① The satba's origin"Sat" in "satba" means groin, and "ba" means rope. Therefore, samba's etymology comes from a string wrapped around the groin.
The official satba has a 10 cm loop and the end is completed with a 20 cm stitch. The wrestler's name is displayed clearly with white color in Korean. The elementary school division satba is 100cm wide, and the length is thigh circumference + waist circumference + 100 cm. The middle school division satba is 120 cm wide, and the length follows the elementary school division regulations. The university and semi-pro division satbas are 140 cm wide, and the length is thigh circumference + waist circumference + 110 cm.
In the early days, cotton, burlap, and other similar materials were used. But since the 1920s, white cotton has been in use. After gaining independence from Japan, black and white satbas were used to standardize Ssireum. But with the spread of color television in the 1980s, blue and red satbas, the colors of the Taeguk, came into use. These days, Ssireum wrestlers use personal satbas that fit perfectly around their thighs
