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.

Hwa Rang Do is one of the few martial arts which is still considered traditional and free of the Americanization which is prevelant in other martial arts, especially Karate and Tae Kwon Do. This is due entirely to the pursuits of Hwa Rang Do Supreme Grand Master and founder, Dr. Joo Bang Lee.

There are over 4,000 combat techniques in Hwa Rang Do, as well as 108 weapons.
