And the place where it had been written was “Jangyongyeong”, the military camp under King Jungjo, so the martial arts activity of royal security organizations was very important in the latter part of Chosun. The transition of martial arts of royal security organizations has significance in the history of martial arts. And because royal security organizations was on the core position of power, the political leverage of them couldn’t be ignored, which means that the martial art ability decided their position. Therefore, compiling martial arts and training it with royal security arms as the military unit under the direct control of King resulted in strengthening the royal authority.
