Kum do literally means "the way of the sword." The present form of using a "juk do"(bamboo sword) and the "ho goo"(the protective gear) began around the 18th century. With the implementation of the "juk do" and the "ho goo", the art of Kum Do took a surprising change in its style. It allowed for more experimentation with minimum injuries, and the style became more effective by allowing stronger and deadlier blows without the extensive swing of the sword. The present form combines the inner strength, signified by a scream, "ki", the swing and striking of the sword, "kum", and the use of one's lower back and body, the "chae" was recently perfected. This is known as the "ki-kum-chae." In tournaments, one does not receive a point by only striking with the sword. The strike needs to be accompanied by all of the three components of the "ki-kum-chae."
