What does WonHwaDo mean?

Won means ‘circle’, Hwa means ‘harmony’ and Do means ‘ the way’. So, the fundamental WHD teaching is ‘To create a circular way of harmonious living.’ The basis of the art lies in circular motion, effectively making use of full 360 degree rotations of key joints of the body. This serves to conserve energy and reduce the risk of injury caused by forced linear action.

Also dynamic throwing techniques, joint locks, kicks, punches are freely expressed based on the circular motions of hands, legs and the whole body.

The fundamental life force in WHD is a simple circular motion which is very practical and easy to apply. One can create various techniques applying this simple motion to use in reality of life.
