“The level of teachings, and training at The Korean Hwarang Martial Arts Federation® under my husband, Head Master "Hud"is very similar to the teachings I received from my monk in the monastery in South Korea when I was young, it is like returning to Korea when I enter into our dojang each night for training in Everett". "Thank you, my Yobo(Korean for Husband), Master "Hud"!!!”

"In my 20 years of martial arts training in various styles, and am proficient in, many incredible arts, but Hwa Rang Mul Sul, the original art for Korean basis for styles like Hapkido, Tae Kwon Do, Tang Soo Do, to name a few, is the most physiologically precise, effective, and thorough style I've encountered!" "Dosa-nim (Head Master) "Hud" really breaks it down, and personally teaches combative technique, and specific applications (offensive & defensive), concepts, and strategy, with respect, and integrity to every male, and female student in a No-nonsense traditional manner."
"THIS is the style I've been searching for!!"

"About three weeks ago, I began the Forced Yoga Class with Head Master 'Hud' at his Korean Hwarang Martial Arts School. My simple intent was "to exercise, and get fit". Now I have achieved better balance, endurance, core strength, and a flexibility which I have not had in 25 years. My life has changed, as now I find myself wanting to eat healthier foods. The joint pains, and aches I thought were just normal aging has disappeared. I sleep through the night, and feeling better as I learn how to relax with Meditation through Head Master 'Hud's teachings".
"If you want results, come join me in this class with Master 'Hud'. I have had several personal trainers at different health clubs, and have taken Yoga Classes before, but Head Master 'Hud' emphasizes proper technique, and positioning correctly so there is no risk of injury.
If I can do it, so can you".

"Raising two daughters, is in it itself, is an awesome responsibility. While my two daughters are both confident, and self-assured. I have always endeavored to give them both the room to mature in a World free of violence, profanity, and inappropriate conduct".
"As a former U.S. Naval Officer, and Navy pilot, I also realized that there would come a time that both my daughters would need to be introduced to the martial arts of Hwa Rang Mu Sul, and the necessities of the training for self-defense, but in a program that embraces honor, and discipline, while execrates profanity, inappropriate behavior, and also encourages, and builds upon strength of each individual's spirit".
"The Hwarang Martial Arts program that is taught by Dosa-nim(Head Master) 'Hud', and Dosa-nim(Master) 'Kum', is precisely that".
"I am now training with my two daughters under Head Master 'Hud', and hope to share the bonds of this fellowship from this life experience to the next".

"When I first heard that my brother was attending the Hwarang Martial Arts, I decided to start with him for support to learn how to defend myself, and receive a great workout. Little did I know I would benefit with something much more, from history to traditions, culture, to learning more ways to deal with my troubled wrists, and my back problems in two weeks than I have in many years of doctor's appointments"."Never did I anticipate how their teachings would change my whole outlook on life, and my confidence I haven't felt in years. This art has giving me a goal that I strive to achieve, and the discipline I've been lacking in my chaotic life, and a drastic change to not only my physique, but my mind as well".
"There is an integrity, and honesty to their teachings that is very genuine, and refreshing. Everyday I look forward to focusing my time to improving my techniques, and expanding my mind".
"So heres to you, Dosa-nim(Head Master) 'Hud', and Dosa-nim(Master) 'Kum' for everything you've given me so far, and the many years to come with you".

"After years of being out of shape and having an almost daily discomfort in my back, I started training at The Korean Hwarang Martial Arts Federation. Within 2 weeks I noticed an improvement not only in my back, but also in my strength, endurance and flexibility. Three months later I have lost a decent amount of weight and I feel better both physically and mentally than I have in a long time".
"Head Master Hud's instruction and training methods are rooted in old Korean history and traditions, instilling confidence and teaching combative skills that are applicable to real modern day situations. With a unique style of blending both advanced and beginner techniques when teaching new students, the novice can obtain useful offensive skills from day one".
"Where many martial arts schools will nickel and dime a student for everything involved in their training, from their uniform to the testing fees when they rank up, The Korean Hwarang Martial Arts Federation® is refreshing, with teachers who seem to truly be teaching for the purpose of spreading their love for the art".
"I would recommend The Korean Hwarang Martial Arts Federation® to anyone seeking traditional training in an authentic combative martial art. The physical benefits andmental discipline are noticeable within the first few weeks of training, and the legitimacy, sincerity and quality of Head Master 'Hud', and teachers is excellent!"

"My first experience of martial arts was taught through a traditional Oriental gentleman who was the keeper of the art, “Shaolin Lohan Pai,” whom I trained under while in service to the military. Ever since this training I have looked for an older style martial arts that believes in pushing your body and mind to its limits." "And well I have found such a home at Hwarang Mul Sul. With the short time training under Master Hud, I have been able to get back my flexibility and power that was lost long ago".
"I have tried different martial art schools at times and never have I been able to find such traditional training as this. I am greatly appreciative that Head Master "Hud" has taken myself and my son on as a student. My 9 year old son and I have been training together for over 3 years now and he loves the competitiveness brought about in Head Master Hud’s classes. Along with a sense of self appreciation my son is learning to take on a new confidence, doing the same training and workouts as the adults do.”

"This is my own little success story on how I lost 37 lbs. in just 2 months studying under Head Master 'Hud' on October 13, 2010. I joined the dojang with 332 lbs on my body. With Head Master 'Hud' guidance, encouragement, and through his teachings in training I was able to loose that 37 lbs., and still continue to do so to this day. My ideal weight I wish to reach is 209 lbs."
"I have plans to join the military, Dosa-nim 'Hud' has also constructed a training program to help me get ready for boot camp. It is going to be a long hard journey for me to lose more weight, and join the military, but with Head Master 'Hud' at my side, and all his knowledge, training, and encouragement I have learned that I can take on the World for once in my life, he has shown me a new way of life with many goals to set that I have never seen, or had before. Thank you Head Master 'Hud'."

"I started martial arts training about 22 years ago. The first style I studied and achieved a black belt in is Tang Soo Do. Since leaving that school I have spent years studying other styles including Kung Fu, Combatan, and Krav Maga. None of the other styles match what you learn when you study under Head Master Hud."
"From the first class it was obvious that he was nothing like any of the other masters I studied under. I am always learning from Head Master Hud, in class as well as in conversation. Two things I have learned about Head Master "Hud" that sets him apart from all other masters regardless of style (which I will get to next) are as follows. First he is not just a martial arts instructor, he is a martial artist. Head Master "Hud' has and continues to live the life of a true warrior. Second he does not just teach martial arts, he makes martial artist. Everything you achieve you earn every step of the way.""Until I started learning Hwarang Mul Sul it was always my opinion that no style was superior to any other. Hwarang Mul Sul is the parentof the Korean styles of martial arts and some others. That and the fact that Head Master Hud teaches the way it was taught back in Old Korea the way it was passed onto Head Master Hud from his master in Korea makes this superior to any schools or styles I have ever encountered. I have lost 20+ lbs. within this training under Head Master Hud's supervision.""You can go to any school and learn martial arts, and in a few years get a black belt. If however your goal is to become a martial artist this is the only school for you."

"Ever since, I was a kid, I have always wanted to join amartial arts class. Problem was, I never had the money, or the time".
"Head Master Hud's classes arevery flexible, and Ienjoy goingwhen I can. I joined the Hwarang school in September, and I've alreadylost over ten pounds! In justfour short months, I'vedropped four pant sizes, and can almostfit into a smaller size already".
My friends and family havenoticed the weight loss, and also thestrength I've started to develop.
The best part, if there's something bothering you, Head MasterHud will listen without judgingandwill offer advice and teach you, thatyou're not alone. I've suffered through depression for my entire life. Head Master Hudconstantly helps me keep my head high, and spirits up.
Ihighly recommendThe Korean Hwarang Martial Arts Federation® to anyone who'll listen. Whether they want to learn a martial arts, or are struggling to lose weight, I will always refer them to Head Master Hud, and the Hwarang school in Everett.
