you know something is good when the shit talkers come out to say a couple things about it... k, this is kumdo...but kendo and kumdo are basicly the same. OOOOO!!! so you say differnt things cause your language is differnt and in kendo you squat before you spar and in kumdo you bow before you spar. nothing really changes. Haidong kumdo is like, some completely differnt thing, this is kumdo/kendo. but yea this kumdo/kendo sabunim/sensei is legit, they are in new jersey, stop your shit talkin

Watch "the best" in slow motion during a fight and you will see that they are still in very precise forms, though they may not actually stop between each. These particular demonstrations are for encounters against a single opponent, the average of which only lasts somewhere around two seconds. One of the reasons for the 'pose' is preparation for a possible second or more opponents which may not have been present or visible when the initial confrontation began. And 'inusable' is not a word.

Actually, it is not posing, it is awareness (jamshim in Korean, zanshin in Japanese). Traditional Asian sword art have many rituals which conceptually are difficult to understand for the passerby. Just as in any discipline, whether it be physical or mental, training brings understanding.

forms just teach you how to move, they're just templates
