Is there any where I can find the full cycle of Hwarang do kicks on the internet? I want to compare them to TaeKwoDo kicks.

Wow good thing I can take criticism.glad2bhere said:OK, I KNOW I am going to get myself into trouble for this, but I just GOTTA ask!! What are you going to use the information for? Lets take a look at your question piece by piece, do you mind?
First off, there is no such thing as a "Hwa Rang Do" kick. If you are thinking of the kicking techniques done by the practitioners of the art practiced by Joo Bang Lees' WHRDA then what you want to do is back up one generation to Kim, Moo Woong from whom Lee got his kicking material and look at that. In all earnestness I must tell you that few historians can agree on what the Hwa Rang were let alone what they practices or how so I suspect this modern namesake is about all you have to work with.
Secondly if you want to do a comparison, I suggest you compare apples to apples as the saying goes. Hapkido is SD. TKD is a sport. The goals and applications of the two arts are different, ergo the execution is different. Want to compare things? Compare Early Choi material of Hapkido proceeding from Kim, Moo Woong and that proceeding from Ji Han Jae. Both are Hapkido approaches. Want to compare TKD, try ITF and WTF.
Lastly, there is SO MUCH stuff out on the Internet I am wondering why you are taking time to ask what has been explained and re-explained many, many times. If you are seriously interested in either TKD or HKD how about doing some grunt-work and getting some background information first and then bringing THAT to the table for discussion. Dr He-Young Kimms' book, "HAPKIDO" and "HAPKIDO II" are both excellent resources. Myung Kwang Sik wrote one of the first English-language books on Hapkido and General Choi wrote an exhaustive series on the art including his admonition to practitioners that they avail themselves of Hapkido to bolster the failings of TKD in the SD dept.
I guess I am wondering, if your question is important enough to enter into an international venue such as this, how much you are willing to look for an answer and how much you are asking to have things spoonfed to you? Thoughts?
Best Wishes,

I may off-base here but I think a full listing can be found on the same site as the complete catalog of Chinese Boxing strikes, the Unabridged Listing of Wrestling Grapples, The Offical Compendium of White Sox Bat Swings and the Great Book Steeler Interceptions.

I suppose it would be appropriate to ask, what exactly do you mean by the "full cycle" of HRD kicks?TKD USA said:Is there any where I can find the full cycle of Hwarang do kicks on the internet? I want to compare them to TaeKwoDo kicks.
