On that you can trust me ;)Then again, for the most part the same can be said of any move while training with a partner, right? Not just for sword-based, but thinks like judo and hapkido, also. You need to learn to take a hit.

its not too bad if you know how to properly receive tsuki. tuck your chin and step back to absorb the impact. trying to dodge it can lead to pain.

Kendo represents Japanese samurai history.Kumdo doesn't. That's the big difference.Kendo, Judo, Aikido, Iaido, these are all origined to Japanese bloody history and not a sports.

i practive Kendo and believe me, yes it hurts ^^

Wrong.Kumdo and kendo are almost identical. Just one significant rule: sonkyo before and after geiko. A few more differences, use of Korean to call the targets and attitude during the fight, but no new rules.In fact, the Korean Kumdo Team won the last World Kendo Championship.Kumdo is the pronunciation way of the japanese word Kendo.Koreans claims about kendo origins are more a nationalistic claim than a historical evidence.Haedong kumdo is "another" thing which I don't like to talk about.

kumdo is korean claimed their own martial art.they said swordmanship has being their own culture since centuries agokumdo has a several rules difference from kendo..sou to omoimasu.. AFAIK
