http://www.CompleteMartialArt.com

This is the second half of the Hwa Rang Do® demonstration that took place in October, 2006 at the 7th World Martial Art Expo in Carson, California.

Here, the members of the West Coast Hwa Rang Do® Demo Team show an impressive display of its multifaceted nature using the staff, spear, sword, fans, and takedowns. The final demonstration was conducted by Chief Master Taejoon Lee himself as he runs through a gauntlet of different submissions techniques from various positions using various joints.

The entire demonstration was concluded with the formal traditional bowing to the audience and to each other.

I have a serious question. Can a mere fan block a kick or is it just to make a show?

[WCHwaRangDo]

Of course. Anything when used properly can be a tool or a weapon to enhance what you already possess. That is the nature of weaponry when truly understood.

I took Hwarangdo form 1999 to 2002. Back then I was a kid and didn't appreciate it, i wanted to learn Taekwondo which seemed more useful. Now that I've taken TKD i really want to go back to HRD;but, there are no schools around that teach that. I see that Hwarangdo is a better style. It doesn't put as much strain on you like TKD which is good considering I'm overweight. Just goes to show you you don't know what you have till its gone. It's a complete style that i would recommend to anyone.

After training in various styles for 10 years prior to starting Hwa Rang Do I can safely say that it is the most complete martial art in my portfolio to date. Good system with a lot of history.

@GhostxHdK The answer is yes! :D

@tyreal2004 the fan's weight is about 6 to 10 lbs, think again if a 10 lbs fan can block a kick

@vze21gwa Yeah TKD has roots in HRD

i agree, joo ban lee did a really good job of demostrating the jiujutsu side of the MA. Alot of it is very similar to BJJ, there were alot of variations of the ankle locks and the kimura. The only different i see is the application of wrist locks on the ground.

Yeh i reakon this is a pretty complete well rounded traditional martial arts compared to the rest.

Being practical is not the single goal of why and what we do. We are scholar warriors, (martial) artists, and our ultimate goal is to maximize our human potential, acquiring true balance and harmony. We're not just about self-defense, but artists who appreciates esthetics, symmetry and intellect. Furthermore, we are also preserving the ancient tradition of a warrior class that existed over 1600 years ago.
