Shippalgi or Sibpalgi is a Korean martial art which is said to have its roots in the Mu Ye Shin Bo, a Korean martial arts manual published in 1759. This book was based on an older manual, Mu Ye Je Bo. Both formed the basis for the better known Muyedobotongji.

The modern version of SibPalGi was revitalized by grandmaster Kim Kwang Suk (김광석, 1936). During the Japanese occupation of Korea Kim spend his youth in a small taoist community in the Korean mountains where he received his training in traditional Korean martial arts. This happened in secret, because the Japanse had outlawed the study of Korean martial arts. He also studied Eastern medicine and breathing exercises.

Between 1987 and 2002 master Kim published four books about Korean martial arts.

In the Mu Ye Shin Bo 18 methods of fighting are described, 17 of which involve the use of arms while the other method is that of unarmed combat. The name sib pal gi means eighteen methodes, thus referring to the methods described in the Mu Ye Shin Bo.

Sipalki (the new version) has 18 methods but only 15 with weapons and the other 3 with no weapons. Those last methods refer to personal defense combat, one on one combat, and the last about one against eight.
