Ssireum

Traditional Korean form of wrestling where two competitors, each wearing long fabric belts around their waists and one thigh, grip their opponent's belt and use various techniques to try to bring their opponent to the ground. Ssireum is distinguished by its unique belt-gripping techniques and the emphasis on balance and leverage rather than sheer strength, making it a culturally significant sport in Korea. It primarily appeals to individuals interested in traditional martial arts and cultural sports, as well as those seeking to preserve and promote Korean heritage.
