No I have not. only Japanese sumo and Mogolian sumo (I know they have name for that, but I do not know). You guys should spread Samuri. Japanese Sumo is now well known to the world. We have American, Russian, European professional sumo wrestlers in Sumo today. Strongest one are Mongolians.

We have our own traditional wrestling and warriors. Each Korean dynasties, Koguryeo, Baekje and Silla had its own special army group. They were called 'Joyi, Ssulabi and Wharang'. I didn't mean that they called "Sumo" or "Samuri". Haven't you watched Korean wrestling?

[tokyocityrat]

that's good to know. Thanks

But, tell me why Korean did not have Samurai and sumo? Or do you have sumo today? BTW, Sumo wrestler say "hakkeyoi"...means all are ready. I donot know they say "Haiso"

Japanese call King or admiralbe people "Sama". Some Korean actors are called "Sama" by Japanese ladies. "Sama" was title of their forefather "Baekje emperor Myrung" . True Baekje royal family descendants come to Korea to visit their ancestors tomb in Gongju (Bear city/Bear is was a symbol of Baekje)

[Cheon1Son]

Samurai=Baekje Ssul-abi (here Abi means 'Aboji/father), Japanese wrestling = ancient Korean wrestling (the evidence is on Koguryeo tomb mural), Japanese wresters shout word "haiso! haiso!' to stir up the competitor. Japanese don't know the meaning of 'Haiso' but it is Busan dialect "try ! try!" Japanese recite Korean dialect(Busan language) when they practice shamanism.

No no. Japanese culture and Korean culture are differnet. Korean and Chinese cultures are belong to aisan continent group while Japanese are grouped separated...classification have been done by scholars, not me. We did not have Yanban, & Korean did not war loads, like samurai. And culture is too wide. It is bit too broad...if you think it is strongly rooted into Korea, please give examples.

[Cheon1Son]

now Japanese are mixtures of Koreans, Chinese, europeans but still there spirt and cultures are strongly rooted into Korea. Your King family never marries non-Baekje descendants. this is the truth about Japanese identity.

[Cheon1Son]

The documents didn't have our emperors sign and it has been proven to be illegal. the Japanese ruled Korean by arms. You may not a descendant of Baekje but they were Koreans who civilized the islands before you Japanese have identities as Japanese. it is you who should right history. hahaha like any other japanese your last word is 'don' read history book by koreans only'. Why? do you think they only invent history withouting reading ancient books?

[tokyocityrat]

Annexation started in 1904 and lasted 38?yrs. And it wasn't illega. Korean also accepted to be annexed to Japan. And in fact, Japan have not destroy Korean cultures. If they do, why they have it now? And Baekje isn't home to Japanese..how can it be? Please learn history in proper manner...it seems you are only reading history book written by Korean nationalists. Japan could make Korea "colony" but they didnot..can you imagin why?

[Cheon1Son]

annexation ?? did your Baekje descendant teachers teach you it was "annexation" not attack?
