Feb 1, 2019 at 22:01 comment added Andrew Jay As to kendo / kumdo, the only discernible difference is kendo-ka wear red and white flags; kumdo-in wear blue and white flags. Kendo-ka tend to be more subtle in movement, whereas kumdo-in tend to be more dynamic. Judge calls are made (japanese for kendo, korean for kumdo), and cross-competitors are keen to know both language commands.
Feb 1, 2019 at 22:01 comment added Andrew Jay Actually, no - yudo is nearly identical to judo, and kumdo is nearly identical to kendo. Politically, it is problematic to confuse the two (hence my change), but technically they're the same. So much so, that practitioners in each can and do compete in each other's tournaments.
Feb 1, 2019 at 20:51 comment added mattm Is Yudo distinct in some way from Judo apart from the name? And similarly, is Kumdo distinct from Kendo?
