Yah i did this style whiles ago, Korean swordsmanship if i'm not mistaken. Really similar to Kendo with some slight differences. I'll post up more info when I can.

yes please tell us more :)
i saw that kunmudo have weyponless forms, it seems like taijiquan, do they have push hands too?
its seems done with music, is it more of a dance or meditative sword forms like taiji?

thanks

Hmm from your description I think it might be something else than Kumdo. I think what you saw was Hwarangdo. I did kumdo for a couple years and have not done empty hand forms. It's more like an "external" style, really similar to Kendo. I'm thinking it was Hwarangdo because it can be consider as both an external & internal art. They have forms that resemble taiji. You have any more info on where you saw this at??
