Kumdo is an korean sword art, which is similar to Japanese kendo. Sword arts originate as far back 3000 years ago in the bronze age in korea, but really developed in the three kingdom era. The sword arts developed during this period heavily influenced the sword arts in japan. After the Japanese occupation, kumdo was forced to adopt Japanese uniforms, and this tradition still persists today, though many organizations also use korean uniforms.
Haidong Kumdo is a variant of kumdo that orijinated in the Baekje period, and has heavily influnced Japanese kenjtsu.
I study Chosun Sebup, the most ancientform of Kumdo, which dates back to the 14th century.
Commonly mistaken as a ripoff of kendo, kumdo is a korean martial art that was developed in conjunction with kendo, its Japanese counterpart. Contrary to popular belief, it was Korea who introduced swordsmanship and swordmaking to Japan, hence the "katanas" you see in koeran dramas.
Many Japanese claim that Koreans are using Japanese swords in dramas, as they do not realize that "katanas" are not uniquely Japanese.
Korean "katanas" are more diverse, and called hwando, yedo, or jingum
A collective term used for the exceptionally rabid, toxic fandom and loud minority of the gacha game, "Wuthering Waves" who are particularly toxic against the fandom of other gacha games or the actual other game or to any who dare criticize their game and group. Their toxicity even extends beyond just gacha games in general.
Be careful what you say against Wuthering Waves or else the Kudogs are going to gang up on you.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
