This was the second performance I saw in the Korean Folk Village. They displayed various traditional martial arts such as archery, whipping and avoiding weapons on horse. Most of performance was displayed with their horses. They made amazing actions on horseback riding. I was sitting in the first line. The sound of whip was very loud when they show us whipping performance on the ground. It was strange horse wasn't surprised with the sound.

 Traditional Martial Arts

They changed their position on horseback riding.

The motion on the horse was very stable as the horsemen were tied from the first time.

In the show, a horsewoman came out.

She was great too. Her horse started the performance after showing us horse dung in the side of the ground.

The woman was holding something, and two men hit them by whipping.

She shot an arrow and it hit the mark on her riding horse.

Horsemen performed as people in circus. They built human towers after individual action. The horse was still running.

The following video is a part of martial arts performance on horseback riding they made. They said it's an action about how to avoid weapons. The movement was so fast, and they didn't make a mistake. It was so good. 

Some people was trying to take a picture with them including horses. Some people wanted to ride. I think riding horse is possible with payment. I'm not sure of it. The performance took about 20 minutes. I left the place and started to walk more inside of the village.

Everything was beautiful in my eyes including dead flowers along the street.

I thought a word NATURAL while I'm looking around the place. I'd like to go back and have some tea within oneself. I was too hurry to see them.

There were more traditional buildings and various stuffs to see. I'll be back with more pictures of the folk village.
