Ssireum: Korean Wrestling

Ssireum is a traditional Korean sport. Among Korean folk games, Ssireum boasts the longest history. It is depicted in wall paintings in the royal tombs of the Goguryeo Kingdom (37 BC to 660 AD), showing that Ssireum dates back as early as the pre-Three Kingdom era. Ssireum symbolizes the national spirit of the Korean people. Ssireum is a contest of physical strength and technique in which two contestants compete in direct contact against each other. It is a form of wrestling found only in Korea.

Gentlemen, there is no need to argue.  Japanese are hated by all asians, enough said.

Strange!!!! Why so many Jap monkeys always swarm into videos about Korea?

Just mind their own monkey businesses like earthquakes, Tsunamis and radioactive contamination.

@BrettNASTYY As far as I know Korea was the bridge between Japan and China through which Japan received the chinese influence, but also korean culture influenced the japanese to an extent in the past. Now is Japan the one that influences Korea as you said.

[melonbarmonster]

@FIGHTFANNERD3 not really. most things even from China came via Korea in a Koreanized fashion. E.g., Zen Buddhism, Confucism, Court structure for Yamato Japan which was a literal copy of the Korean royal court, metallurgy, etc.. Sorry to burst your whapanese bubble Last Samurai.

1. Tokyo fashion center of world? My ass! XD

2. Japan is not more advanced than US or Korea. Japan just showcase their consumer technology more, just like South Korea. But that doesn't mean they are advanced than USA or Korea, dumbass. hahahaha

3. Look at J-POP and Korean wave in Japan, dumbass again. Do we have J-pop or Japanese cultural wave sweeping Korea?!? LOL

4. Like I said, Hwarang codes are much older than Bushido, have nothing to with superiority, dumbass!

@TheHaraboji

First off, Tokyo is one of the fashion centers of the world next to Paris. Japan has more advanced technology than the U.S. and Korea. The rest of the world is being influenced by Japan in those areas, including Korea. I have no idea why you would think Japan is being influenced by Korean fashion and technology..its unknown

Shinto couldn't be Korean, unless Koreans believed Japan was created by gods..

So what if Bushido isn't as old? it's far more superior than Hwarang codes.

LOL

@BrettNASTYY

No, Japan is still influenced today by Korea through the Korean wave with K-POP music, fashion, technology. BTW, there's no Anime in Korea. Shintoism was not even a prehistoric religion (there's no proof of that,), it's only started in the 2nd century BCE when Korean settlers went to Japan and spread some folk religion there. Bushido is not as old as Hwarang codes of ethnic. LOL

@melonbarmonster

Korea is influenced by Japan to this day. In technology, fashion, anime, food, etc.

Japanese philosophy derived from Bushido, which did NOT come from Korea. And the japanese believed in Shintoism for hundreds or maybe even thousands of years before Korea spread Buddhism to Japan. But Japan did not get it's spirit and mentality from Korea, otherwise Korea would be more well known.

Even if Korea spread alot to Japan what's your point? Honestly i don't see what your aiming at
