Ssireum is one of Korea's traditional sports matches, which dates back to the ancient time of Korea. It does not require special equipment and huge space. It only requires the power and skills of humans during the match. It represents primitive purity, splendid performances such as knocking the opponent down, and thrills that even a small player can knock down his gigantic opponent if he properly takes advantage of his opponent's power. It is such an attractive sport. The goal of this book is to provide us with great excitements and thrills we enjoy while watching Ssireum match. You would have so much fun while reading-powerful motion and splendid performances, competition that makes you be all on edge, exciting cheers from audience, tricky moment of a tiny player knocking down his huge opponent, a shout of joy of victory!
