Martial Arts have been practiced in Korea for more than two thousand years but little is known about the country's early fighting methods. Wrestling, called ssierum, is the oldest form of unarmed fighting in Korea. Besides being used to train soldiers, it was also popular among villagers during festivals. Polished stone swords and arrow tips dating back to the Mumun period have been found. These were presumably not only used for hunting, but for warfare as well. Ancient Koreans didn't develop weapons-based martial arts in depth because iron wasn't introduced until 300 BC. Another reason was that Koreans, as with the neighbouring Mongols, relied more heavily on bows and arrows in warfare than they did on close-range weapons.
