Yudo

although that may be true, I was "educated" by a couple of people (who didn't know I was a karate-ka) that Kumdo (Gumdo) & Yudo influenced Kendo & Judo respectively.

I replied, "Oh that's interesting" & they went on to explain how the Japanese stole these MA from Korea during the occupation & claimed it for themselves. The funny thing about that exchange was that these 2 guys weren't even Korean!



Personally, I have nothing against Koreans...I respect their history & how they've modernized, feel bad that their country is divided & really enjoy their food (Korean BBQ for Fathers' Day!).

I think that the more level-headed practitioners need to educate their "brothers in MA" as to the truth w/o feeling the need to distort historical fact.

YuDonno what your talking about man.

Interesting stuff. To bad theres not enough published stuff out there so we could realy debate this. Although there could be some stuff on taekwondo times.

In reality whether the koreans take martial arts from other countries and help innovate them into their own version ofthe original is something I don't have a problem with, however, I think that it is only fair to the japanese that the koreans should give them credit otherwise it's stealing, plagerism, and lying.

Specifically, what are you talking about? A blanket statement like that tells me you're don't have a clue.

Man-up & provide some specifics so we can have a discussion. Otherwise it degrades to...

Tek: "Do not, do not, do not infinity"

okay for the sake of peace I am going to completely ignore your last post.

The "YUDOnno what your talking about" was a joke. Unfortunetly the joke was waisted... Yudo was supposed to be meant as "you don't" it was supposed to be funny.

Usually the joke starts off with Judo. Guy A says "I know karate", Guy B says I know Judo. Guy A says "whats Judo?", guy B says "Judonn what judo is? well judonno nothing man".

Okay so it's not so funny when you read it, but when you say it out loud it's a bit funnier.
So anyway the Yudonno joke was based on the fact that the art is called YUDO. Okay but anyways you didin't get it.

I've searched the contra costa library, Cal state libraries and san francisco library to find something on YUDO. No library had any info on it. So as I stated earlier there isn't much written or published on judo. COnsidering I check the data base for all the state colleges in Californbia and the contra costa colleges plus the san francisco library it's safe to say that nt much is known about yudo in Cali.

Ofcourse I have yet to check the internet, I'm sure I can find stuff on there, but by now i'm tired.

...

Judo IS yudo.

it's just the korean way of pronouncing the original chinese characters.

i'm not sure about korean yudo associations' relations with japanese judo orgs...

I had the same problem mate. Even internet search yields little about Yudo. Which takes me back to my original question, is Yudo a part of Hapkido, more than an art in and of itself? Is it taught as part of Hapkido, rather than an stand alone art?

Here is the Wiki article that inspired my orginal query:

I thought Yudo was the little green guy in starwars?

Headkicker is right ofcourse Yudo is Judo but a more interesting question would is who invented BBQ.

and can you prove it and who cares.


There is alot of MA crap about the origins of simple things.

kick, punch, trip, grab, choke, can any system lay claim to these?

It was supposed to be a friendly joke. I had no idea of the lack of humor on this forum SHEESH!

Anyways I looked it up, I could find nothing on Yudo. So the statement is true...Yudonno nothing about Yudo lol.

However there is tons of stuff on Yoda....he's da man.
