The name is translated as "flower of youth," or more specifically "the way of the flowering knights." Hwarangdo is a traditional Korean martial art and healing method developed during the Silla Dynasty. The hwarang were young men ranging in age from 13-16 who were selected from noble families. The goal was to maximize their human potential in all aspects, and they were taught warfare, philosophy, literature and the arts. They were also considered bodhisattvas so they went on spiritual pilgrimages to India or China after completing their service to the kingdom as warriors and then officials. Hwarangdo's founder, Grandmaster Lee Joobang, demonstrates a palm back kick against two opponents during outdoor training in Seoul in the 1960s. My father, Lee Joobang, is credited as the founder of hwarangdo as he was the first to systemize all hwarang techniques into modern martial arts. He introduced this martial art to the public in the late 1950s and was officially recognized by the Korean government in 1960.

Hwarang is translated as “Flowering Man” or in this case “Knights” in English. So, Hwa Rang Do means the “Way of the Flowering Knights.” Hwarang were young men or rather teenagers ranging from 13 to 16 years old who were selected from the noble families of Silla. They were trained to become the perfect warrior-scholars, the most of what a human being can become. The goal was to maximize their human potential in all aspects of the self - mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. They were taught in all areas of warfare, philosophy, literature, and the arts, creating the first stylized form of poetry in Korean history called the Hyang-ga. They were also spiritual leaders, considered as Bodhisattvas who went on spiritual pilgrimages to India and China after their services to the Kingdom as warriors, and then statesmen.

The name “Hwarang” itself might seem unusual for a warrior class, but in fact it was the perfect name for the warrior-philosopher/spiritual leader. The name has different levels of meaning. “Hwa-rang” possesses the concept of the Um/Yang Theory of dichotomy within its name. The character of “Hwa” means a flower, the feminine component and the character “Rang” stands for man, the masculine component. Together they symbolize the idea that within the universe exists two polar opposing forces, which created all things within the universe. Furthermore, the flower in Buddhism represents the idea of blossoming, coming into being, achieving enlightenment. Also, the flower possesses the essence of beauty without effort, just by merely existing, by being. This is also the aspiration of the Hwarang – to be beautiful within without effort, to be strong without force.
