Kumdo

Intro: A popular sport in Japanese and Korean communities.

Origin: Japan

History:
Kumdo (Kendo in Japan) is the sport and competitive form of the Japanese art
of Kenjutsu. Kumdo has been practiced for a long time in one form or another.

Description:
The practitioners wear protective armor and use simulated swords (split
bamboo called "shinai") to "spar" against one another. Strike areas are
limited as are moves. It is a very formal art. It is linear, hard, and external.

Training:
Training mostly consists of two-person drills, basics, and some kata that
have been retained from kenjutsu between individuals.
