2 years ago my son wanted to start practicing martial arts. After trying different places we decided that our search ended when we found this place. We both started practicing since then. Hwa Rang Do is more than kicking and punching, it is a complete martial art that includes weapons form, and grappling from white belt. This is a great way to develop self control, self confidence and focus. I am 46 years old, practicing Tae Soo Do keeps my joints moving and my mind sharp. One of the best decisions I have made.
Hwa Rang Do / Tae Soo Do is near and dear to my heart. It is truely a complete martial art incorporating Karate, Kung Fu, Judo, grappling, weapons, and more. I began taking it in the 1980s, and I returned to it many years later 30+ years, because I know it's the best. Most people that come to Hwa Rang Do from other martial arts are impressed with what they learn, and see what they have been missing. I highly recommend it.
It's truly a rare experience, when you have the opportunity to be trained by a martial arts living legend and hall of famer. After decades of teaching the best martial artists in the world, Hwa Rang Do Founder, Dr. Joo Bang Lee continues to personally teach all whom desire - young, old, tall or short - this powerful martial arts system. If you have an opportunity and live near Tustin, this is the martial arts academy to be at!
I travel 5 hours just to train for my health, endurance, and to balance my life. The most complete Authentic Martial art ever!! Like no other art it is also a healing art.
