The Hwa Rang Do system as taught by Master Kim Myung Man emerged from a vast and full exposure to a wide range of styles and principles during the 1960s and 1970s.
Naturally, there was some fertilisation of basic Tae Kwon Do from the more 'complete' styles, but since students in the "basic" styles were grounded in the basics of the simplified material, progress to high levels is much harder for them.
Inclusion of Tae Kwon Do into the school system and as a competition sport saw a development of Sport Tae Kwon Do, which omitted many aspects including throws and locks, vital point work, Ki training, and finishing techniques - in many styles, the knowledge of more dangerous material was restricted to 5th Dan and above.
