Are we sure about the writing? I know the hanja for hogu is 護具 and kind of would expect it to be the same in kanji.Kbarends 14:06, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Hogu is a Korean pronunciation of Bōgu. That's a local pronunciation or name. If you want to ask about something of kumdo, please move to kumdo article which is a better place. Applepeeler 21:01, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

The question is more: Do Japanese and Koreans use the same 'Chinese characters' for the bogu/hogu? (what I would expect) or are these different as well? Kbarends 08:00, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
