Excellent post. One of the best introductions to kendo that I’ve ever seen.

I was going to edit this by saying our society (america), but then I thought about it again… and that plague has probably spread around the world now.

Can someone please teach me how to perform the dimak?!
I saw it in a movie once, starring jean claude van damme. And even though I know its only a movie, he learned the dimak in like 45 minutes… I timed it.

jk.

There are way too many greedy teachers.

And our world in general is impatient.

So sad to see traditional martial arts dying.

Yea, I was kind of surprised when he listed those prices. The costs associated with kendo/kumdo around my area (NYC) are fairly expensive. Most places, even clubs that practice in churches and such, cost around $100/month. Thats not even taking into consideration the cost of gear :[

@Sain Kumdo.

I’ve been looking for a school to study kumdo. I did quite a bunch of google searching and based on the name of a school my friend used to go to (14 years ago :[), I found some. But they’re all in New Jersey… DAMN YOU NEW JERSEY!!~! Anyway, out of morbid curiosity, I called this school in the dirty jerz, and they referred me to a place called sain kumdo…. I can’t find anything about it and was wondering if it’s an actual school? And if so where is it?!
