The idea that hwa rang do is the same art that the old Hwa rangs used is utter bullshit. The idea is crap. Sorry that's just the way it is. Why do you think Hwa rang do not widespread in korea? Becuase anyone who claims to be a practioner of the "old hwa rang do" would be laughed at. The last record of anything remotely related to hwa rang do was during the Shilla dynasty which ended during the 900's. ANYONE who claims to know so called "hwa rang do " is talking out of his arse. Tae Kyun? Yes it was used uptill the japanese occupation. Su-Bak? Not likelly. Koong Jung Mu sul? Perhaps becuase it was used by the Royal guards untill the japanese occupation (and perhaps they passed it on to their children). but friggen hwa rang do ? Give me a break. |
