the traditional Korean martial art

What is Hwa Rang Do?

Hwa Rang Do is a traditional Korean martial art that was created over 1800 years ago for warriors of the
Silla kingdom in what is now Korea. The instruction included martial arts, religious training, intellectual
enhancement, and artistic pursuits. The sport form, Tae Soo Do, is a modernized form of Hwa Rang Do
that can be taught to everyone as an undergraduate program to the comprehensive and diverse Hwa Rang Do training.

Check out the University club Hwa Rang Do site that I put together.
