Kumdo/Kendo

Kumdo is a modern martial art of fencing, the Korean equivalent of Japanese Kendo. The name means "the way of the sword," using the same Chinese characters as Kendo. Kumdo pursues one’s perfect harmony of inner strength ("Ki"), absolute and unbounded swing of the sword ("Kum"), and use of lower back and body ("Chae"). The primary purpose of Kumdo is not self-defense, but the development of discipline and self-control. The spiritual maturity combined with strength and speed-this is the essence of Kumdo.
