The West Coast Hwa Rang Do® Academy (WCHRDA) is a traditional martial arts school, which teaches and maintains the high values and moral ethics of classic Eastern philosophies. The school opened in 1994 and is headed by Chief Master Taejoon Lee. Chief Master Lee is a 7th Degree HRD Black Sash, and is the eldest son of the Founder, Dr. Joo Bang Lee. Though the goals are serious, and the training rigorous, the Academy provides a warm and friendly environment for all--men, women and children.
So far I have only had the opportunity to train at a beginner level, but I can easily say Hwa Rang Do has been one of the most important decisions of my life. HRD is so much more than the typical martial art; it produces leaders. Grandmaster Lee is a true leader, and listening to his seminars and life stories is nothing short of amazing.
The efficiency of this particular art is undeniable as is the skill level of Tae Joon Lee. Secondly is the way the students are constantly motivated to improve in their chosen art and in their daily lives.
I think the art of Hwa Rang Do is a good one and know the instructors are first class.
Hwa Rang Do(r) is a really amazing experience - a never ending journey to stenghten your body, your mind, your spirit. Moreover, the West Coast Hwa Rang Do(r) Academy is lead by Grandmaster Taejoon Lee, which is a really extraordinary master, not to mention the fact he's the son of the Founder!

Grandmaster Lee is one of the best martial artists and teachers in the US.
Grandmaster Lee is a complete and true Martial Artist whom has devoted his life to spread this wondeful and unique martial art.
West Coast HRD has been a life changing experience for myself and my wife. I highly recommend for that Master Lee is truly one of the greats!
A strong martial art for all body types, all that seek discipline, focus, and personal growth. If you seek an instructor that will be honest and caring enough to push, then you find Grand Master Lee.
If you are seeking to protect yourself as a lady, and walk with grace and self-confidence. Find Grand Master Lee.
If you are someone seeking the ability to force your will on others and have people to boss around, then you would be in the wrong spot. There are many great lessons to be learned from Hwa Rang Do, and Grand Master Lee. Know thyself, don't lie to yourself, and be an asset to society.
Hi there, if you really study,training and find your way into hwarangdo than it said enough, greetings René
I have been in the Martial Arts for over 40 years and have interacted with many instructors and styles. I am the highest ranked person in my style, Chuan Fas Ssu Ren, and almost all other instructors only want to fight to prove they are the best rather than share knowledge and grow. Master Lee has not done that and has respect for other styles and is willing to learn what is to be taught. He is teaching the art as is was meant to be taught...with respect and humility for people and life. He teaches real martial arts that people can actually use.
Grandmaster Lee is easily the best martial artist I have ever met in my life, and his academy is one where quality is the TOP concern.
I would recommend West Coast Hwa Rang Do Academy because of the integrity of the instructors and their technique! I am a 7th degree black belt in Tang Soo Do with over 30 years teaching experience. and, I coached two top U.S. Junior Olympic Tae Kwon Do teams. So, the art and style Hwa Rang Do is not mine. And, I am not affiliated with Master Lee in any way. I have looked at the different schools and their websites, videos and overall presentation. I have to say this school and its approach is the best I have seen. My instructor told me many years ago that courtesy and proper respectful ettiquette are the most important things in martial arts. It is not about being tough or even the best competitively. The true winner is one who learns the most and wants to improve as a human being. That is the attitude and spirit I see in Master Lee's students. And, that is what will give you the victory in all aspects of life. I applaud and congratulate Master Lee and his ability to inspire his students to strive for excellence on and off the mat!
Because Master Lee is one of the most amazing martialartists I have ever had the pleasure of viewing.
Because Master Lee is of high standards. He walks the walk and talks the talk. An amazing young man.
Expert instruction. Full, comprehensive martial arts training - not just standard kicks and punches. You learn weapons, grappling, performance and spiritual development. For a complete martial arts experience, this is the only school that delivers.
Grandmaster Lee is amazing!
I recomend hwa rang do because it is so comprehensive..it is the real deal. I was lucky enough to see our special forces [seals] training in this art while in the service..It,s awesome., I've compared it to many martial arts over the years,none have come close to what I've learned from hwa rang do..The system itself,is build on tried and true techniques, that are based on the anatomy of the human body..There is a reason for everything that you do in hwa rang do.. Nothing is left to chance. This is why I recomend this martial art school over all the others. A. Jauregui
This Hwa Rang Do Academy is Awesome!!! I have two boys 6 and 8 who are both Black Belts and they love training at this academy. They learn Humanity, Justice, Courtesy, Wisdom, Trust, Goodness, Virtue, Loyalty, Courage and much, much more!!!
Hwa Rang Do is an all encompassing art with universal philosophy that is taught by an amazing leader- Grandmaster Lee. Grandmaster Lee is not only exceptional in skill. But, is a true leader because he leads by example. If martial arts are your path, you must check out Hwa Rang Do!
