Hwa Rang Do® During the ancient times in the kingdom of Silla, in present day Korea, an elite group of young members of nobility were recruited and trained in literature, dance, poetry, horsemanship, philosophy, science, and the art of war. They were known as the "Hwa Rang" the Flowering Knights, and due to their physical and mental strengths, these Hwa Rang warriors led their kingdom to unite the whole of the Korean peninsula and parts of Manchuria for the first time in history. This system has been passed down to modern times, and in 1960 Dr. Joo Bang Lee brought this system back to the public when he began teaching in Seoul, Korea. Since then, Hwa Rang Do® has spread throughout the world, while keeping a firm hold on its principles. Hwa Rang Do® is a comprehensive martial arts that includes not only kicking, striking, joint techniques, throws, grappling, weapons, but also healing. It is an art, and not a sport, therefore while there's emphasis on effectiveness of techniques, there's also emphasis on discipline, respect, and tradition. Tae Soo Do® It focuses on the inner mechanics of the martial arts to build body awareness, balance, power and speed. One will learn to achieve a sense of confidence which will empower them to attain higher aspirations within themselves. Tae Soo Do® is a very effective means of self defense, physical and mental well-being, and a catalyst for the development of a true, traditional martial artist. Code of Ethics: The Hwa Rang Do® Meng Sae, the philosophical, ethical, and moral foundation of the art, is made up of the ancient Hwarang's five rules, and Founder Dr. Joo Bang Lee's nine philosophies concerning human morality.
