it is a system used more so by the north korean military it is a hybird of taekwondo hapkido and kuk sool won..from what i have read its more of a "system" than a traditional martial art...there is a club at yahoo for this system..i havent visited it in a while due to lack of activity on the site..

i would say that hwarang do's biggest strength is also it's weakness: there's so much material that you kind of end up a "jack of all trades, master of none" sort of deal. then you tend to specialize in something, be it weapons, striking, grappling, whatever.

I study Kuk Sool Won.

 

KWS isn't a "style", it is a system of styles - those of the ancient Korean tribal, bhuddist, and royal court martial arts.

 

It does take time to learn the various techniques as you progress up in rank, but I don't see the problem with that.

 

Yes, there may be situations where I haven't yet learned the appropriate technique to handle, but really, show me any martial art that can legitimately claim to teach you how to handle every conceivable scenario in just a few months time.

 

I have a hard time accepting the "time to learn" criteria as being legitimate. If someone told me they could make me a practically invincible fighter in just a couple years, I'd be highly skeptical to say the least.
