've seen in a long time. Good technique, nice setting, good music, well-edited, and did I mention completely flaming awesome? Haidong!
Beautiful. Someone asked me once "hey man you study Haidong Gumdo, what's it like?" I said, well... the short answer is its a Korean art based on their classical sword systems of the Koguro kingdom, but the movements are clearly heavily influenced by the Chinese and they use a more modern sword like unto a katana (but considerably different), called a jingum, and the techniques are certainly influenced by the Japanese who occupied Korea on two separate occasions, the later having the most lasting impact on modern Korean sword fighting (IMO), so that makes sense. Yes Haidong Gumdo proper was/is a marketing contrivance, the founders studied other systems, combined them into an eclectic style which borrowed on classic doctrine and said hey some ancient monk taught me this shit (he didn't and a court brought that to light) but I think you'll find a good measure of myth in most martial arts systems, I don't really care if the techniques are 20 or 2000 years old. does it work? hell yes, and its practiced all over the world! Having studied Japanese sword previously I can tell you its quite different, while it does share some basic exercises and cutting methods, when it gets down to applications its a whole other animal. I love the flow and feel of the forms, and practicing Haidong Gumdo has made me a much better swordsman. People will suggest the Koreans didn't have swords because historical references to such are obscure at best, but I'll cite japans own national museum as a good source for such and the murals from the Imjen War; but ultimately the Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans are ever going to seek to discredit each other, me I'm just going to keep on learning the best of what all three cultures have to offer, no matter how much one resembles or borrows on another. the world does not exist in a vacuum and neither do the martial arts.
Jason Petrini After Imjinwar, bureaucratic Yu Songron of the Joseon dynasty wrote "懲秘録". The contents. "There are 100 generals in our country. However, there is none of the generals knowing the training method of the soldier" When "Japan attacked our country, the weapon of the royal palace arsenal was rusted all, and it was impossible to pull it out of a sheath." "The Japanese arrow attacks our national military. However, the arrow of our military drops before a long way off of the Japanese military" "Nihoto of the minimum class is much more excellent than our highest grade sword. The Japanese soldier is not afraid of our sword and spear" (with the Korean history textbook, I make a Korean sword the world's best performance) After Imjinwar. Korea imported Nihonto from Japan. And Korean Muhang (general) was proud of Nihonto which got rusty to Japanese samurai. And he pulled nihonto over the left shoulder. In the photograph of association of modern Korean kumudo's chairperson, the chairperson raises nihonto which got rusty red-hot proudly.
Jason Petrini The Korean is proud of 1785 martial arts book "Mudobotongji". And many lie Korean tradition martial arts schools raise preface of "Muedobotongji" as evidence of Korean traditional martial arts. The contents. "Our country has no martial arts handed down by an ancestor. The soldier of the royal palace did only an exercise of bow in the backyard of the palace. An officer reads this book, and I do not think that I train martial arts. I expect it of far-off future people" The sword item in "Mudobotongji" is a copy of Chinese "紀効新書". "紀効新書" is a copy of "Kageryumokuroku" which Japanese pirates possessed. The reason why a Korean cannot understand preface of "Muedobotongji." In the Korean government, the Korean government prohibited the kanji education to children as an outdated inferior letter in Kanji. (1970) Many Koreans did not thereby understand even the original of the Republic of Korea constitution. Of course. The Korean cannot understand an official document of Joseon dynasty u which was 100%kanji notation. (to 1895, the Joseon kingship was the Chinese local governor. Therefore clothes of the King are the badges of rank. It was impossible social position that a Joseon king gave an interview with the Chinese emperor. The Joseon dynasty founder promised subordination to China. Therefore the Joseon kingship was the slave who was lower than a Chinese low-class public employee) And, by the Korean culture, labor and martial arts to sweat are vulgar acts. Therefore, in Korea, the fraud for self-profit became the virtue. (I sign on international outlawry, international treaty disregard, business and ignore it) In the national sports school of Korea, I tell the rough play. And bribes from association of sports in the international meeting in Korea to a judge man are rightful acts in Korea. Therefore the Korean purchases the social position of federation of international sports's chairperson in money.
@UCwlCXEJtPhLpptIT16JP2bQ wisdom for those who wish to hear it I suppose. Cling to your ideas of fools and wisdom and its all you will have in the end, said once a fool
heading kumdo forms are based on battling several opponents instead of dueling 1vs1. which is why most of the techniques use centrifugal force to generate enough power to cut through. as the human eye can see only 120 degrees at a time, spinning helps map out a 360 view of next-in-line incoming attackers
+Neutral Fellow But thrusts are made to pierce an enemy, The aim of Haidong gumdo is to slice open / Slay someone quickly. Basically, The least strikes you do, the better it is. Which in contrast of thrusts which are faster but less deadly (except if you aim organs, or the guy has no armor ; we can say that thrusting has less chance to Kill in one strike than slicing.) and this style of combat changes drastically your positions which follows more the way of Fencing. I don't know if you fight (and please don't take this aggressively) but a well placed spinning can change a tide of a battle but it's not the usual. If you have 2 ennemies against you, one facing you and one behind you ; Thrusts lose their advantage again : The goal is not to fight 1 but many ennemies.
Exclude this user "Enushisama", he monopolizes the comments with stupid accusations, and trying to convince Haedong Kumdo practitioners that only Japanese culture worth. He hates koreans, and he thinks he is owner of the truth. Ban this user!
id like to know how much you wasted on that slow motion cap video camera for this google advert like video. none of this would work, the jumping the skipping, or throwing yourself off balance in the middle of a battlefield. it looks cool to children but very impractical. not to mention the entire art is based off a lie. a modern sword martial art that uses japanese katanas look in any history book you wont see koreans with katanas.
After Japan took over Korea they outlawed Korean martial arts, but they allowed Koreans to practice Japanese martial arts. That is how kumdo came to be. The the Koreans learned Kendo, and put their own spin on it.
dmp762 bla bla bla... koreans copy... more... bla bla bla... who promoted you to be a lawyer of the Japanese people? thing seems spoiled brat whining ... go practice paper cuts like that other idiot called Scotthebayomustdie. Please, go find some girlfriend, forget Haedong Kumdo and koreans... please...
arashipower I was stating verifiable history. I was explaining the circumstances the Koreans were under, and why that led to them making there own version of kendo. The comment I was responding to made it sound like the Koreans just ripped off the Japanese, when in reality it was the Japanese fault for making only Japanese martial arts legal to practice in Korea. So, no, I was not defending the Japanese.
And your review will bring some benefit? No?! And, yes, you are making accusations based on speculation like others fanatics. I was practice Kendo once time, and its very different than Haedong Kumdo.

Agreed. And the Koreans are known to have practiced largely archery and spearfighting than swordsmanship.

Very nice.The balloon seemed to be cut before it knew what happened to it
Cool cutz
Fine job
Truely a very nice movie
A nice demonstration! I would like to try tameshigiri with the dual style too! Next time ={>)
Why so much spinning? It is to confuse the opponent? Most two-sword moves I've seen are very straight-line.
heading kumdo forms are based on battling several opponents instead of dueling 1vs1. which is why most of the techniques use centrifugal force to generate enough power to cut through. as the human eye can see only 120 degrees at a time, spinning helps map out a 360 view of next-in-line incoming attackers
Interesting! Thanks for getting back to me!
+Christian Pöyhönen That is idiotic and would result in a quick death since thrusts are faster than swings. This is nothing but choreography.

tameshigiri was cool other stuf is crap
Ummm crap how lol without form in martial arts there is no technique and application to fighting.
I hate when they jump around and swing swords around while doing tameshigiri in these videos i never did that
poor koerans...
what u guys can do is just copying japan and china...
better create completely new things urselves
After Japan took over Korea they outlawed Korean martial arts, but they allowed Koreans to practice Japanese martial arts. That is how kumdo came to be. The the Koreans learned Kendo, and put their own spin on it.
