OldRookie Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Kick_azz I can't say from my own experience-just what I have read & heard but Hwa Rang Do sounds great for self defense. If had the chance (-& a dojang for it) I would like to take up Hwa Rang Do OR Hapkido as they seem more combat oriented. *1st Dan Oct 2004*"Progress lies not enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.""It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them."
