kumdo 

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 ancient form of Kumdo, which dates back to the 14th century.

Kumdo 

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

Kumdo means "way of the sword."

kumon 

The most horrible thing that has ever existed. That one thing that ruins your social life FOREVER. Also another way for parents to torture their kids without any physical abuse. Kids who have not yet enrolled in Kumon, if anybody even mentions it to you, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE AND NEVER TURN BACK.

Mother: *On the phone* Yeah, I'm thinking of sending him/her to Kumon, their grades aren't very good...

Kid: *Overhears* AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Runs as far as their legs can take them*

kumon 

the worst thing in the world. you could be out enjoying life but NO, you have to sit down and finish 4 booklets with ten pages of stupid math problems. yeah that's right 400 QUESTIONS.

IT DOES NOT HELP. AT ALL. it's so repetitive doing the same booklets 6 times over and your parents say "it's for your own good, you'll pass this way." IT DONT WORK. the instructors suck.

TO KIDS WHO DONT DO KUMON IF YOU EVER HEAR KUMON COMING FROM YOUR PARENTS MOUTH RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!! IT WILL DESTROY YOUR LIFE, IT TAKES UP SO MUCH TIME ON TOP OF ALL THE SCHOOL WORK! YOU WON'T EVEN GET TO ENJOY YOUR LIFE BC OF KUMON.

I'm even scared of my dad who is forcing me to do this. I wanna quit but ill just get yelled at.

parent: have you finished your Kumon?
kid: no
parent: *knocks fist on table* let me tell you, if you don't finish, you will not eat, you will not sleep, you don't wanna know what I'll do to you.

kid: *visibly shaking*
parent: finish it now

Kumon. Oh mah lawd, Kumon.
They start you off with little kid problems (assuming you're just. That. Stupid.), and eat away at your life slowly as you sit there in your house on Saturday afternoons, scribbling away at your Kumon packets while everybody else maintains a social life. To the Kumon instructors, everybody learns the same way. Can't solve math problems that quickly, but understand the basics of it to be able to work it out carefully? Sorry, Charlie. Let's do it again until your brain works in the manufactured Kumon way.

To the people who are not yet enrolled in Kumon: when your parent makes any reference to the place in any way, shape, or form, RUN LIKE THE WIND.

Friend: So, Cassidy... what did you do this weekend? I didn't see you all last week; where were you?
Cassidy: Oh, you know... sitting in my house, doing Kumon packets.

kumon is the big brother of math and the best mental torture technique, if you ever hear your parents say that you will get enrolled in kumon, you have three options, convince parents to not enroll you in kumon, run for your life, go into kumon and get mental breakdown that gets worse everyday

kumon: here easy

person: okay

1 year later....

kumon: HERE YOUR CALCULUS LAGEBRA WORKSHEET. AND I DONT FUCKING CARE IF YOUR 6

Person: *cries*
