Gaogoli/goguryo confusion
I think that the writer tried to imply that ssireum derived from Goguryeo, with the idea that goguryeo is a Chinese state and not a Korean one. Please change this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.92.74.153 (talk) 03:53, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Modern term
"In modern Korea, the term has been shortened to just sirum" - Does this refer to the latinization ? If so, I guess it's correct. How-ever, is that important? If it refers to the original, then I would question whether 시룸 is used. I've never seen it, and a search using naver does not support it Kdammers 08:44, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I think that the line should be deleted. I've also never heard of the claim and couldn't find any reference at all unless 시름 means agony. I deleted a false claim 'Sumo gains a global popularity unlike ssireum" yesterday. Such the unverifiable and uncited contents could be deleted at any minutes.--Appletrees 11:50, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

The title 'Ssireum' should be changed correctly to fit the english grammar. The 'Ssi' is the old and fault mark of "씨". Ok. The official site puts it on the banner, as "Ssireum". Keep it off whether it is wrong or not. --Yodamgod (talk) 15:43, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Hanja
There is no hanja for the modern-day name, ssireum. The only hanja is 氏, which means 'last name'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.30.78.227 (talk) 18:07, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Suggested merger
I've suggested that the one-sentence article entitled "Satba" be merged into this article.--Epeefleche (talk) 23:01, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Ssireum is associated with a Korean pseudo martial art Subak
The historical records say "hurrying (Byun) is Subak, gaming is wrestling". Korean wrestling's goal is takedown. Hurrying a takedown or a knockdown with strikes is Subak in euphemism.

Korean wrestling Ssireum turns the torso about from 45 degrees to 90 degrees when throwing the opponent. This is done by shifting the opponent's bodyweight onto his 1 leg then pushing back his bodyweight towards the floor. For street fighting, wrestlers can hold & punch at the same time. When punching with common sense, Ssireum wrestling's power move knowhow can be applied. (Punching while turning body, pushing shoulder, stacking power & speed, with the punching motion like throwing someone.) Ssireum turns about 45 degrees to 90 degrees when throwing, like those picture I attached.

Also, even if Ssireum turns a lot, when punching using that body momentum & leverage, the person can turn only halfway. Also, when punching, even if shoulder is pushed a lot like 90 degrees, can still punch front (kind of like punching your own side, punching at beside you, overextending with punch). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bearberserk (talk • contribs) 20:32, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Italicize?
Should ssireum be italicized? Conflicted. See MOS:FOREIGNITALIC

It doesn't seem to appear in English dictionaries, and it's not a proper noun. My guess is that it's italicized and not capitalized (as per WP:WPMA), but I'm not sure. toobigtokale (talk) 20:34, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
