Luxembourg Crowned World Champion of Hwa Rang Do, it beats the USA! | #Sports  | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it

Luxembourg has been named this year’s World Champion of Hwa Rang Do, an ancient Korean martial art.

The national Luxembourg team has come away from the Annual Hwa Rang Do World Championships, held on 30 June and 1 July 2019 in the Italian province of Tuscany, with the title of Overall Team Champion.

Every year since 1999, the USA has won the team competition title. This year, however, the Grand Duchy prevailed against the previously unbeaten champions.

Hwa Rang Do is a 2,000-year-old Korean martial art that unites a variety of disciplines, including physical and mental techniques and weaponry. In the 1960s, Dr. Joo Bang Lee regimented and integrated these disciplines into a modern martial art.
