This is the cache of Korean kumdo exhibision for Japan EXPO 2011. Korean Kumdo organization is one of the notorious revisionist group based on Korean ethno-centrism with anti-Japan propaganda . The Korean groups spread fake history of kumdo trying to steal Japan's kendo tradition, history and fame.
There was Korean's wicked ambitious to re-write and steal Japanese history and culture of origin and Sea of Japan too.
“The way of the sunbeam which spreads light over the East Sea”: that’s what Haidong Gumdo literally means.
This explanation by the Korean group that "Haidong"(Or haedong), (海東) means "East Sea" is DISTORTURE. It means sea of Japan when Korean wrote East Sea .
Correct translation is "Haidong(海東) means "We(Korea) are in the east of China across the (China) Sea " It is not the East Sea but it is east across the sea from China"
Haidong (or haedong:海東) DOESNT means Sea of Japan (or East (korea) Sea). It means nickname of Bolhae (渤海, located on Manchuria, not Korea) named by China Tang dynasty, and later "Joseon(朝鮮:Korea). There are korean peninsula , located on East(東) of China across the sea(海) . So Korea "they are Haedong"(East across the sea). Acient times, China is center of Asia.
Sigi (史記) Story of Joseon(Korea:朝鮮列伝)
Crown Prince Dan of Yan escaped to Liao-Tong.(遼東) , Wiman(衛満) was gathering Haedong海東 with their refugees of Yan
朝鮮列伝:
燕の太子丹は遼東に逃れ、衛満は燕の亡民を収めて海東(朝鮮)に集まり、真番を平定し、要塞を保有して漢の外臣になった。
(New Tang-record)新唐書:「海東盛国」 〔Tang dynasty named Bolhae as "East (of Tang(China)) across the sea.

The sword according to Haidong Gumdo
After Japanese martial arts, Japan Expo proposes to discover, for the very first time, Haidong Gumdo, the Korean traditional sword martial art!
“The way of the sunbeam which spreads light over the East Sea”: that’s what Haidong Gumdo literally means. This Korean martial art finds its roots in the ancient techniques of the Goguryeo kingdom warriors.
Haidong Gumdo is made of dynamic, powerful and aesthetic movements. Don’t miss the demonstrations by the Haidong Gumdo French Federation at Japan Expo! And why not try it yourself?
----------------------------------------------------------------I really surprised that those anti-Japan propaganda Korean ethno-centrist group which abuses hisotircal and traditional distorture ,try to join in JAPAN EXPO as their fabricated anti-Japan Propaganda incruding anti-Sea of Japan . It is really shame on Korean.
SEE THIS PAGE TO UNDERSTAND HOW KOREAN KUMDO PROPAGANDA GROUPS (Anti-Japan Group) SPREDING DISTORTURE STORY.
additional; Korean connection, seems like copy of Japan Expo, explains Ninjutsu(忍術) is Korean marshall arts. Shame.
