2nd Grade Red Belt

Form Name: Hwa-Rang (pronounced : Hwa-Wrong)
Named after the the Hwa Rang youth group which originated in the Silla Dynasty about 1350 years ago. This group eventually became the actual driving force for unification of the three Kingdoms of Korea. The 29 movements refer to the 29th infantry division, where Taekwondo developed into maturity.
Theme – The color of the belt represents the flow of sap in a tree. The student feels the energy from the rain and explodes in physical skills – beware, to control the physical by equally developing the mental.
