Hwa Rang Do is a Korean martial art that was developed in the 1960s by Joo Bang Lee and his brother Joo Sang Lee. Hwa Rang Do teaches fighting techniques, weapons, spiritual training, intellectual enhancement, and artistic pursuits. ==History== The name ''Hwa Rang Do'' is Korean for "The way of the Flowering Knights". It was named after the Hwarang, a buddhist elite youth order of the Silla kingdom during the Three-Kingdoms Period, in what is now Korea. The Hwarang were, basically, voluntary child soldiers consisting of older children, teenagers, and young adults who came mostly from aristocratic families, and who were educated in artistic, academic, and martial fields of study. Joo Bang Lee's martial arts training started with his father who taught him Judo and Kendo at a young age. Then in 1942, a monk named Suahm Dosa took in Joo Bang Lee and his brother, Joo Sang Lee, to his home for training. (Note that "Dosa" is actually his title, and it is roughly equivalent to "hermit sage expert".) They trained with Suahm Dosa at the Suk Wang Sa Temple in the Ham Nam province of North Korea, before later escaping south with him and the rest of their family to Seoul. (Suahm Dosa had no formal syllabus to teach them.) Suahm Dosa relocated to Ohdae Mountain shortly afterwards. The Lee brothers continued their training with Suahm Dosa until 1950 when they moved further south to Taegu. There, they met a martial artist named Choi Yong-sul, who was the father of Hapkido. They continued their training with Choi through the 1950s and became registered Hapkido instructors in Seoul in the early 1960s. They stayed involved with the Hapkido community in Korea until the late 1960s. In 1968, Suahm Dosa died and left the title of "Do Jo" to Joo Bang Lee, making him the 58th successive holder of this title. The brothers then took all their martial art knowledge and generated the Hwa Rang Do syllabus from scratch, and continued with their teaching of Hwa Rang Do. In 1972, Joo Bang Lee moved to California, taking the World Headquarters of Hwa Rang Do with him. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hwa Rang Do」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
