Hi, First of all, please forgive me if the following is inaccurate. All I had was oral sources and I've done no research to back this up. I once heard my pastor's comment about the impact of Japanese occupation on Korea and the entrance of Christianity. My pastor is Chinese, and he used to hung around with some Korean missionaries. He said Christianity had a relatively easier entry to Korea because the Japanese had already destroyed quite a lot of the Korean culture. Not a lot remained from the Korean traditional culture. This left many Koreans with the feeling empty, searching for a new thing to reestablish their identity. To many, Christianity then became the answer as this is not as "Japanese" as other things in their culture that was "Japanized". Can this "cultural destruction", if it existed, explain why there are no "corpses" of kumdo out there in Korea? Again, this is just an oral source, but I never got a chance to check it with any Korean acquaintances (heck, I think it's quite a sensitive topic for them?). Can anyone verify? Rgds, Leo >
