Introduction: How is HWA RANG DO different from Karate or Tae Kwon Do?
HWA RANG DO has been compared to Tai Chi and Chi (Qi) Gung due to it focus on breathing techniques and therapeutic exercises. Because of its throws and deflection techniques it has been compared to Aikido, HapKido and Ju-Jitsu; and because it had kicks and punches it has been compared to Tae Kwon Do and Karate. But Hwa Rang Do is all of that and more; it has been called a complete martial art.
