Reflections from Susuk Kwanjangnim
Sitting astride his warhorse, the thirteen-year-old
Hwarang let the weight of command settle across his shoulders. As
the eldest son, he knew that not only his, but his family's, future
rested on the decisions he would make from then on. In true fashion
of the warrior-poets who unified his land, he never questioned whether
he could achieve greatness, or whether he would secure that future.
The only question that burned from his gaze was how.
Thirty years later, Taejoon Lee finds himself
answering the question he posed to himself so long ago. With hundreds
of rang do (students) under his direct tutelage, and thousands more
internationally following the martial way, Susuk Kwanjangnim(Chief
Master) is poised to achieve a monumental feat.
The Kwan Chang Chronicles sat with Chief Master
Lee to discuss his achievement, and get his reflections from thirty
years of teaching Hwa Rang Do in the United States, and what he envisions
for the coming years.

KCC: Susuk Kwanjangnim, what is the most vital aspect
of your teaching? What one thing do you hope students take away from
their training?
ML: When you look back into the history of the Hwarang
and whom they were, their martial training was not just to develop
skills for combat, they were life skills as well. Everything they
did, be it raise a family, the arts, teach, heal, etc. was guided
and congruent with how they lived as warriors. In battle, there are
no excuses. Failure was equivalent to dying. Now even though in our
modern everyday lives, we normally don’t pay that high of a
price for our failures, as modern warriors we need to be guided by
that same philosophy. I always tell my students, “don’t
be the exception, be exceptional”.
That being said, often in life we do fail and make
mistakes. Once a mistake has occurred, there’s nothing you can
do to change it – it’s in the past. But as warriors if
we have faltered and still have the opportunity to live on, we must
view that failure as an opportunity to learn and grow and continue
moving forward with our new found wisdom.
Most people view failure or success as the only two
possible outcomes for a venture. But there are many opportunities
for personal growth as you work toward achieving your objective. Only
focusing on the outcome can be dangerous, because it opens you up
to temptation – to cheating your way to get to the end, cutting
corners or even just becoming complacent.
But as warriors, the journey and how we conduct ourselves
and what we gain during that journey is just as important. Every great
warrior, every great leader shares an inherent dissatisfaction with
status quo and a desire to challenge themselves, to become better
people in the process of achieving one’s goals. As a result,
the journey becomes even more important than arriving at your destination.
From international martial arts exhibitions and seminars,
to private instruction where he teaches one-to-one, Master Lee has
taught thousands of people Hwa Rang Do’s martial way. We asked
him, then, what has the largest obstacle been to imparting the Hwarang
philosophy to the public at large.
ML: In our western society, we have become conditioned
and told that it is acceptable to avoid responsibility for ourselves.
It’s even engrained in our legal system, where they make a distinction
between premeditated murder and just murder… “crimes of
passion” versus just crime. This conditions us to believe that
there are times when we can avoid taking full responsibility for our
own actions. This is ridiculous. Everything we do and don’t
do, is our responsibility regardless of the circumstance!
This is my biggest challenge, but it is also my responsibility
as a teacher to help everyone who walks into my dojang understand
this. From the little tiger who forgets his sparring gear to the adult
students not taking responsibility for their test material, everyone
is accountable for their own actions. If a little tiger comes to the
dojang without the necessary equipment, it’s not the parent’s
responsibility, it’s the little tiger’s responsibility
and he/she is the one who will be disciplined. Of course, for children
the ultimate responsibility lies with the parents to teach their children
responsibility, respect, honor, etc. Then, Hwa Rang Do becomes a tool
for parents to teach the youth these ideals.
The encouraging part about my job is that as students
progress to the higher levels of Tae Soo Do and into Hwa Rang Do,
most do become more responsible and self-critical. It’s a great
joy of mine to watch them mature and progress.
However, I also rarely acknowledge my students for
these achievements, because I want them to improve for themselves,
and not for the sake of pleasing me. It is very difficult for me to
bottle up this silent pride for my students. There is nothing more
I want to do than to hug them and tell them “great job”.
But, I am reluctant to do this because I want them to be proud of
themselves, while still never being satisfied and remain hungry for
more.
KCC: How do you translate that concept to the dojang?
ML: Well, my life’s journey as a teacher has
taught me quite a bit as you can imagine. Early on, I focused a lot
on techniques, application and execution of Hwa Rang Do inside the
dojang. While obviously, there is no one more strict on the proper
execution of techniques than I, instilling my students with the desire
to better themselves has taken precedent over anything else. I want
my students to be able to be self-critical and stand up to the challenges
in their lives, no matter the circumstance.
Don’t’ misunderstand me, I have excellent
students. They are the best! However, we must all strive to improve
ourselves, our lives, our environment and those around us . . . until
we reach our full potential. That is what it means to be a Hwarang
– a warrior.
As Hwarang, we don’t seek to improve to please
others or win a prize or medal. Achieving one’s human potential
means achieving and doing as much as you possibly can during your
lifetime, with your God given strengths and overcoming any weaknesses
or shortcomings.
KCC: Besides teaching, how are you striving to reach
your full potential?
ML: Fifty knuckle push-ups! (laughing) Just kidding.
Over the past 15 years, I’ve been working to fulfill a dream
of mine. It is to improve upon our kumdo (the Korean version of Japanese
kendo) techniques. I have developed a new set of techniques to be
added to the traditional mori, hori and son strikes. When I started,
I did not know how I would do this, but I knew it was a goal worth
striving for. Constantly challenging myself with new dreams and goals
is how I reach for my full potential. Will I ever get there? That’s
unimportant; what is important is that I die trying.
KCC: What were the obstacles in fulfilling your dream?
ML: This is changing hundreds of years of tradition!
I had the idea, but I couldn’t just introduce the concept. I
had to set the foundation – before I could create the proper
armor, I had to develop the students who could properly execute the
techniques of kumdo and the Hwarang Kum Sul (Hwa Rang Do sword techniques).
This is the legacy that I will leave behind to future Hwarangs.
This isn’t capricious, this is methodical. I had to be able
to envision this change fifteen years out, to work on it, develop
the techniques and train students in the new techniques.
KCC: So as you encourage and challenge your students
. . .
ML: I continue to challenge myself. It is liberating
to have achieved this, but I strove because the journey was important.
And each of us should continue to do this in our lives. We train to
afford ourselves very real challenges, to push ourselves and to grow.
This is more than a formula, more than a set of numbers to add up
and say “Ah! I have the answer!” No, this is not it. It
is defining perfection, establishing goals, and then working until
you’ve achieved them. No one is going to reach perfection. It
is an impossibility. But in striving for perfection, in attempting
to reach the infinite possibilities in all of us, THAT is where we
experience growth!
I look at the Hwarang way of life, the philosophy of growth and achievement,
and I want to share it with as many people as possible. Where else
in our modern society does someone experience the challenges necessary
to grow on a regular basis? Think about it. The characteristics you
need to succeed in training - discipline, perseverance, awareness,
balance – are the same characteristics you need to succeed in
life.
Do Joo Nim once told me a story that his master
told him: A man wanted to climb a mountain, wanted to achieve something
in his life. So he set out up the mountain. He worked and sweated,
strained and struggled, but finally, he stood on the peak. He achieved
it. The wind was cool, chilling him. The sun shone bright, and the
colors of the mountain were bright and vivid. Slowly, he turned all
the way around, looking out across the vast range. Do you know what
he saw? More peaks.
This is life. This is our philosophy. This is our
way. Once you have achieved something, earned it, worked at it, there
are other peaks to climb. But you do so with the confidence that comes
from having reached the first peak. And the converse is, those who
never try to climb the mountain, who never reach the first peak, don’t
know what is possible, don’t know about the other peaks, because
they haven’t conquered themselves, conquered their fears and
attempted anything at all. This is the Hwarang way. Once you know
that you can achieve in here (in the dojang), once you see that discipline
and practice, awareness and balance, that perseverance allow you to
achieve, then what is there you cannot achieve in life?
KCC: Is this something you believe people can achieve
by themselves?
ML: No. No one can do it alone. Everyone is in need
of ongoing mentorship, including myself. I will be disciplining a
student for some transgression, challenging them to help them learn
and grow, and days later, Do Joo Nim, my teacher, would be disciplining
me for the exact same thing! This just shows that we all need a teacher,
a mentor, someone to help us become honest with ourselves and be self-critical.
For most of us, being self-critical is very difficult, because most
human beings have a very high opinion of themselves, and we often
need someone to step in and point out where we are lacking integrity.
That is why beyond teaching and training, I am also going to begin
offering Life Coaching.
KCC: For students?
ML: For students. For non-students. For everyone.
As I said before, the Hwarang didn’t just train for combat,
their martial training served as a compass for their lives. Through
live coaching, Hwa Rang Do will be able to reach a portion of humanity,
which would otherwise not benefit from our training as life’s
warriors.
This may seem like a lofty goal, but I’ve
yet to find anything else, which offers more of an opportunity for
personal growth and achieving one’s potential, than Hwa Rang
Do. Life coaching is yet another peak to climb, with many more to
follow.
Since 30 years cannot be summarized into a few mere
paragraphs, our interview with Chief Master Lee will be continued
in the next issue of the Kwan Chang Chronicles.
The Gotoogi/ Hwarang Kumsul
Challenge 2008
As afternoon shifted to evening, the focus of the
dojang shifted from the mats to the wood. The Hwa Rang Kum Sul matches
demonstrated intricacy, skill, cunning and intense desire. The combatants
circled like panthers and struck like lightning. Kyosanim Jerry Kang
defeated Sabumnim Scott Macknight in a five-minute continuous match
which held everyone in thrall!
All the competitors exemplified the highest standards
of honor, integrity, respect and courage as they tested and bested
themselves! Next up, the World Hwa Rang Do Championships in July!
Hwarang Forever!

AWESOME JOB EVERYONE!
Conquering the Mountain, Challenging
Ourselves: The Annual TGT Snowboarding Trip
Each year, Susuk Kwanjangnim leads the Teuk Gong
Team across glistening slopes, up and down mountains, through the
trees. A time of introspection, reflection and challenge, many of
the TGT use the opportunity to do and try things they’ve never
done before. In keeping with the adage, “You never know your
limits until you’ve blown right past them,” some of us
were strapping on boards for the very first time, while others (including
Master Lee) have been shredding for years. Regardless, each pushed
him or herself to see what was possible; to learn how much we’ve
grown, and to see how much there still is to master.
Luke Kiefer (A Teen TGT Member):
The TGT snowboarding trip to Mammoth was an amazing adventure. Having
never snowboarded before, I felt that it would be a great experience.
When we arrived, I could not stop marveling at the large pine trees,
amazing view, and most of all, the snow. As Instructor Day took me
to the ski lift for my first run, I felt excited and ready to take
on anything. After strapping my second foot into the bindings of the
snowboard, I hurried myself to the slight incline of the hill. Instructor
Day told me to practice leaning back on my heels to turn for the first
run.
I was too anxious to pay close attention to what
he said, and started to slide down the slope. I then proceeded to
fall into an embankment of trees! Instructor Day just laughed and
helped me out of the ditch. This time, I paid attention, using my
heels to turn. As my snowboard gently glided down the hill, I applied
pressure on my heels. Amazingly, I began to turn! But this celebration
was short lived, because I then fell backward into the snow. I realized
snowboarding would be much harder to learn than I expected.
By the end of the trip, I was boarding down intermediate
and black diamond runs. But this trip was about much more than learning
how to snowboard. I had created a stronger bond between me and everyone
on TGT. They have all become family to me. I also learned how to be
responsible and independent by keeping the room that I shared with
Larry, Thebe, and Marco, in order without my parents there to remind
me. Lastly, it taught me to be persistent and try my best in everything
because with this sort of attitude, you can accomplish anything.
Luis & Chy-Anh (& Ba Thanh) (A HRD
Couple of Brown Sashes): Even though we’ve been on
a few trips (4 for Luis, 4 for Chy-Anh, 2 for Ba Thanh - we've got
ultrasounds to prove it!), we still consider ourselves new riders.
Friday morning found Fernando in a chef's hat, getting us filled up.
He was cracking eggs with one hand, preparing breakfast sausages with
another, and scrambling eggs with another (huh?). We hit the slopes
with a full tank. Lunch was provided by Chy-Anh. Her homemade Pho
kept us warm from the inside, and possibly made us faster. Forget
waxing the board; just have a bowl of Ms. Trans Pho! Dinner was a
real highlight! Provided by... none other than MASTER LEE himself!
Believe it! It was certainly "Delicious." Christian earned
the 2008 meatball champion award and actually went for thirds. The
Friday crew arrived late in the evening, but stayed up and continued
interesting discourse with Master Lee until after 3am Saturday, Ba
Thanh played with a bunch of Little Penguins in the Mammoth Small
World, while we all explored the mountains. Ms. Tran picked up right
where she left off two years prior, pulling stunts like repeated 520s.
Rumor was Christian Boothby pulled off repeated face plants. It was
a tremendous day! How I missed the annual Hwato game, I'll never know.
I really thought I had a shot at the title this year. Next year, for
sure!
My best memory was one run we took as a group that
was formed like a pipe. A spectacular collision in this pipelike run
through the forest with Mr. Kiefer was icing on the cake. But he jumped
up (with a little help) and kept right on down the mountain. Of course,
taking the Gondola to the very top of the mountain could not be beat!
It was a fun trip, but we have learned a few lessons along the way:
1) It's not over until it's over. Carving the mountain at over 10,000
feet takes a lot of physical stamina -- but it takes even more mental
discipline to progress and enjoy. Sometimes when a crash seems imminent,
it isn't. Sometimes, a defiant shout and mental refusal to go down
is all it takes to relax the mind and body, avoid panic, and to recover
from what seems like inevitable doom. Just got to keep the faith and
believe in yourself; and 2) Know your limits. But do not be limited
by them.
Christian Boothby (A HRD Purple Sash):
On a late Thursday night the Hwa Rang Do ski trip experience begun.
TGT members loaded up their cars and set off on their journey to Mammoth
Mountain. I was in Mr. Pheffer’s car, which included Master
Lee, Instructor Klein and myself. The ride up to Mammoth was a very
tense experience, as Mr. Pheffer was defying Master Lee. The outcome
of this defiance was a memorable lesson in which the moral was to
‘take responsibility for your actions and then fix the current
situation.’ We soon arrived at the mountain.
The next day we went up the mountain. It was a slow
day, as everyone was either learning how or remembering how to snowboard.
By the afternoon the rest of the TGT party was at the mountain. We
conversed and celebrated our joy for keeping such great company. Later
that night Master Lee held a discussion where we relayed our thoughts
and showed our concern for maintaining honorable life codes. Saturday
we awoke ready to ride the slopes. Jokyo Day, Nick Pheffer and I decided
that we would conquer the mountain ourselves. Sometime during the
day Nick Pheffer tried to teach me how ride through moguls. I failed
miserably and ended up face down in the icy snow! This did not stop
me. After breaking my nose I got up, KIAPED loudly (letting everyone
hear my power), and continued down the mountain.
The last day of the ski trip was amazing. Master
Lee led a group to the top of the mountain. We went down the cornice
at high speeds, letting everyone around know that we were determined
to conquer the mountain. The day went by very quickly as it was by
far the most exciting day. Soon after we were packing our bags and
preparing to go home. As we zipped down the mountain, the snow became
mats and the trees became walls.
We tested ourselves out there the same way we push
and test ourselves in here, in the Dojang. Being together encouraged
us to try harder, and being on the snow gave us a new way to test
some old lessons. As we grew with each year, as we challenged ourselves,
we bring back to the dojang and the rest of the students a renewed
commitment to Hwa Rang Do, to our training, teaching, and to each
other. Hwarang Forever!
“How do you eat a whole cow?
One bite at a time.”
Master Lee and the Teuk Gong Team ate at Ham Hung
Restaurant in Koreatown for the April TGT dinner. Master Lee said
we ate a whole cow and it certainly did seem like it. All the different
kinds of meat just kept coming and coming until we were all stuffed.
Fernando manned the grill at our table and did an awesome job. Despite
filling up on meat, we still topped it all off with some delicious
noodles. The lesson that we learned, taking things step by step, is
that no task is too large to be accomplished.
During dinner, Master Lee also reminisced about
the last Korea trip, getting us excited about the return trip scheduled
for 2009. He told us about how they had two tour buses, which generated
friendly competition. Even the tour guides joined in. Hearing those
stories really whetted our appetites for the next trip. The conversation
then turned to some upcoming martial arts films, ending in an interesting
discussion of The Karate Kid and its impact on martial arts membership.
We also discussed the upcoming events at our school
including the 14th anniversary demo, the World Hwa Rang Do Championships,
and the summer seminars. It looks to be an exciting and busy summer.
It was really nice to just sit back and relax with everyone for a
night and also to get everyone together as a send off for Master Lee
who left town shortly thereafter. With all the upcoming events, it
is important to remember that even though this summer will be a busy
one at the dojang, we can all make it a successful one by putting
in the time and training right now, taking small bites of the cow
one at a time, so that we can finish the whole thing . . . successfully.
Midwest Regional Interschool Championships
2008:
On Saturday, April 26, 2008, Hwa Rang Do® and
Tae Soo Do® warriors from across the Midwest congregated in Sun
Prairie, WI to compete in the Midwest Hwa Rang Do/Tae Soo Do Championships.
The tournament was hosted by, Master David Kijek. When asked about
the tournament Master Kijek said, “This year marked our tenth
anniversary for the tournament, and it is only fitting that it turned
out to be our largest ever. I really look forward to this event every
year because it is a wonderful opportunity for all of our Midwest
Hwa Rang Do family to come together to test their skills, make new
friends, and strengthen existing friendships. We consider this our
family reunion.” Black sashes and students from throughout Wisconsin,
Minnesota, and Illinois were in attendance.
Not only was it the best attended, but the level
of competition was at an all time high. This year we noticed that
all of the clubs and schools really stepped up their preparation.
We saw a lot of consistency and balance between all of the schools
and clubs. Students competed in M.A.S.T.R.S.’s Rules point sparring,
empty hand forms, and weapon forms. In addition, spectators and participants
were treated to an explosive Black Sash demonstration including dynamic
self-defense skits, weapon demonstrations, and Ki power demonstrations.
In addition, it is our tradition, to conduct a Break-A-Thon. This
year proceeds went to support the World Hwa Rang Do Association’s
Legal Fund. The day wrapped up with a team sparring competition. Eight
teams valiantly fought for the coveted Team Sparring Championship
trophy. This year, Instructor Dean’s team from the Madison-West
Academy defeated Instructor Sirny’s Minneapolis Academy and
took home the trophy for the second consecutive year.
Following the tournament, hungry spectators and
participants headed to a local restaurant for a banquet and awards
ceremony. The evening ended with a gift of appreciation being given
to Master Kijek from the students. Students returned home with tired
bodies, full bellies, and a renewed spirit to train harder in hopes
of performing even better next year.
