씨름

I am very impressed at how good Korean golfers are.

Many LPGA tournaments were won by Korean golfers.

It's popular among people who are better off.

 (better off: 경제적으로 여유가 있는

   <--> worse off: 경제적으로 여유가 없는)

Have you ever seen a 씨름 match?

It's what we call Korean folk[traditional] wrestling. Japan has sumo and we have 씨름.

(folk village: 민속촌)

---------------------------------------------

Two wrestlers wear (two) different color belts. 

A winner wins by bringing a part of the opponent's body above the knee to the ground.

(상대방의 무릎 위에 있는 신체 부위를 땅에 닿게 하면 이기는 거야.)

---------------------------------------------

The first one to get to 17 is the winner. 

(17점 먼저 따는 사람이 이기는 거다.) 

---------------------------------------------

씨름 is also commonly played for recreation.

(씨름을 재미삼아 하는 경우도 있어.)

It's one of the main events on sports day in schools.

(체육대회의 주 종목 중에 하나야.)

sports day: 체육대회, 운동회.

a tug of war: 줄다리기, dodge ball: 피구

kick ball: 발야구

---------------------------------------------

There are four weight classes in 씨름.

(씨름에는 네 개의 체급이 있다)
