I spent 6 months in Korea studying at Yonsei. It depends on where you'll be at in Korea. I heard the stronger Kendo is actually in the Southern part closer to Pusan. In Seoul the Kendo was so so, it depends on how experienced you are. I went to five different dojos, 2 different colleges and I pwned everyone there. I didn't find the practices difficult, there was never kakarigeiko or uchikomigeiko at any of the places I practiced at but that might be because they wanted to do jigeiko earlier to play me. The summer heat wasn't as unbarable as I thought.

Even in Korea there are some dojangs that spring up with maybe a 3dan teaching. So don't be so sure that you'll find a fake dojo. Oh, check out dongdaemun for some equipment (cheap). I think it's exit 5 @ Dongdaemun Stadium station. I know you can get out at exit 1 and then cross the street (left) and then once upon the other side of the street you go left. I think there are 3 or 4 kumdo stores there.

PM me for more info.
