Since the 1970s, there has been a revival of traditional or reconstructed methods of swordsmanship (劍術 ''geom sul'', or 劍法 ''geom beop'') based on the Korean sword in the Republic of Korea (Korean ''Bon Kuk Geom Beop'' 본국검법 "National Sword Methods"), supplementing the practice of Kumdo (the Korean adoption of modern Japanese Kendo). There are historical sources on which such reconstructions are based, dating to the 17th and 18th centuries, notably the ''Muyejebo'' (“Martial Arts Illustrations”) of 1610, its 1759 revision ''Muyeshinbo'', supplemented with 12 additional fighting methods by Prince Sado who originated the term ''Sip Pal Ki'' (“Eighteen Fighting Methods”), and the renewed revision of 1790, ''Muyedobotongji. Korean sword practice entails the study and use of one or more of five sword architectures including the single-handed sabre (''To''), the single-handed sword (''Geom''), the two-handed saber (''Ssangsoodo'') and two pole arms; the Spear Sword (''Hyup Do'') and the Glaive (''Wol Do'').〔Comprehensive Illustrated Manual of Martial Arts; YI Duk-moo1 & PARK Je-ga (1795); Trans: KIM Sang H; Turtle Press 2000〕 Any of these weapons can be studied following one of two disciplines. The study of Korean sword as a weapons system is commonly called ''Geom Beop'' ("sword methods") while the use of sword study as a form of personal development or sport is commonly called ''Geom Do'' (검도, 劍道) "Way of the Sword"). In either case, additional equipment and practices have been added to further the study and safety of the subject. These include but are not limited to body armor (''Ho-gu''), bamboo (''Juk-To'') and wooden (''Mok-Geom'') swords and a range of materials for piercing or cutting. == Historical background== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Korean swordsmanship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
