Hwa-Rang

The Hwa-Rang Warriors program is named after the elite Hwa-Rang warriors of the Silla dynasty of ancient Korea.  This group was ancient Korea's version of our Navy Seals and considered to be some of the best martial artist in orient at that time. 

In honor of that strong tradition we have created this program for those students that love TaeKwon-Do but want more!  In this program Mr. McDaniel has drawn upon his Aikido and Jujitsu background to develop a program that teaches grappling, throws, releases and these five weapons: Escrima, Nanchaku, Staff, Sai, Tonfa & Kama.

While Mr. McDaniel is not a supporter of the current Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) craze (he feels it doesn't promote any of the positive character building qualities of true martial arts programs.  He also finds fault in getting in a ring just to see who the "Toughest" person is).  However, we do feel that he has created one of the most rounded multi-art programs in the Madison area, all based on traditional martial arts that he has gained black belt rank in.

This program is only available to students in our TaeKwon-Do program that have shown strong focus and a desire to learn and is by invitation only.
