It's a part of Aikijujutsu training… I have little background on this (but not as extensive as you have...)
The little knowledge i'm sharing here is something that i have absorbed from my instructors, friends and various informative literatures...
Just wondering is your aikijutsu anyway affiliated with Nippon Daito Ryu Aikijutsu? as i understand it also includes sword techniques. Is it part of your curriculum?
I'm not an expert either of the Japanese sword art... But I have a passion of absorbing and learning from the different forms of Martial Arts.
If you want to debate on this matter… we can do it on other site but not here in istorya.net because this is not a debate board. This is a discussion board. The purpose of this forum is to facilitate growth.
oh really? and debate does not facilitate growth? a good debate is also a form discussion.
for example your stand on our discussion-debate? is that because kendo and kumdo use shinai and bokuto (bokken) they are same, but some kenjutsu schools also use shinai and bokken, Abe ryu kenjustu, Sakurai-ha Kogen Itto Ryu kenjutsu, Ishikawa Ryu kenjutsu, Yagyu Shinkage Ryu are just few examples of kenjutsu utilizing shinai.
originally Kumdo comes from Kendo, but it evolved that its different from kendo thats why they are not the same. just like Filipino martial arts, at the start our art comes from the Malays and Indonesians, but again it evolved so that it took on a different form.
Just like language some our dialect can be traced to Malaysia and some even have same meaning, our language cant be called a Malaysian language.
most of the Kumdo website will admit the influence of Kendo to Kumdo, esp during the japanese occupation, but 99 percent of them will say that Kumdo is a Koren Martial Art. They already integrated the Korean sword form that it change kendo the way Japanese introduced it.

Yes, I agree with you on that matter- and I’m not telling people things which they are not from myself, I was just sharing the information from what I have learned!
okay sharing is fine, but i believe that you are already correcting me about things am familiar with. PLEASE FORGIVE ME, i really dont want to be rude and a brag, but youre stand is just based on information coming from reading. Thats why i want to know if you have the experience about the either kendo or kumdo.
Like what I have said earlier, I just absorbed my “little knowledge” from my mentors and various informative sources… and I’m not an expert on Japanese Sword Arts (like you).
oh sorry am not an expert myself, 13 years study does make me an expert. Am just familiar with the people in this line of practice. There are a lot of people who are more knowledgable that i am, sadly there are very few in our lovely City. Have you meet frauds? there are Frauds teaching sword art, its really crazy and funny.

No need to demonstrate Kendo or Kumdo
no need to demonstrate? or you dont know any. common we can just be plain honest. Theres no harm in accepting the truth.
Kamikaze…
Like what I’ve said, I’m not an expert like you… Perhaps you could teach me your art of Kenjutsu instead?
I'd be very much interested on that! [/quote]
You are much welcome!
