Abstract: 
Martial arts morality is a moral and ethical rule or regulation. This study examined the development and historical values of the martial arts morality in Korea through a literature review and the results are as follows. In ancient times, Korea's martial arts morality culture was formed through Chinese Confucianism and Chinese martial arts was established. During the Joseon Dynasty, a characteristic of the Joseon-style of the martial arts morality culture was revealed. But during the Japanese occupation, through the Budo(Japanese martial arts) of education, the martial arts morality of Budo was introduced into Korea. No martial arts morality other than Budo was studied. After the Japanese occupation period, the Korean style martial arts morality was created under the influence of the morality of the Chinese and Japanese martial arts culture. Korea's martial arts morality was influenced by China and Japan, and the Korean style martial arts morality was passed down to this day and that has its own historical value.
