Demonstration of swordsmanship and fighting using a kind of flail, “decapitating” straw figures: traditional martial arts in costumes dating back to the Joseon dynasty at Hwaseong Haenggung, King Jeongjo's palace in Suwon, south of Seoul, dating from the late 1790s.

Very good show of Joseon weaponry and techniques!
I REALLY think there should be an Assassin's Creed set in Joseon. Even though other Asian countries are potential good ideas, Korea is lacking attention.
Korea didn't have traditional martial arts except for wrestling and archery. The arts that you see here are copies from Chinese manuscript called (Muye Tobo Tong Ji) developed in the 18th century.

I don't understand why comments such as Korea imitated China's or Japan's. They seem to be deliberately harassing and mocking Korea. There is a long comment that seems to be an exact basis, which is also false and they are writing and posting long sentences as if distorted history were real history. It is ridiculous as a person who learned history, especially as a person who learned Korean history deeply. Korea has its own sword art. If the Chinese one was introduced to Korea, Korea does not call it a Korean tradition, but correctly labels it originated from China. This is because there is another traditional Korean sword art.
It's like this is almost every demonstration between the Far East. Don't let it bother ya too much.
For a lot of people, their entire personality is pretty much hating on each other's culture. Korea's not innocent in this, nor is Japan, nor is China. It's sort of what happens when historical context of civilizations go back for thousands of years. Some people are gonna get heated about it.
Ultimately, it's easy to cherry pick things to criticize, but I'd trust a historian's take on it over an internet couch critic any day of the week.

The two-section flail was originally developed in China, as early as the Warring States period the ancient Sinitic peoples were already using it as a siege defense weapon, where soldiers on top of the walls would use it to hit climbing enemies. However, it was only until the 10th century AD that the Tangut people of Northwestern China discovered its uses on horseback, and this was soon adopted by their neighbor the Song dynasty. The succeeding Yuan and Ming dynasties continued to use horseback flail, and this weapon most likely spread to Joseon during the Imjin War when Ming cavalry entered Korea to help the Koreans fight against Japanese.
@Vinlon Voss I'm not talking about maces and axes, I'm talking about the two-section flail.
indeed, china has had alot of kinds of weapons.
aside from jian 剑 or dao 刀, there were so many weapons in ancient china, such as crossbow 弩, speargun 枪, halberd 戟, cudgel 棍, lance 殳, langxian 狼筅, hammer 锤, plow 钯, and more.
these weapons r known as tools for "18 military skills 十八般武艺".
korean "sib pal gi 십팔기" is no more than a degraded copy of this.
in sum, koreans just followed some of these chinese weapons.
nothing more, nothing less.
idk about nothing more or less. koreans were already using flails for farming. it's just a weaponized version. it was like that in europe as well altho idk how popular the two section flails were in europe
@@simonlee2769
anything available r supposed to be utilized as weapons at a peasant uprising.
plows, hoes, axes, hammers. anything.
of course. thats like that everywhere else. I just disagree with the notion that chinese spread the 2 sectioned flail as a weapon to korean
Anyone can do it. The straw that has been scattered is so thin that it has many gaps, and the bamboo that has been placed upright is so thin that it can be cut with a knife. For Japanese swords, we use thicker and harder materials used for tatami mats, and the thickness of bamboo is about 20 cm. It's just a dance. He swings his sword in the final screen, but it's already so cruel that he can't cut it.

run sprint, then lunge the spear,
god damn that'd be lethal
The rattan shield and the Langxian wolf brush shown in the video were also Chinese weapons, originally developed in Southern China, then brought to Korea by the Ming armies during the Imjin War.
Very accurate.
In the first place, Joseon didn't even have any military manuals of its own.
・"Muyedobotongji (武藝圖譜通志)" says as follows:
"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 Kin-en (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.
Then, 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').
Afterwards, 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, the illustrated manual (i.e."Muyedobotongji") was compiled."
(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.)
・Thus, most of the Joseon soldiers began to practice the skill of polearm-fighting including langxian (狼筅).
As a matter of course, swordsmanship of China also had been introduced to Joseon at the time.
However, very few of them practiced the skill of swordsmanship.
Indeed, "The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty (朝鮮王朝實録, 조선왕조실록)" says like this:
"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." (September 17, 1592)
"Seeing our soldiers do their military exercise of swords and spears recently,
I found that they solely practice either the skill of long spears or that of langxians,
and very few do the exercise in sword arts." (December 5, 1596)

As I stated before in another comment of mine, Joseon tried to follow both the Chinese swordsmanship and the Japanese ones. In fact, a Korean military officer named Kim Che-gong (金体乾), among others, earnestly learned the swordsmanship of Japan.
He frequented the Japan House (倭館)
for the purpose of acquiring Japanese sword arts, and went so far as to attend 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.
@Master Mollang
Well, listen to me carefully, you empty-headed Korean. (I dare not cite any documents of Japan, for you short-sighted Koreans will reject those ones merely because those documents were written by the Japanese.)
・The Book of Sui (隋書), one of the official Twenty-Four Histories of imperial China, says as follows:
"Both Shilla and Baekje admired WA as a great nation with a plenty of things rare and precious.
Therefore, they would often send their envoys to WA respectively."
(新羅百濟皆以倭為大國 多珍物並敬仰之 恒通使往來)
・Also, "The Gwanggaeto Stele (広開土王碑)" says,
"Originally, Shilla together with Baekje had long been vassal states of Gogurye, and paid tributes to it.
Still, WA crossed the water to defeat Shilla, Baekje (and Gaya) in 391. Thenceforth, WA made them its subject nations."
(百残新羅旧是属民由来朝貢而倭以辛卯年来渡海破百残□□(加羅)新羅以為臣民)
・"The Portraits of Periodical Offering (梁職貢図)" found in 2011 says,
"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.
It is because this state belonged to Han (韓) in one period, but was subordinate to WA in another."
(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)
・Similarly, such a description as this can be found in "Sung Shu: Ibanden, Wakokujo (宋書 夷蛮伝 倭国条) or The Book of Song)" which was compiled in 504:
"As the king of WA proclaimed to be 'great general subjugating eastern region (安東大将軍)' who militarily rule WA, Silla, Mimana, Gaya, Jinhan, and Bohan.
Then, Emperor Shun of Song (宋順帝) was obliged to obey his demand, and ordained him the estate in the result."
(使持節都督倭新羅任那加羅秦韓慕韓六国諸軍事安東大将軍倭国王)
@Master Mollang
Incidentally, even if you Koreans can not admit the descriptions of "Nihon-shoki (日本書紀)" or "Kojiki (古事記)," these history books say as follows:
・"During the reign of Emperor Kotoku (孝徳天皇), the envoys from Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla often visited."
Further, Silla had Goguryeo pay tribute to WA by being accompanied with Silla's envoy, and in September 674, Anseung (安勝) was given a title of King of Bodeok (報徳国) to establish a puppet regime there in order to demonstrate the suzerainty of Silla over former Goguryeo.
@Master Mollang
Well, you dare to use "Nihon-shoki" as a reliable data? Interesting, fairly interesting. Most of the Koreans negate the descriptions written in this history book together with "Kojiki" because they will not believe that these descriptions can be regarded as authoritative information. (I also admit the fact that any "history books" are more or less twisted on some political grounds to a certain extent. So are most of historical documents all over the world)
Then, you are to accept the so-called "Legendary Military Invasion of Korea in the 3rd century (三韓征伐)," as a matter of course.
"I believe this description (because this information is convenient for us), but I don't believe this (because it's disadvantageous for us)."
You are sensible enough to understand that such a blatant (and childish) excuse makes no sense, right?
Having said that, as I stated before, the inscription of "The Gwanggaeto Stele (広開土王碑)" also certifies this incident though:
"Originally, Shilla together with Baekje had long been vassal states of Goguryeo, and paid tributes to it. Still, WA crossed the water to defeat Shilla, Baekje (and Gaya) in 391.
Thenceforth, WA made them its subject nations."
(百残新羅旧是属民由来朝貢而倭以辛卯年来渡海破百残□□(加羅)新羅以為臣民)
In addition to this, "Sung Shu ((宋書; The Book of Songu: Ibanden, Wakokujo (宋書 夷蛮伝 倭国条))" demonstrates that WA held sway over several regions in the Korean peninsula, too ( I already cited this description above):
"The king of WA proclaimed to be 'great general subjugating eastern region (安東大将軍)' who militarily rule WA, Silla, Mimana, Gaya, Jinhan, and Bohan.
Then, Emperor Shun of Song (宋順帝) was obliged to obey his demand, and ordained him the estate in the result."

Korea has many good soldiers who are skilled. But why can't protect Queen Min from assassination from the Japanese Ninja Swordsmen ?
its becus korean soldiers didnt think that they had to fulfill their missions at the risk of their lives.
The country and the military power was weak at the time of late 19 century to early 20 century.
Queen Min's father-in-law, Heungseon Daewongun, didn't want to get his hands dirty, and when Japan tried to do that, he tolerated it.

Korea didn't have traditional martial arts except for wrestling and archery. The arts that you see here are copies from Chinese manuscript called (Muye Tobo Tong Ji) developed in the 18th century.
They did have a martial arts tradition but they were lost so the actual manuscript you mention is just a reconstruction of their past tradition. If they didn't have such skill in strategy and marital skill they would have been Chinese or Japanese a long time ago.
@@moreshige not really. All countries had armies and taught their soldiers how to use weapons. There is nothing special there. But it seems that only in a few cultures these skills became an "art". For instance China, India, Japan, and Indonesia. Such arts became embedded into culture and could not be lost. If Korea "lost" theirs, it means they never had advanced martial arts akin to China or Japan to begin with.
@@mikitadou Their original manuscripts were destroyed from constant invasions from outsiders. Your whole premise resides on the fact that Korea never had a martial tradition until recently because of the recent date of when the Muyedobotongji (무예도보통지) was written in 1790. But that's like saying Japanese history never existed beforel 720 AD when the Nihon Shoki was actually written. That's a just huge assumption, not to mention just faulty reasoning.
@@moreshige why? Not all countries had advanced martial arts. Korea fully adopted Chinese and Japanese ones, and actually Japanese advanced martial art not that old either, so Nihon Shoki has nothing to do with that, Japanese advanced martial arts akin to Kenjutsu and juu-jutsu started evolving in around 11-12 centuries. Korean ones started evolving in 15-16th century, on the basis of muyedobontonji. Chinese arts...if believing that they actually came from shaolin, would put it around 5th century.
@@mikitadou You really missed my point about the Nihon Shoki. I guess I have to spell it out for you. Just because a thing, let's say martial arts was never codified into writing doesn't mean that it never existed before that time. So, just because the Nihon Shoki was written in 720 AD doesn't mean Japan didn't exist before and suddenly came to being as soon as the writers put pen to paper. You implied because the Muyedobotongji was written in the 18th century, Korean martial arts never existed before that. I clarified that the Muyedobotongji was reconstructed from older manuscripts which were destroyed from foreign invasions like the Imjin waeran war (which you chose to ignore). And you just contradicted yourself. "Korean ones started evolving in 15-16th century, on the basis of muyedobontonji". Going by your logic, how can Korean arts be based on something written in the future? So which is it? 18th century or 15-16th century?
Nice‼ baton twirler lol
With the exception of the flail and naginata the rest originated from china and was brought to Korea during a war with Japan
Korea had no spears before being brought from China during a war with Japan? Preposterous! You're almost just spewing out random words in the hope that it will make sense now!
Flail was also most likely of Chinese origin.
@TheXanian
Actually Gokturk(northern nomad babarians) used the frail at the first time.
@@KBKim-jt6uj From what I've read, ancient Chinese records suggest that northwestern tribes such as the Tanguts used that first, then it spread to China, and then Korea.
yes, thats right. Xi rong origin.
In the Korean peninsula, any martial arts (except for the skill of archery) had not made advance, especially during the era of Yi dynasty (李氏朝鮮).
Even if there had been warriors who used swords or spears, these warriors were merely forced to fight in the front lines of their battle. These warriors, needless to say, were ppl of lower class (or of the lowest class) in their society.
In a word, those warriors with swords or spears had been no more than "sacrificial pawns" for the elite soldiers who used bows and arrows in the back of them.
In sum, their main weapon were archery after all, and these elite soldiers hardly ever had any close-fighting with swords or spears squarely.
Thus, aside from "bows and arrows," other weapons and the method of using those had been rarely improved.
At the same time, neither soldiers nor martial artists had been esteemed there, and any weapons were not thought highly of, or regarded as "barbaric" as a whole.
It is partly because the society of Joseon Korea had been under the strong influence of Confucianism.
However, it is mainly because the Koreans have made it a rule to avoid any close-fighting on the battlefield, it seems
Indeed, the Koreans' timidity is traditional on the whole.
Just read the description written by Hendrick Hamel in the following site:
www.hendrick-hamel.henny-savenije.pe.kr/holland12.htm
Thus, some Korean soldiers would have rather killed themselves than fought their enemies squarely.
・Take "The Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty (朝鮮王朝實録, 조선왕록)," for instance.
This record says as follows:
"Military orders of our country is not very strict and easily violated,
so our soldiers have fled at their own will before they are to 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)
Korean soldiers, in a word, have never had courage to fight their enemies with melee weapons squarely. Accordingly, they made the choice to attack their enemies from a long distance using bows and arrows.
("stone battle" called Seokjeon (石戦, 석전), too. Actually, Seogtu (석투) military unit had been organized as a greater combat technique during the Goryeo period.)
In fact, even in recent years, Koreans prefer to refer to "Hyunmoo (玄武, 현무) missiles." They are not interested in fighting with conventional weapons at all, it seems.
・Further, 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."
・In addition to these, Matthew B. Ridgway also argues in his book ("The Korean War: The Chinese Intervention") 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."
@Master Mollang >”you have a giant gaping inferiority complex towards Koreans"???
LOL ... what sort of inferiority complex should the Japanese have towards the Koreans?
Anyway, if you can disprove what I wrote, then you have only to provide some counter evidence for that, right? (Indeed, I merely cited some descriptions just as they are)
If you can't do that, then just zip your mouth up.
Understood, you Korean?
@Master Mollang
Surely, it is said that Baekje introduced Buddhism (仏教), the Analects of Confucius (論語), construction technology, and others to Japan in ancient times.
OK, then, where did Baekje learned these cultural heritages from? They earnestly followed ancient China, didn't they?
In a word, the kingdoms including Baekje in the Korean peninsula had been a kind of intermediator between imperial China and ancient Japan.
Indeed, Prof. Michael J.Seth argues in his book as follows:
"China provided the model for literature, art, music, architecture, dress, and etiquette.
From China, Koreans imported most of their ideas about government and politics.
They accepted the Chinese worldview in which China was the centre of the universe and home of all civilization, and its emperor the mediator between heaven and earth."
(cited from "A History of Korea," Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2010, p.4)
Thus, some cultural heritages were introduce to Japan from China VIA Baekje, for sure.
However, others were DIRECTLY introduced from imperial China.
Just take a look at figure of "the direct sea route" between Tang/Sui dynasty and Japan in the past:
www.ancient.eu/article/1085/ancient-japanese--chinese-relations/
Just as a side note, the oldest description found in history books of imperial China is about the five kings of WA who tribute to Sung Dynasty (宋: 南朝) in the period of "North and South Dynasties."
This fact means that WA had already constructed some ships sturdy enough to cross the sea at the time.
Further, according to the inscription of the Gwanggaeto Stele, WA crossed the sea as early as in 391.
@Master Mollang
As you know well, King Uija/Giji (義慈王) of Baekje made his son Buyeo Pung (扶余豊璋) stay in WA as a hostage.
・ King Uija made King Zenko（善光王) stay there as their hostages, too.
・The following year, 662, WA took Buyeo Pung, the prince of Baekje who had stayed in WA, to Baekje with 170 navy ships in order to make him take the throne.
(WA needed to utilize Buyeo Pung as the king of their puppet regime)
These historical facts clearly show that
1. Baekje desperately sought military support from WA.
2. WA had already gotten some technology to construct a lot of ships which could afford to carry their soldiers.
Above all, these soldiers of WA fought enemy with primitive weapons such as stone axes or stone-tipped spears? It is natural that their equipments for battle should have been advanced enough to fight foreign enemies.
Don't you think so?
Okay. You need to hear about 'Shinmiyangyo' who fought a war with the United States in Korea and 'Sinmiyangyo' who fought a war with the French army. Of course, Joseon did not have advanced weapons compared to the United States and France, but it fought bravely. At that time, one of the U.S. soldiers said, "I've never had so many bullets and cannons in my life.Wow, they didn't care about a lot of bullets. They showed themselves without any protective gear and shot or fired arrows. They are like Hercules,' he said. Before the U.S. invasion of Joseon, the U.S. military was told that France was defeated in the battle between France and Joseon and trained in advance trained. Also, in the history of the world, there has never been a place where the word 'righteous army' has been used like Korea. A righteous army is a group of people who are not soldiers but participate in the war. They fought with armed and trained soldiers to protect their country. In fact, the "Imjin War," in which Japan invaded Joseon, was a war in which Joseon won due to the activities of Joseon naval forces and righteous army. The people did not take refuge and became soldiers themselves and fought against the enemy. In Korea's history, despite numerous countries invading Korea, the reason why Korea has continued so far is because of the activities of the righteous army. This is because the whole nation fought with one mind. You are also saying this because you do not know Goguryeo, which historically occupied a large territory. Goguryeo defeated 300,000 Su'an troops. According to ancient Chinese literature, less than 2,700 soldiers from the Sui Dynasty returned alive at that time. This war is called the 'Salsu Battle' in Korea.
Commies feared koreans the most for their unmatched brutality.
kpop dance ?
K-pop history re-write.
china has a long history of wushu, and a lot of stories of wuxia.
likewise, japan is the country with a long history of samurai soldiers.
however, korea doesnt have any history of such martial heroes.
in the society of joseon korea, only the learned men called "seonbi (선비), or noblemen called "yangban (양반), had been highly esteemed under the strong influence of confucianism.
meanwhile, any martial artists (including military officers or soldiers) were made light of, and weaponry was despised because koreans habitually regarded any weapons, or any martial arts, as "barbaric and uncivilized" until very recently.
nonetheless, these martial arts suddenly came into the spotlight in korea nowadays.
its just because kung-fu films of hong kong, samurai movies or japanese swords became world-famous, they felt deeply envious of those phenomena.
and then, the koreans soon began to make films such as "musa" 2001, "sword in the moon"2005, "shadowless sword" 2005, "six flying dragons" 2015-16, "warriors of the dawn" 2017, "the swordsman" 2020, and others. ( "the swordsman" or something is no more than a degraded rip-off of japanese "road to kenshin" together with hongkongs cheap kung-fu films)
moreover, koreans began to make up various kinds of martial arts such as "taekwondo," or "haidong gumudo" by watching what the hong kongners/the japanese do and following their example. they didnt forget to add "movie-like" move to these made-up martial arts.
accordingly, these made-up ones look showy, but so superficial.
in conclusion: these NEW korean martial arts r no more than "fake."
China's long history of wushu is useless, seeing as wushu is a useless martial art. Wuxia is mere fantasy.
The samurai class was erased by the Japanese and was seen as a shameful heritage during the Meiji Restoration. They were swiftly eliminated and replaced with European-style soldiers.
In Korea, no one cares about wushu, wuxia, or samurai. I don't know who told you that these things have come into the spotlight of Korea recently, because that's not true. When we think of Hong Kong, we think of Hong Kong dramas, not laughable kung-fu films. And Korean dramas are far more world-famous and globally popular than Chinese/Hong Kong dramas. If anything, it's the Chinese and Japanese who are envious from how globally popular kdramas, K-pop, Korean beauty, Korean movies, etc. is getting. That's why Chinese and Japanese incessantly copy Korean pop culture and get plastic surgery to look Korean. At least the Japanese have anime still, (I love anime myself) but anime are just 2D characters. What do the Chinese have?
Samurai movies are not world-famous. The best samurai movies of all time still loses in terms of accomplishments and accolades to the Korean movie Parasite. Japanese swords are world-famous, but Koreans don't really care.
Taekwondo is not a "made-up" martial art. Taekwondo is a modern-term, but the martial art and its parentage has been around for thousands of years. "Haidong gumdo" is a very new martial art. Kyokushin karate (the most effective form of karate) was developed by a Korean (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mas_Oyama) and shares similar influences from the same parentage.
“they didnt forget to add 'movie-like' move to these made-up martial arts.
accordingly, these made-up ones look showy, but so superficial.
in conclusion: these NEW korean martial arts r no more than 'fake.'"
There are many UFC champions who use a taekwondo base. Anderson Silva, Valentina Shevchenko, Anthony Pettis, Benson Henderson, Rose Namajunas, etc. GSP is a Kyokushin karate base fighter. How many UFC champs are wushu fighters? Zero. How many wushu fighters are even in the UFC? Zero. Even Zhang Weili doesn't practice wushu.
In conclusion, Chinese martial arts are fake and you're projecting heavily.

You should travel more and learn before you speak.
@@dandylion3783 I don’t think you should be talking about illness when you Chinese started covid19 in Wuhan. If you think kpop is monotonous then that’s okay, I respect your opinion. However, the facts are that kpop is globally popular and even your Chinese diaspora prefer it over cpop (which is a shallow copy of kpop). So China is #2 in GDP and #3 in military, who cares? What does that have to do with anything? China is heavily polluted, the average person is heavily impoverished, and is still not educated enough to not take shits in the middle of the street. Your entire economy is based on child labor, cheap knockoff products, and stealing intellectual property. That’s not something to boast about. If you didn’t care what Koreans have to say then you wouldn’t have responded nor left a comment on a Korean topic video. If you Chinese tell the whole story then don’t brag about your shallow GDP or military and focus on becoming a developed country.
Yeah. Now be quiet, my little lion. You can't watch this video because you don't have eyes. I'll take it easy on you. If you don't know anything about Korea and you're just talking nonsense to bring it down, shut up right now. You don't know about the historic battle in which Goguryeo's general Uljimundeok reduced the number of 300 thousand troops in the Sui Dynasty to less than 2,700, and you don't know the history of Korea's war in which Yi Sunsin, a Joseon general, destroyed 333 Japanese ships with 12 ships. In fact, Admiral Yi Sun-shin won all the battles against Japan. Also, you may not know about Kang Gam-chan, a Korean general who climbed the wall alone and recaptured the castle during the Japanese Invasion of Korea. Right? And you wouldn't know that Salita, the Mongolian general who brought the whole world to heel, was killed in action in Goryeo (Korea). Oh, you don't know that China was destroyed by Mongolia, but Goryeo wasn't destroyed, do you? The Kubelai Khan of Mongolia said, "The prince of Goguryeo, who ruled the world, was on my side. This is the will of heaven that I will rule the world.' You may not know that the king of Goryeo married the princess of Mongolia. What's wrong with Korea when there were so many great wars and so many great martial arts? Why do Japan and China keep ignoring and insulting Korea? Don't use it when you're alive, wash your feet and go to sleep.
Samurai probably invaded korea because they danced with katanas and that pissed off the bushi
I liked your joke. In any case, Samurai invaded Joseon (Korea) just because they needed their "entry route" to the land of Ming.
Hideyoshi Toyotomi, from the beginning, did not think that Joseon (Korea) itself had been worth conquering. His main target was just Ming dynasty, not Joseon.
@@lupimali9504 joke Im too samurai serious to even know what a joke is. Did Hideyoshi forget that his ancestors or yaoi century migrated from Korea?
@@lupimali9504 look it up the first japanese ancestors moved from korea....
@@hmuphilly9129 Lol,It was chinese and korean.
