PATTERN HWA-RANG

  

The meaning of the pattern Hwa Rang:

 

Hwa Rang is named after the Hwa Rang youth group, which originated in the Silla Dynasty in the early 7th century.  This group eventually became the actual driving force for the unification of the three kingdoms of Korea.  The 29 movements refer to the 29th Infantry Division, where Taekwon-Do developed into maturity.

 

Hwa Rang has 29 movements and its diagram is a capital “I”.
