THE PURITY and TRUTH of Authentic Hwarang.
I opened the very first pure and true Hwarang dojang in North America in 1970 after coming back from South Korea in the late 60’s training in the pure and true Hwarang system while serving in the U.S. Army on the zone (DMZ). I brought back the true Hwarang system which is NOT called Hwarang-Do this is not the true system of Hwarang. There is no “Do” on the end of Hwarang. Do is Japanese. To stay away from this name Hwarang-Do (Hapkido) which is not true Hwarang, I renamed Hwarang and founded the Hwa Rang Mul Sul system meaning “Flowering Knights Martial Techniques”.
I teach the pure and true system of Hwarang to which I have never added techniques from any other styles and or tactics. I have NEVER trained under any other system or any other master or teacher…only under my master of Hwarang Master Kim, Cheung Lee who was part Chinese and Korean and the last Hwarang masters in South Korea during the 60’s. I have carried on his teachings of pure and true Hwarang to this day and have never watered down or added to the system ever.
We are NOT any part of the Joo Bang Lee association what so ever and never will be not even when I trained in Korea during the 60’s and we are NOT Hwarang-do or any part of that system of Hwarang-do…they are totally different. We are Hwa Rang Mul Sul, NOT Hwarang-do…never will be. Different system totally.
