So in 1960, Dr. Lee divided all of the skills that he had learned from Suahm Dosa into the Hwa Rang Do curriculum that exists today. Hwa Rang Do is an art that contains both martial skills as well as healing skills. Ki power development is taught via specialized breathing and meditation exercises in conjunction with specific physical exercises. The practitioner learns to develop, harness, and apply this human energy resources at will. This internal energy is found in all living creatures, yet in the disciplined study of Hwa Rang Do one can learn to develop this power for truly outstanding displays of human energy and will, extending previously conceived limitations to unlimited possibilities.
Most martial arts are either tense and linear in their orientation or are soft and circular.
Rang Do combines both elements to form a natural and compatible combative system. These applications are taught in their combative form, yet with full control in order to minimize danger to the student. By practicing these diverse aspects, one can regain and maintain health through physical exercise while learning to control any antagonist with one movement. Rang Do techniques are implemented to the degree a particular situation dictates, applying a particular degree of response for each incremental escalation of force. Within this division of Wae Kong you can find over 4,000 techniques in Hwa Rang Do .
