Sunmudo (선무도) is the name of the Korean Seon (also Sun or Zen) Buddhist martial art that was revived during the seventies and eighties of the 20th century. The formal name of Sunmudo is "Bulgyo Geumgang Yeong Gwon" (Hangul: 불교 금강용권 Hanja: 佛敎 金剛靈拳). The name sunmudo was given to this martial art in 1984 by the buddhist monk Jeog Un Seunim (적은 스님). (seunim meaning monk or priest in Korean)

In earlier times Buddhist monks were encouraged to practice zen martial arts as a way of dynamic meditation. However it became neglected during the 19th century.

At Bomosa temple Yang Ik Seunim revived the art by systemizing the techniques. Jeog Un Seunim worked on its popularization during the 1970s.

These days training is offered to non-Buddhists and laypersons at Golgulsa temple in Korea, and other places around the world as well.
