okay, I dont wanna hear some weird bs siding with either kumdo or kendo. They are the same thing. Same kata(besides bonguncompup), same everything else. The only difference is that some kumdo people like wearing that white and black hakama for some reason. They also yell different things. etc etc

now. Which of the two have more competitive tournaments? And can(for example) 3rd degree black belts in kendo go to both the tournaments? Which of the two do world kendo championship people look at the most? Do wkc people in the us look at kumdo at all?

please, i don't wanna hear the "kumdo has better sparring" or "kendo is cleaner" bs. Its really the individual and what he does.
