This is a sensitive subject, and while I am all for some kind of union between Kendo and Kumdo in the US - the terms under which the AUSKF are considering the merger are unsettling.

Particularly, the concept that a Kumdo Federation would exist as a seperate Federation - regardless of region - within the AUSKF. This would allow, for example, a Kumdo dojo in Washington to exist outside of the PNKF and yet still hold gradings, participate in taikais etc. The difficulties with this arrangement seem large.
