===Korea=== {{Main|Korean martial arts}} [[Taekkyeon|Taekkyon]] is the traditional martial art of [[Korea]]. Taekkyon came into existence sometime before the [[Silla]] dynasty united the peninsula. It is believed Taekkyon was known as Subak at that time. Taekkyon focuses on up-right fighting: footwork, kicks, strikes, blocks, throws and rhythm. [[Ssireum]] is the traditional wrestling art of Korea. Gakjeochong (κ°μ μ΄:θ§ζ΅ε‘) murals show that wrestling in Korea dates back as early as the pre-Three Kingdom era. The Book of Later Han, a Chinese document that was written either before or early in the history of the Three Kingdoms also has records of Korean wrestling.{{citation needed|date=July 2012}} Ssireum first gained widespread popularity during the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910). Two Korean martial arts manuals [[Muyejebo]] and [[Muyedobotongji]] date from 1598 and 1790, respectively.
