Daegu Police and Ssirum Promotion Institute Join Forces for Traditional Martial Arts Collaboration

Lee Taehyun Leads Training, Joint Drills, and Crime Prevention Campaign

Daegu Metropolitan Police Agency has simultaneously realized the dual values of citizen safety, crime prevention, and the preservation of traditional culture through the fusion of traditional martial arts and police martial arts.

Through the fusion of traditional martial arts and police martial arts, citizen safety, crime prevention, and the preservation of traditional culture were simultaneously achieved.

On the 13th, at the Muhak Hall of the Daegu Metropolitan Police Agency, an event was held in collaboration with the Ssirum Promotion Institute for Intangible Cultural Heritage and the Gumi City Hall Ssirum Team. The event featured mutual technical exchanges between ssirum and police restraint techniques, joint simulation training, and the filming of a crime prevention promotional video.

On site, Lee Taehyun, former Cheonhajangsa champion and current professor at Yongin University, who also serves as the chairman of the Ssirum Promotion Institute for Intangible Cultural Heritage, directly participated and taught ssirum techniques to Daegu police physical force training instructors. The police, in turn, provided practical arrest technique training to the ssirum team athletes, facilitating an exchange of specialized skills between both sides.

During the subsequent joint simulation training, which was based on a hypothetical crime scenario, a live demonstration combining the strength of ssirum and police restraint techniques was conducted, receiving an enthusiastic response from attendees.

Additionally, the police and the ssirum team produced a short promotional video on the theme of "Preventing Multi-Victim Fraud," delivering a preventive message to citizens. The video is scheduled to be released through the official channels of the Daegu Metropolitan Police Agency.

Lee Seunghyup, Commissioner of the Daegu Metropolitan Police Agency, stated, "The collaboration between traditional ssirum and police martial arts goes beyond simple technical exchange; it represents a new model of cooperation that simultaneously pursues citizen safety and the preservation of traditional culture. Moving forward, we will continue to strengthen crime prevention activities and cultural promotion through collaboration with various organizations."
