Formerly known as the Korean Yudo College, Yong-In University changed its name to reflect the wide variety of Korean martial arts and cultural education it offers. Founded by prominent martial arts leaders in 1953, the Yudo College was the first college level institution specializing in martial arts in Asia. Today, Yong-In University comprises not only vastly diverse martial arts programs, but five different colleges teaching Physical Education, Fine Arts and Music, Natural Science, and Liberal Arts.
