Yu Sul
Yu Sul is an ancient Korean grappling and striking martial art. If you take the ancient written characters for Yu sul and translate it to Japanese, it is read also as grappling arts or more recently jujutsu. The concept of the grappling arts appears in Japan about 100 years after Yusul appears in Korea. For this reason historians have been trying to verify the origin of the grappling arts on the Island to mainland Asia. This has caused friction between the two countries. Japan completely ignores these historical documents (Japan won't even mention the term Yu sul even when describing only terminology and not technique), while Korea focuses on trying to tie this formerly extinct art to the origin of all grappling arts in Japan. Japan later uses the term jujutsu to encompass all grappling arts. Although Yu Sul in its original form was extinct, many people worldwide have recently created their own styles and versions of Yu Sul. These revived forms have their own techniques, methods, and a new way of fighting, which still continues today. One of these modern styles of Yu Sul is Gongkwon Yusul.
