This could give Ubisoft ideas for an Assassin's Creed set in Joseon.
I would totally play that.
Would be way better than in Japan
for honour man. with koguryo, shilla, and baek-jae in their respective armors. i wanna see THAT.
those flower petal like skirt pieces open up during spin moves and you get to see that from top-down 3rd perspective. that would look dope.
I'd play a Screed where you got to meet Yi Sun Sin
omg please yes
Why so many Japanese and South east Asian criticize the Joseon swordmanship..
In this Video, it just focussed in Korean traditional sword arts.
I can't understand why so many Japanese in this video claimed that there are no Korean own traditional.
I studying east asian history in my university in Russia and I learned there are many beautiful tradition in Korea.
I wonder why Japanese claimed a story without a logical basis.
LET'S BE NICE GUYS
First of all, just read "The Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty (朝鮮王朝實録, 조선왕조실록)" or "Muyedobotongji (武芸図譜通志, 무예도보통지)" so as to examine the reality of Joseon's poor swordsmanship or something.
@@lupimali9504 bro why are u crying in comments?? Who cares about you and what ur saying 🤣🤣🤣???
@@3XODEgaming If you can disprove what I wrote, then you have only to provide some counter-evidence for that, right?
If you can't do that, then just zip up your mouth.
Understood, you Korean?
Gee, maybe it’s because Japan has a bunch nationalist pricks who literally rewrote historical events to make themselves either victims or blameless paragons. Every country tries to downplay and hide their crimes, but not on the same scale as Japan.
…Did I mention how they tried to fake historical records because they wanted justification to keep some of Korea’s islands after WWII? Land thieves.
ここで揶揄ってる人は日本人ではありません
日本人が英語を書けません 貴方は日本人を過大評価しすぎてます😂
Wanted to learn Korean swordsmanship myself seeing other people and masters being superbly skilled in it
Trust me man, its just japanese kendo legacy from Imperial Japan mixed with modern breakdancing. Not suitable for fighting at all.
@@nikeimizhongtomasch1880 ik lmao
You are misunderstanding. This is mixture of Chinese Martial Arts(Wushu) and Joseon Martial Arts.
Since The Legacy has been disconnected from age to ages, I figured out this organization are just showing public with Mixed Ones.
@@goyhlandstar they’re speaking Korean in the video. I’m Korean myself that’s why I know. Even if that’s the case wherever u heard it it’s false
@@prime4851 Really?? I think I must search for more than. Thanks for notifying.
If my memory serves me right. Arnold Schwarzenegger was trained in this art by a Korean swordmaster for his role in Conan the Barbarian. I recognize the stances and slashing style. It is very distinct in that it relies heavily on wide sweeping footwork for leverage and uses the pivoting leg to torque the hips for speed and power. But keeps the arm relaxed and extended without unecessarily bending the elbows. It looks like a hybrid of Japanese circular footwork combined with Chinese slashing techniques.
If you're right, I dont doubt it since this performance is based off of Korea's manual of weapon martial arts created after it barely survived the Imjin War. This manual was basically the result of combining the military/weapon martial arts of the countries around them along with their own, so I'm sure you'll see a mixture of Chinese and Japanese techniques as well. It especially absorbed a lot of japanese swordsmanship since a lot of Korea's swordsmanship was probably extinguished upon entering the Joseon period of long peace and transition from a militant culture during the Three Kingdoms/Goryeo period to a scholarly one of Joseon, not to mention its warfare was primarily reliant on archery during this time.
for the most part this is just forms to put on a show for tourists. but there are actual fighting techniques here. they are just blended together and watered down so it resembles more of a dance. korean swordsmanship is just as excellent as everyone elses.
lupi mali uh, no.
Only one of the sword styles in Muyedobotongji is learned/inspired from Japanese swordsmanship. (A style named 왜검, literally meaning "Japanese sword", written by a martial artist named 김체건).
Other styles like 本國劍 and 銳刀 are independent sword styles entirely distinct from Japanese swordsmanship.
> carry swords in unpractical ways
No, not at all. People carried/wore swords in similar manners across Qing China with their dao sabres and Meiji-era ~ WW2 Japanese Gunto.
Such suspension/belt systems for wearing swords has always been very practical; it enables the horse rider to wield a gun or a bow more comfortably as well as on ground. It's also incredibly comfortable for the swordsman/woman when just going about in their daily lives.
Tidon (the suspension system that is supposedly "impractical") also enables swordsman/woman to turn the sword around in a manner so that the hilt is at the front & keep in there (like how a tachi is worn), thus enabling quick sword drawing.
> 1 Korean
Again, two sword styles (本國劍 and 銳刀) are independent creations apart from Chinese or Japanese military arts/manuals.
The method of wielding polearms and long spears (along with dual sabres) are Chinese military arts in origin. 왜검 and it's two man set are Japanese originated/inspired. The rest aren't.
> stupid Korean
Starting off the argument with an insult, always a good strategy. What my ethnic background is unimportant here.
@@adenyang4398 Sometimes I wonder where all these "wannabe anti Korean historians" come from. Then again, there are always nationalists in these channels.
@@lupimali9504 Hey, I have seen so many comments putting down Korea in stuff like this that I a kinda tired of typing a reply over and over again and so will just copy & paste past points I had made in previous comments I have seen as a reply okay? I would say sorry but I kinda really am not.

Just because Korean history is less well known doesn't mean that they don't have their own traditional things. Yes, they could be similar to other Asian countries like Japan and China but have you ever searched in google images Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, and Korean weapons? They all have similarities but that doesn't mean that they are all the same. And just because the origin of certain traditional things they have are based on things they have found from other countries (aka. China or Japan) doesn't mean they hadn't incorporated certain aspects of it into their culture with some changes long ago. You saying that Korea is just copying things from other countries is like you saying barbecuing isn't part of American culture cus they got that idea from the Caribbean. Or how cowboys were an idea stolen by Americans from the Spanish? Or maybe how all the other countries stole the idea of cars from Europe? There are many more examples if you want to look. It seems to me that it simply is because of people like you, who either know more and/or like the traditions and cultures of other Asian countries more than others, jump in to defend those countries and villanize the other ones enough to try and justify your bias to yourself.

You do know that karate developed from a fighting style from China right?
> www.historyoffighting.com/karate.php
Also, you do know the when Japan took over Korea they did many things to enslave them right? Like banning Korean martial arts and only finding it acceptable when the citizens to learn their own martial arts, killing off Korean dog species, forcing the male population to work and/or fight for them, and even kidnapping and raping females as young as 13. So yeah, it really wouldn't be a surprise that there would be "underground" martial arts in Korea.

As for the Chinese influence, why are you only angry at Korea for taking that influence into their traditions and culture? Japan did it too, in fact, their writing system came from China. China was like the central powerhouse of Asia, of course, their influence would spread to other countries. Another thing, don't act as if it is only Korea taking influence from Japan. Korea is older than Japan and was a cultural bridge between China and Japan. Korea would adapt and transform Chinese traditions before passing them on to the Japanese. Another thing, during the Japanese invasion in Korea they did steal things, like Korean artisans to introduce their skills to Japan.

Also, you make it as if anything that was inspired by anything from another country is copying or stealing even if it was altered and/or integrated into a culture. As well as make it sound as if cultures wouldn't adapt or change in any way when events like a country invading another one occur.

Still, The Kingdom opened my eyes to this martial art. :)
Apart from these videos I now have almost 1000 photos of Korea - mainly its history and culture - on my website, ozoutback.com.au/Korea/
I notice the sword is there difference between the japanese katana and the korean sword?
Korean swords are called "Hwan-do". It means a curved sword with one edge. They are slightly straight and short than katanas. The swordplays are different, too. The Korean is a mixture of piercing and slashing while the Japanese based on slashing.
Hi Ludo. do you study gyung-dang ?
No, sorry, I don't even know what that is! Only visited and took photos and videos.

August Hayek if i am not wrong the hangul alphabet was created at the times of Sejong which was much before the 1950
It's tricky more then Taekwondo Finale belt lol
@@junichiroyamashita King Sejong is based. He created Hangul for the lower class and the Confucianist got all upset about it.
just as a sidenote: they wouldn't just fight like this, on the battlefield. See those racks of other weapons? They made units comprising of several soldiers with different weapons. Think one guy with a sword dancing at you is laughable? Imagine two guys holding you at bay with spears, and the dancing guy is now charging at you with his sword, while you're trying not to get stabbed but the others. I'm guessing you won't be "just for show lol" then.
This is a military style. Wars aren't fought by one on one duels.
these are DEMOS from the individual styles.
But... but... there was no war in Korea. They surrendered every time, as soon as they had a change.
They even need Ming Dynasty to help them again 1 group of Japanese pirate. :<
And i have never know any military style practice those flashy dancing either, except Capoeira. But in Capoeira case, they danced because they didn't want the slave master find out that they are practicing fighting so they using the "dance" as a cover for their practicing, not because they actually dance during the fight.
@@hoanglinhle4468 true. Them being confined to that tiny peninsula is a good proof of their historic fighting skills.
@@hoanglinhle4468 I understand your point of view, but there were major conflicts with Korean people's with other nations.
There has been war ever since Korea was originally three kingdoms. Goguryeo was one of them which actually spread quite far into Manchuria, and successfully defended themselves against a major offensive from the Tang dynasty, but of course, that's Goguryeo, not the main Joseon which we are talking about, but Joseon had its fair share of fighting itself.
There were a few negotiations between Joseon and Japan, and then there was the Imjin War which spanned for about six years in around 1590, which Joseon and Japan fought each other, but in the end, Japan retreated back to their land due to the lack of progress and the death of Hideyoshi. There was also the first and second Manchu invasion as well, but the aftermath concluded with Manchuria not being able to annex Joseon.
I get your assumption though that Joseon barely ever fought because it is true, they are not a very imperialistic country. Thanks for the information about Capoeira though, that's actually really interesting 👍
@@nikeimizhongtomasch1880 Your assumption is understandable since I thought the same thing and questioned my father about why that was so.
Historically, "Korea", was a rather big country, but that was before when Joseon was formed, and when there were only three kingdoms. Goguryeo was the biggest which actually spread quite far into Manchuria, and also successfully defended itself from the Tang dynasty. Then there were some negotiations between one of the smaller kingdoms and another Chinese dynasty, some political things, and eventually, the adjacent kingdom invaded Goguryeo and won.
After that they won against the Japanese in the Imjin War after six years of fighting, but was invaded by the Manchus afterwards and failed, but was failed to be annexed.
Now, this is the reason why I suppose for Korea's very small territory. War was apparently looked down on, and because of so some objectives to invade Manchuria were scrapped, and following that were about 200 years of peace, where Joseon gradually dismantled their military due to the lack of foreign threats, and political influences. Joseon could've been a successful imperialistic country, but because of these factors, they did not. They then continued to try to isolate them selves from the world, while Japan strived to interact with the world and become modernized as the West, Joseon wanted no part and isolated themselves. Therefore once Japan started exercising influence on Joseon, and eventually simply annexed it without much resistance, Joseon's government couldn't do anything but call for help from the Chinese. Once more though, I understand your assumption of why Korea is small
don't you know about myeongrang war which was korean and japanese war which korean won with only 12 navy ships japan had more than 300 navy ship
I practice Japanese swordsmanship in my spare time, but the Koreans technique is flawless. 😃🇰🇷
But for this- your same- reply, the OP was merely complimenting the swordsmanship displayed in this video. He wasn't even making any 'political' statement regarding what the history of ''traditional (Korean) sword martial arts' (as you say) is, i.e. in Korea, compared to in Japan, etc. and you Still had to repeat your same 'copy/paste' 'Korea- hating' comment here to this OP's comment :)
You're right, we did use chinese characters as an early form of writing but most koreans (not all) switched to hangul during the 1400's. I say not all because some of the aristocrats that hagul is too easy
But you're also forgetting the fact that japan had also used chinese. The japanese had also used chinese, but the rich had used chinese, letting the women and lower class use chinese. in japanese there are still chinese characters that they just renamed kanji and still use it today, a much less efficient writing system with all that hiragana katakana stuff
you're smart for questioning the authenticity of the book because it's wrritten in hangul. But also know that hangul was in fact created in 1446, so it written in hangul is a small chance. Only a small chance since hangul wasn't commonly used until the 1500's. But of course, when korea had presented the books, it's obvious that they should translate it into hangul since by that time, no one would use hanja(chinese characters). Why would you present a historical book without translating it first? that would be like giving a high schooler in the us the magna carta in old english and expecting it to get an a on a test about it.
.did i stutter? i said that they translated the book
you still didn't answer my question..
These show described in Martial Art book of the Joseon dynasty.
0:23 / these short sword name's "Huando"... basically, they almost used by these sword during a battle.
In 1592, the Joseon dynastys had invasion from japan army, they overrun to village and capital of the Joseon. but war's maintain and endless, so many japan army became capture or surrendered in battle of the Joseon army, and joined to army reform in the Joseon. therefore long sword's spread to Joseon army, because they got a impression as deeply about the long-sword of nodachi-samurai during that war.
After, they actived in fight with rebel army at joseon civil war (李适-亂 1624 year) and even fighted with Manzu Barbarian army (丁卯胡亂 1627 year).
Especially, these action gave a psychological fear to enemy, if when they swishing the long sword and cut-down on head or body.
The book is Chinese in origin though. Ming forces saved Korea, it was even Admited by Joseon. The Japanese have easily reached the northern part of North Korea and even battled some Jurchens.

I didn't know there are korean historical dramas on Netflix, which ones would you recommend?
LEONARDO ARRIGHI My Country: The New Age. Every episode is an emotional rollercoaster. There’s also Live up to Your Name. The first episode was a bit slow but it gets really good. I also recommend Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung :)
@@malley4934 thank you very much🙏
After finishing the 1st season of Vagabond, I'll watch them! Right now I saw some online reviews of My Country, it seems to be really nice!
@@leonardoarrighi5898 you should watch Kingdom it is a Korean period piece set to be filmed in the Joseon Dynasty with a pop culture twist to it i.e. zombies. The writer said she was reading about the Josseon Dynasty and found a number of 'unexpected deaths' and linked them to zombies. It's really good. Would recommend 10/10.
Most of Korean dramas are history fiction though.
Don't see the double sword as often ....so it's exciting to watch this ... while I learn

Yep, Japanese long swords were pretty brutal.

@Stephen Kim man, study some history, Korea can't develop anything original, they can just change the colors and shape a little bit, of Japanese and Chinese things.
@Stephen Kim I don't care about Korea, its a tiny country with butthurt people. I just comment on fake videos, especially historic ones. I don't care about any other things Korea does.
@@wudangmasterlee8123 wait then why are you here and watching this video if you don't care about Korea?
awesome!
Was there a bit of flash added to it? Yeah maybe. But as a Chinese who been to plenty of kung fu tournaments dominated by even more flashy wushu forms, this is pretty refreshing. At least they are striking actual targets in other clips and preserving a semblance of General Qi Ji-guang’s teachings and weaponry.
Modern kungfu is fake. It was designed around Peking opera not for fighting. Say thank you to CCP.

what is that long sword called..
i'm reminded of persia for some reason
i can recall some connections there
Just came to find out the comparisons of how the sword sheath is carried blade up (like the Japanese style) or blade downward??
I noticed they weren’t all the same at times. (Yes I know it’s an entertainment performance show for tourists or whoever)
I know a little about it, and as far as I'm aware, the sheath is pointed the same as Japanese. It's just that, sometimes they turn it over for some reasons. The first guy in the video, unsheaths cutting edge down, but sheaths cutting face up. I saw it in another korean video, there was some reason for it, but I forget which one. Probably ease, or safety, or perhaps just due to which way the sword ends up facing at that time.
2:03 what is the name of the sephiroth sword????? it looks like the long sword in monster hunter
You are all very skilled!! Thank you for sharing!!
One should avoid broad, sweeping generalizations, especially if that involves directing malice to others.
And if you actually paid attention to the overall footwork and movements in the forms they are demonstrating, you would clearly be able to see that they are not mimicking Japanese swordsmanship. They clearly move with different principles and combat philosophies in mind. And what do you mean by "long sword"?
Historically there was no long sword like Japanese sword in Korean culture. They had a short sword like 35cm at most in blade size.
Of course he is performing as an actor for movie. TaeKondo is the same. Taekwondo is a fake martial-arts mimiking action movie. That's why there is no Taekondo athlete in MMA (UFC) at all. It's just fake one like dance. Everything is fake when it comes to Korean culture and history.
And, you said "Don't generalize". You are wrong. Koreans are homogeneous. Almost all Koreans are the same. So you can generalize them unlike other people.

The first 4 pictures shows an old Korean sabre that is around 45.5 inches in total length. Considering that Korean sabres tend to have shorter hilts than Katanas (5~10 inches, opposed to 11 inches of most Tsukas) to encourage increased usage of single-handed techniques, the blade would be at minimum 33+ inches. All the other numerous excavated Korean sabres shown in the page also show that long swords existed in Korea - clearly meant for close combat and martial purposes.
It's likely true that the early Chosun dynasty sabres were very short, due to them being in a relatively peaceful state. That changed entirely with the Japanese Invasion and the Korean military actually having to engage in melee combat. Swords need sufficient length and stopping power, especially if somebody wants to defend himself using a sword against heavy polearms - which were in vogue in military clashes.

Aden YANG. Everything you showed is typical fake swords. Just like TaeKondo, which is 100% fake martial-art, Koreans are now eager to spread false history and culture of Japanese sword.We have tons of evidences to prove that.First of all, if you Koreans insist that there was a long sword in Korean culture, then what's the name of the brand? And where does the company still producing the sword today in Korea? None! See? Lie is lie. You can't push 100% fake story. Now, let's take a look at how Koreans people looked like in the old days.ccce.web.fc2.com/si/ttsusin.htmlYou can scroll down to the 2nd picture. Those are Koreans visiting EDO (Tokyo) castle. This picture was drawn around 1800.You can see Samurai are carrying swords whereas Koreans are carrying archeries. No Korean carried a sword because there was no sword culture in Korea at all.And Koreans were rated low class people, so they couldn't enter the castle from the front gate so the picture is dipicting the scene Koreans are entering from the back gate.Every time Koreans try to spread fake sword culture, we bring out the evidence from the past.We also have pictures of Koreans officials. And none of them have a long sword. Do you want to see? Hehe.
Actual officials of Koreans. No of them wear swords.lastsword.up.seesaa.net/image/mutiuti1.jpg

K-Drama arts.
Their Battlestyle is great for mobbing, wide, round, sweeping attacks. Large AOE. The Japanese Battlestyle on the otherhand, would be great for 1 vs 1 pvp or solo bossfights. With their quick and nimble strikes.
such a showy and wasteful move as this makes sense only in these mere performance for entertaining tourists, or else, sword-fighting scene of some wuxia movies.
Joseon preferred artillery, bow, arrow, and rocket arrow over sword, so it seems that one-on-one combat methods did not develop like Japan. But I'm interested in Korean swordsmanship. It is very beautiful. Especially when they rotate, the clothes are also very beautiful. I agree with you. And it's a very beautiful sword art.
You see it right sir. Japanese swordmanship is mainly focused on duel (as large-scale battle is mostly dealt by a massed Ashigaru formation), and Korean swordmanship is focused on the massed, chaotic close-quarter combat if every other long-ranged means fail.

These guys are awesome!! I love this video!! Thanks for sharing.
Well, so Koreans a long time ago were pretty much shit in war and stuff because Confucian ideas made war really unpopular. So when They were invaded by Japan and the Mongols, they had to have weapons and stuff. So what do they do? They see China and basically copy off the weapons and the fighting styles by sending people to view the army. So Korean weapons were basically Chinese weapons. The Chinese weapons as you probably know varied a lot, including spears, swords, etc. On particular weapon was the Dandao, which looks like sa very long version of a katana. So the long swords you see there were copied off of the dandao
To Smuel Yeom. You are 100% wrong. Koreans didn't have any long sword in history. What they had was archery. In Japanese old paints (documents), Korean people visited Edo (Tokyo) castle was depicted. All Koreans were carrying archeries but not sword. Sword has no relation to Korean culture at all. There was no head to head fighting style in Korean culture but shooting arrows from a long distance. So there was no martial arts in Korean culture and history. China and Japan have martial-arts but only Korea has no martial-arts. So you always have to seperate Korea from the rest of all Asia. Korea didn't have much of culture.

To Samuel Yeom. If there was a long sword culture in Korea, then they have to have the heritage of old swords as records but there is none. Not even one exists.

Most of wellknown Korean martial arts is made after japanese martial arts after ww2 except korean bows and wrestling.
Teakwondo is originated in shotokan karate. All of founder of teakwondo os karate student.
Hapkido is mix of aiki jujutsu ,judo and teakwondo kick( shotokan karate kick).
There is no historical records on the swordsmanship of Balhae kingdom. Haedong Gumdo’s origin is 1987 made from kenjutsu
and hawarangdo has no any real record as martial arts.
Tekkyon is just foot stamping game.
Kenjitsu and jujutsu is originated in japan. Karate is originated in okinawa and its rooted in china.

Karate is basically a martial art that does not use kicks.
Watch an old karate video at least once.
The high kick in karate is taken from savate.

Breaking News: China Claims Korean Sword Art as Its Own
Joseon Wang-jo Sillok
(朝鮮王朝實録, 조선왕조실록)" says as follows: "Swordsmanship can not be learned so easily, but it is a good thing that the sword arts will be transmitted to our country by learning it from the soldiers of auxiliary troops of Ming." (June 11, 1480)
In fact, "Muyedobotongji (武芸図譜通志, 무예도보통지)" says,
我國練兵之制三軍練于郊，衛士練于禁苑，其禁苑練兵盛自 光廟朝，然止弓矢一技而已，如槍劍法技，既未之聞焉，宣廟既平倭寇，購得戚繼光紀效新書遣訓局郎韓嶠遍質東來將士，就其棍棒等六技作為圖譜.
우리나라 군대 훈련 제도는 삼군(三軍)은 교외에서, 위사(衛士)는 금원(禁苑)에서 훈련을 받도록 되어 있는데, 금원에서의 훈련은 광묘(光廟) 때부터 성행했다. 그러나 훈련이라는 게 활 쏘는 것 한 가지뿐 기타 창이나 칼 다루는 방법 같은 것은 없었다.
선묘(宣廟)께서 왜구를 평정하고 나서 척계광(戚繼光)이 쓴 《기효신서》를 구매하고 훈국(訓局)의 낭관 한교(韓嶠)를 보내 우리나라에 온 중국 장사(將士)들을 두루 찾아다니면서 곤봉(棍棒) 등 여섯 가지 기예 다루는 방법을 알아 오게 하여 그것을 《도보(圖譜)》로 만드셨다.
(In the military training system of our country, the three troops (三軍) are scheduled to do their exercise in the suburbs, while the royal guards in Jin-wan (禁苑, lit. 'the forbidden gardens').
The latter, among others, had been frequently done since the period of Gwanghae-gun's rein.
However, no other military exercises than shooting arrows were done.
We did not have any military exercises to practice the skill of swords, spears, or other weapons.
King Seonjo (宣祖, 선조) dispatched Han-gyo(韓嶠, 한교) for the renowned Chinese military manual
"Jin Xiao Shin Shu (紀効新書)" shortly after the king suppressed Waegu (倭冠, lit.'Japanese pirates').
After that, the king ordered him to learn Chinese martial arts.
Consequently, Han-gyo mastered 6 kinds of martial arts including polearm-fighting
from various Chinese military officers who stayed there at the time.
Thus, this illustrated manual (i.e."Muyedobotongji") was compiled.)

・"Considering that our land is unevenly located in the sea,
it is natural that only bows and arrows have still remained in our country since ancient times.
Although our troops are provided with both swords and spears now, we do not have any methodology to learn how to use those.
Cavalrymen on horseback hold spears in their hands in arena, but (they are unable to use them because) any military methods to use those spears have not been succeeded.
This is the reason why these weapons had been abandoned long time ago. ...
All this happened because any military exercises for using swords and spears have not been passed down in our country."(惟我 国家偏處，海外從古所傳只有弓矢一技，至於劒槍，則徒有其器，顧無習用之法，馬上一槍雖用於試場, 而其法亦未詳備．故劒槍之 棄器久矣.･･･ 皆由於習法之不傳故也)

It would be much more helpful to know what specific styles or schools of Swordsmanship are being shown. I can tell this is NOT Gumdo as that is more sport oriented like Japanese Kendo. What I do see is a lot of Haidong Gumdo, which is battlefield oriented in the same vein as Japanese Kenjitsu is. However, there are portions that I am not familiar with here. If anyone can clarify it would be appreciated.
Well back during the days of Joseon. The style of sword that the Joseon soldier had wasn't what we see in this video, as they mainly used broadsword as far back during the days of Gojoseon. The Japanese katana was first introduced during the warring period between the three Korean kingdom via Japanese Waku Pirate, however the Japanese katana wasn't copied after the imjin war..when there are thousands of katana from the dead Japanese soldiers.
@@lupimali9504 That is true, however, Korea made their own fighting style in response to foreign invaders coming from the North as it is the only possible land route to Korea. But, Korea did develop their own naval cannon in contrast to the Military in China and Japan, thus giving them a more modern navy than the two warring country.
@@lupimali9504 I wouldn't say they didn't have any "swordsmanship". They did, but generally they weren't in a form of schools. Koreans didn't write or depict their martial arts. So when scholars say or write "Koreans did not have swordsmanship (also mentioned in the Muyedobotongji) they mean is they don't have formal schools or any martial arts recorded in books. Hence Muyeshinbo and later Muyedobotongji became among the firsts of Korean martial arts to have actual schools and books of techniques to pass on in the 16-17th centuries (similar-ish time as HEMA). Swordsmanship prior to all of this was master to student based like any other country, except no books. Especially so in the Joseon Dynasty where military "arts" declined and recreational arts exploded.
@@lupimali9504 Yup I have read it and I have the translated books of Muyedobotongji and Muyejebo. However, you just defeated your credibility by using a conspiracy site Ninja Fraud. I've also noticed you've picked out some information to create a selection bias of information. The author is semi well known in Asian academic circles as a youtuber and blogger Japanese nationalist. So "something seems to feed your vanity. As Koreans have had very few martial arts of your very own, you have thus far managed to find something which can be the boast of you. Occasionally, you went so far as to make up some "origin."
It's not something to feed a person's vanity, what you are doing is insulting and demeaning another culture.
Historical European Martial Arts have many cultures using similar or adopting techniques or weapons from each other particularly from Spain, Germany, and Italy among few. However the Japanese are always quick to demean other cultures for their "inferiority and jealousy of Japanese swordsmanship". What's wrong with adopting? The muyedobotongji clearly calls it a Japanese sword. The Koreans saw the effectiveness in Imjin War so they picked it up. The Koreans realized the need to change their military. And hence they've adopted Chinese and Japanese martial systems combined with a couple of their own. Nobody is denying that? Why single out the Bonguk Geom? Even the origins of a katana is just as dubious? Nobody in HEMA circles knows the origin of a longsword.
"something seems to feed your vanity. As Koreans have had very few martial arts of your very own, you have thus far managed to find something which can be the boast of you. Occasionally, you went so far as to make up some "origin."
- That's classic Japanese over the top nationalistic bias. Bashing Koreans, when they themselves don't have a clear origin story of their own martial systems. But nobody focuses there and tosses the conspiracy spotlight at Korea.
If you haven't noticed by now, I'm an American so hurling Korean insults are pointless.
FYI, even Koreans know that Haidong Gumdo is fraudulent hence it's dying in Korea. Also nobody claims that Taekwondo is an ancient Korean martial art. You have a long way to go for research. Maybe look in sources other than conspiracy blogs. There are numerous professors and researchers that have REAL books.

I wonder did japan get the katana design from korea or the other way around?
Some might had been brought to Japan VIA the Korean Peninsula from imperial China. However, more likely Japan directly brought a tribute, or traded with each Chinese dynasty. Just take a look at the sea route of a Japanese envoy to Sui/Tang dynasty, for instance.

The sword of Korea was influenced by Mongolia. Until the Three Kingdoms Period and the early Goryeo Period, a straight sword called "Hwandudae" was used or a regular straight sword was used, and the historical document of "King Chungnyeol" in the 1277s, when Mongol influence was strong, states that it was called "Goryeosa." 'Hwando' is a Korean-style sword now. There are many differences between Hwando and a catana, which does not have a unique 'yokote' and is shorter and lighter in length. The tip of the sword also curves more naturally. In addition, the method of fixing the sword is called 'tiedonggi', which is also called 'pado' and 'yodo' because it is worn on the waist using ring and straps. It has the advantage of being able to rotate 360 degrees because it is fixed using a string, and it is convenient because it is light and short even if you wear it. Of course, there is a disadvantage of using both hands to pull out the sword, but it was not such a big disadvantage in ancient Korea, where people rode horses and shot arrows. Rather, the light and short one was easy to carry around. It was fixed using a band-aid, so it was very easy to ride a horse, and it was convenient to sit down and get up.
In addition, it is very common for Hwando to have a pentagonal shape on its cross section. Triangular and hexagonal shapes also exist, but they are not commonly used.
In addition, threads were hung from the handle of the sword, and gold was embossed from the blade.
Since Japan and Korea are close together, it is assumed that they exchanged a lot with each other. But I don't know whether Japan influenced Korea or Korea influenced Japan. However, I know that Korea was also influenced by Mongolia. Maybe Japan is like that, too.
Eh. They influenced each other constantly back and forth. The single edged blade with curve no curve existed in China, Korea Japan but after Japanese invasion the single blade definitely became more popular but not the same curve and thickness.
@ChromeMan04 no Japanese swords are not based on Jomom sworda. Thats the stupidest thing Ive heard. Japan learned balcksmithing from Korean artisans and their most direct influence was feom China and Korea.

Just read the description written by Hendrick Hamel in the following site:
www.hendrick-hamel.henny-savenije.pe.kr/holland12.htm
・Indeed, "The Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty (朝鮮王朝實録, 조선왕조실록)" says as follows:
"Military orders of our country is not very strict and easily violated,
so our soldiers have fled at their own before they fight with their enemy face-to-face.
Therefore, it is natural that sword skills should have very little to do with
any military strategies of our troops." (September 29, 1628)
・Incidentally, Claude-Charles Dallet maintains that "Korean army is extremely weak on the whole.
They will never think of anything but run away from the battle field
throwing their weapons to the ground under a risky situation." (The History of the Church of Korea (or "Histoire de l'Église de Corée"), p.269)
・Similarly, "A Note of Caution about Korean Soldiers"
(issued by Head Quarter of the Japanese Korean Army, 1904-1945) says,
"Koreans have a bad habit to cry aloud like "Aigo (아이고)" under a risky situation
casting their guns aside. Therefore, one Korean soldier always needs to be accompanied by two Japanese soldiers in action."
・Matthew B. Ridgway, too, argues in his book ("The Korean War") that "The US Army had to be always concerned about the South Korean troops. It is just because the Korean soldiers had easily run away whenever the Chinese army advanced to make an attack on them."
Thus, the Koreans are really cowardly though they are so arrogant and so haughty in peacetime.

The 3rd sword technique is Japanese technique
Korean emperor is correct. Traditional Korea sword was shorter than Japanese. Korean learned hard way short sword is at disadvantage during Japanese invasion in mid 1500. Korean carried shorter sword beause Korean preferred bow and arrow, and shorter sword is more useful and convenient on horseback. But during the Japanese invasion, the muskets that Japanese had were more effective over bows, rendering Korean cavalry obsolete and "Katana" better than the shorter sword Korean carried. Probably the one Korean option again Katana was two swords technique ( another option could be carrying shief but against well armoured opponent it is better use two offensive/defensive weapon than one offensive and a defensive weapons) but this technique much harder to the retraining, requiring additional training..while Katana carrying Japaneses already had years of combat training and readiness during decades of war of it unification war that immediately preceded it's invasion of korea

why does the koreans use the japanese katana?well it looks like a katana
Um, it looks like a Japanese Katana, but it's not Katana. It is called the Hwando. Hwando has been used since the Goryeo Dynasty. In the 1200s, a historical book called "Goryeosa" states that King Chungnyeol, the king of Goryeo, ordered the creation of Hwando. It was made under the influence of the Mongolian sword. It's similar to Japanese sword, but it's not Japanese sword. Perhaps the reason why you think of Japan while looking at Hwando is because Japan is more famous than Hwando.
To tell you the difference between Hwando and Japan, Hwando does not have a "yokote," a major feature of Japanese swords. Because it has a different production method from Japan.
It is also shorter and lighter than Japan because Korea has preferred bows and arrows to swords since ancient times. According to actual records, soldiers in the Joseon Dynasty wore armor, wore two gakgungs (bow), had about 20 arrows, and Hwando. Hwando was shorter and lighter because it had to be light to carry and not disturb when using bows and arrows.
In addition, pentagons are most commonly found on cross sections of it, while cross sections of the Katana represent hexagons. This is called Bae Hyung-do. Of course, it are often found with triangular and hexagonal sections, but they are not commonly used. When Joseon people accidentally obtained Japanese one, it is said that the blades were sharpened into pentagons.(성호사설)
In addition, the exchange rate is different from that of Japan. The method of fixing Hwando is called 'tidon maegi'. The roundabout has metal rings or straps, which are used to secure to the waistline. When the sword is fixed using a "bandon-maegi," the handle of the sword faces the back and the sword's grip faces forward, which is convenient for sitting or walking.

隋書 東夷伝 第81巻列伝46 (the book of sui, vol. 81, liezhuan 46) says,

"baekje together with shilla admired WA 倭 as a great nation with a plenty of things rare and precious.
therefore, they would often send their envoys to WA respectively."
if japan had belonged to baekje, then why did the last king of baekje, king giji (義慈王), made prince buyeo pung (扶余豊璋) and king zenko（善光王) stay in japan as their "hostages" needless to say, baekje was desperate to require military assist of japan.
further, not only baekje, but also shilla had been subjugated to WA.
"the portraits of periodical offering (梁職貢図)" found in 2011 says like this:
斯羅國，本東夷辰韓之小國也. 魏時曰新羅，宋時曰斯羅，其實一也. 或屬韓或屬倭，國王不能自通使聘.
"salo/shila (斯羅) was originally a tiny state located in jinhan (辰韓, 진한), dongyi (東夷).
this state was called shilla during the time of Wei (魏), or called salo in the reign of the song dynasty (宋朝). these two states were identical.
king of this state could not dispatch his envoys to anywhere at his own will.
it is because this state belonged to Han (韓) in one period, but was subordinate to WA in another."
It seems to me that the style here is somewhere between that typical of China and that typical of Japan. Very interesting.

This is not really the case with swordsmen, we are a humble lot and love to learn new things. It is very easy to see this through his philosophy, have you read it before?
I am afraid I haven't

god all these stupid comments OFC this is overexaggerated its a PERFORMANCE for tourists
wuhu ☺😀😊🐹🐘
That was impractical to say the least.
@Harry Fishnuts No I see where he is coming from. Particularly with the shorter swords, the martial artists spin a lot. I'd say the spinning is ok when dual wielding Ssang geom and the Ssansoodo (nodachi) since they have the length or enough protection to get away from spinning. However with swords as short as katanas, I have a hard time imagining being able to protect yourself spinning away or to your opponents. If there is one thing I learned from HEMA spinning is dangerous unless your weapon is long (polearms/greatsword).
@Harry Fishnuts Tool? Then offer some insight instead of whining. But you cant because you don't know anything about swordsmanship. I run my own club. And I'm not rubbing my ego on to anyone. Do you run your own club?
Impractocal? I don't think u Kno swords...sure there were a few flourishes for entertaing purpose...but I did saw legit moves 98 %...I think we often imagine a duel when it come to sword ship...unsteady or a mass chaotics hand to hand "combat." No train fundamentals; use whatever exigent to survive in a hell of battle. So time for measures footateps and beautiful cut...no need for a clean cut n kill in a battle, do enough to slow or immobilize. Foes will bleed or shock to death.
@Harry Fishnuts He's a tool when you're the one flinging insults at people for having a different opinion?
I'll offer some "insight", although I'd call it "common sense". OF COURSE this is played up. In battle you're not gonna be spinning all the time and throwing your sword in the air to catch it. That should be obvious to anyone watching. This is a show, to illustrate their skill level. It shows how well they know their weapons and how trained they are physically. It's also more beautiful to look at than regular fighting moves. So it spreads the korean arts among the tourist. I can't believe I have to explain these concepts to a bunch of 10 year olds..
If a guy can do all this with his sword, only a fool would challenge him in battle.
korean warrios with japanese sword....
I want to see a spare match between Japanese swordsmanship vs Korean Swordsmanship
It already happened in the Imjin war. well 100,000 Japanese casualities....and over 1,000,000 Korean ones XD

*2. As for swordsmanship:*
A Korean military officer Kim Che-gong (金体乾) frequented the Japan House (倭館) for the purpose of acquiring Japanese sword arts, and attended the Joseon missions to Japan (in 1682) in order to master various sorts of the Japanese authentic swordsmanship such as 土由流, 運光流, 千柳流 or 柳彼流.
Chapter of "The Japanese Sword Arts (倭劍譜)" along with "The Training Exercises for Actual Fighting (対戦譜)"
included in both "Muyesinbo (武藝新譜,)" and "Muyedobotongji" is said to be chiefly based on his experience at the time.
Incidentally, Baek Dongsu is reported to have developed a passion for martial arts
in his early days. It is recorded that Baek Dongsu earnestly learned sword arts under Kim Kwang-taik (金光澤), whose father was this Kim Che-gong.
Thus, Baek Dongsu owed a lot to both Chinese military manual under the strong influence of Japanese sword arts, and Japanese swordsmanship itself, directly or indirectly.
In a word, thanks to "the Chinese training methodology together with Japanese sword arts," he could somehow earn his place in history.
Didn't the Korean army get badly hammered by the forces of Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the late 16th century? As I recall my history lessons, the Korean warriors didn't fare too well against the spears, swords and muskets of the Japanese samurai. The reason why the Japanese didn't conquer the whole of the Joseon kingdom was because the koreans were far superior at sea than the Japanese.
Badly hammered is an understatement...it was pure rape mate.
Yes, I agree you. But Chosun was very brutal dynasty, I am a Korean but I don't like Chosun much.
the japanese were supreior on land and koreans were supireor at sea ok?
Imjin war was pretty complex. On the Korean side, there was a lot of petty infighting and politicking and ineptitude in the royal court and military that led to huge failures on land. The losses on land had more to do with the ineptitude of the higher ups. On the sea, general Lee Sun Shin completed dominated even despite being arrested by his political enemies during the war.
Well, I admit that Japan is better at swordsmanship than Korea, but I don't know what that has to do with this video. Isn't the theme of this video a confrontation between traditional Japanese swordsmanship and traditional Korean swordsmanship? And the reason Japan prevailed in the Imjin War was not because of their swordsmanship, but because of their new weapon, the rifle. Later, Korea cultivated a rifle unit in regret of the Imjin War, but there was no war in Korea for about 300 years.Returning to the story of the rifle (except for the invasion of China), the powerful troops in the north returned to combat the Japanese, but they were defeated by the new weapon, the rifle, even though they were always fought against the horsemen in the north. All of these are due to guns. From a historical point of view. In the maritime battle, where the actual rifle was not available, the Korean army was very dominant (Korean hero Admiral Yi Sun-shin noticed the limitations of the rifle and did not engage in close combat). In the end, the Japanese military was hit hard.(The Battle of Myeongnyang, where 12 Korean ships and 133 Japanese ships fought and the Korean army won, is famous.)
Miao Dao?
Essentially, yes. Ssangsoodo and Miao Dao are pretty much the same weapons.

This is not a re-enactment. This is a Koreation used to fascinate the tourists.
@Nob the Knave There moves are based on 무예도보통지 www.unesco.org/new/en/communication-and-information/memory-of-the-world/register/full-list-of-registered-heritage/registered-heritage-page-2/comprehensive-illustrated-manual-of-martial-arts/, Unesco world heritage made in Joseon dynasty.
kenjutsu or this, which is better?
hema
There's no "better" or "best" or "GOAT" martial art. If you have to ask, you're missing the point.
It's down to the skill of the person to win over another person.
Well historically during Imjin wars
1 samurai could eat 5 of the guys shown in this video. So take a guess.
