		The most famous Korean martial arts in the West are perhaps Taekwondo and Hapkido, although there has been a revival of the bladed arts of Korean swords and swordsmanship as well as an interest in Korean knives and knife-fighting as well as the revival of archery on foot and on horse-back.

		In describing the development of the art form, the main difference between the application of animal techniques in Chinese martial arts and Korean arts is highlighted.
		As a result of the practical nature of Korean martial arts, In Hyuk Suh decided that the best way to get maximum value out of animal forms would be to carefully observe the animal, notice why a particular style worked for the animal and then find a way to transform such styles into human technique.
