Commissioned in 1790 by King Jeongjo (r. 1740–1810), the Muyedobotongji (Korean: 무예도보통지; lit. Comprehensive Illustrated Manual of Martial Arts; Muye Dobo Tong Ji) expanded on the eighteen weapons systems identified in the Muyeshinbo of 1758.

Written by Yi Deongmu (이덕무, 1741–1793), Pak Je-ga (박제가, 1750–1805) and Baek Dong-soo (백동수, 1743–1816), and published in four volumes in 1795, it preserved the methods and practices of the earlier work while adding equestrian training. While little more than a field manual for cataloguing required skills, the Muyedobotongji is widely regarded as a resource for understanding the nature of Korean military science in the 18th century.
