Muye24gi, also written as Muye24ki, is a Korean martial art which tries to revive the techniques found in a martial arts manual that was written in 1790, called Muyedobotongji. Muye24gi is a branch of the Gwang Ju based Muye24ban (eesibsaban, 24 items) originally created by Dong Kyu Lim. One of Lim's students, Kim Young Ho restyled the art by copying the forms of Sibpalki.

[edit] Meaning
Mu stands for martial while the number 24 refers to the twenty four methods of or warfare that are described in the Muyedobotongji. This includes six methods of fighting on horseback. 24 is pronounced as ee sib sa. The word gi in this context means technique or method. So muye24gi can be translated as 24 martial methods.
[edit] Action
In the city of Suwon at the Hwaseong Fortress demonstrations of this martial art are given daily during the summer months. The Muye24ki movement is currently actively recruiting members for their demonstration team.
