Gaogoli/goguryo confusion[edit]

I think that the writer tried to imply that ssireum derived from Goguryeo, with the idea that goguryeo is a Chinese state and not a Korean one. Please change this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.92.74.153 (talk) 03:53, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Modern term[edit]

"In modern Korea, the term has been shortened to just sirum" - Does this refer to the latinization ? If so, I guess it's correct. How-ever, is that important? If it refers to the original, then I would question whether 시룸 is used. I've never seen it, and a search using naver does not support it Kdammers 08:44, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the line should be deleted. I've also never heard of the claim and couldn't find any reference at all unless 시름 means agony. I deleted a false claim 'Sumo gains a global popularity unlike ssireum" yesterday. Such the unverifiable and uncited contents could be deleted at any minutes.--Appletrees 11:50, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The title 'Ssireum' should be changed correctly to fit the english grammar. The 'Ssi' is the old and fault mark of "씨". Ok. The official site puts it on the banner, as "Ssireum". Keep it off whether it is wrong or not. --Yodamgod (talk) 15:43, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hanja[edit]

There is no hanja for the modern-day name, ssireum. The only hanja <ssi> is 氏, which means 'last name'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.30.78.227 (talk) 18:07, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Kim Young-Hyun[edit]

The article Kim Young-Hyun has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

I didn't tag it, but thought you should know. Trafford09 (talk) 12:13, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Consider revising this parapraghp[edit]

Suggested merger[edit]

I've suggested that the one-sentence article entitled "Satba" be merged into this article.--Epeefleche (talk) 23:01, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine with me. I'll execute the merge. Goodvac (talk) 23:02, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done here. Goodvac (talk) 23:07, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work. Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 23:14, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ssireum is associated with a Korean pseudo martial art Subak[edit]

The historical records say "hurrying (Byun) is Subak, gaming is wrestling". Korean wrestling's goal is takedown. Hurrying a takedown or a knockdown with strikes is Subak in euphemism.

Korean wrestling Ssireum turns the torso about from 45 degrees to 90 degrees when throwing the opponent. This is done by shifting the opponent's bodyweight onto his 1 leg then pushing back his bodyweight towards the floor. For street fighting, wrestlers can hold & punch at the same time. When punching with common sense, Ssireum wrestling's power move knowhow can be applied. (Punching while turning body, pushing shoulder, stacking power & speed, with the punching motion like throwing someone.) Ssireum turns about 45 degrees to 90 degrees when throwing, like those picture I attached.

Also, even if Ssireum turns a lot, when punching using that body momentum & leverage, the person can turn only halfway. Also, when punching, even if shoulder is pushed a lot like 90 degrees, can still punch front (kind of like punching your own side, punching at beside you, overextending with punch). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bearberserk (talk • contribs) 20:32, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Italicize?[edit]

Should ssireum be italicized? Conflicted. See MOS:FOREIGNITALIC

It doesn't seem to appear in English dictionaries, and it's not a proper noun. My guess is that it's italicized and not capitalized (as per WP:WPMA), but I'm not sure. toobigtokale (talk) 20:34, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
