Okay, we have three words that are comepting right now, Kumdoga( 검도가 ), Kumdoja ( 검도자 ), 검도인(Kumdoin). You can type all three Korean words in google and see how many people actually using such words. And these are the result;

Kumdoka( 검도가 ): 0
Kumdoja( 검도자 ) : 0
Kumdoin(검도인 ) : countless.....

Kumdoin( 검도인 ) is what everyone is using. But mostly we use such word Kumdoin in writing.

(Wrong),
Are you a Kumdoin ? others will say (what the hell are you talking about?)

(Right way of asking)
Do you practice Kumdo ?

Ok, 검도인 (kumdo-in) is more used as it sounds right, 인 (in= person). 검도가 (kumdoga) is traditional, and what the hell is 검도자 (kumdoja)??

Any Koreans who are doing Kendo ?? You can swing by my blog, cyworld, and join the club. kendousa.cyworld.com It would be coold if we can share some information together !!!


Cheers,

Well, i practice kumdo, and i dont even know what im called. I just like to call myself a Kumdoka. Not very original, but it works.

가입했습니다~

i've also heard people say kumdosa...

[Soadiassy]

I think its Kumdoja. Well i cant translate a few words for you.

Men = Muri
Kote= Sunmok
Do = Huri
Tsuki = Jirum
Free sparring = Yunzup


Thats realy all i know, because the kumdojas in my Dojang translate a lot of the stuff to english to help me out a little.

Pretty much same. couple of differences are Kumdo doesn't do sonkyo and using blue flag during shiai instead of red flag. Terminilogies are translated to Korean. That is all...

If you want more, check out this movie. This is documentary about Korean Kumdoka who lost his hands while he was working at the factory. It is about his story who goes to regional competition. Great story, sorry it is in Korean...

Hey,
Sorry, I don't know much about Korean kumdo. Do you use the same style japanese bogu in this sport? Men, kote, do, shinai, etc?
Just curious.

[sportsbettinge]

Alright, thanks for all the answers, guys. I'll remember those if I'm ever reading anything and they come up.

[AnypecekceS]

Kumdoin = Kendoka

[Kotyara]

Andou,

You are not being rude or offensive. Correct word would be Kumdo-in. "In" means human(人). However, we usally don't say "I am Kumdoin". We would rather say "I do(play, practice) Kumdo."

Hey hey. Not sure if I'm being offensive (I'm really trying not to be...just curious). But since Korea has Kumdo, is there a set Korean word for Kendoka? I don't know many Korean words and since Korea is also doing kendo, I'd at least like to try and learn some vocabulary if I come across it for the future. Thanks.

검도가 (Kumdoga) also is used. My father used to practice in Korea, he knows.

Kumdoga = Kendoka

[BartRonalds]

ga or ja?

as in gaaar, im a pirate?
or
as in jah man! im a jamaican?

(stupid retarded examples.. i know..)

if ur comp supports korean 자 or 가?

[megatrendsZ]

I understand. But we do not use direct translation. I don't know why but correct term is Kumdoin 검도인, instead of Kumdoja검도자. If you go to Korean Kumdo Association(KKA)'s website, they used Kumdoin(검도인) as kendoka..

1947년에 서울시경찰관검도대회가 처음으로 개최되었다. 광복 후 혼란한 시대에 치안의 필요성에 따라 군정 하에 경찰이 탄생하였고 서정학 선생이 주동이 되어 경찰에 상무회가 조직 활성화되었다. 이듬해인 1948년에는 강낙원, 서정학, 호익용, 김영달, 박종국, 김영배 선생을 비롯하여 전국에서 근 100여 명의 사범급 검도인이 창덕궁에서 모임을 가지고 대한검도회를 결성하였다.

현재 검도인구는 약50만명, 대한검도회에 등록된 유단자 수는 10만명을 넘었다.

you sure? wldnt it be kendojin in japanese if tht were true?

if u translate the kanji into hanja it shoudl be kumdoja..
