What We Are Not
We don’t aspire to be or even compete with generic Mixed Martial Arts schools that are out there today. We care for each of our students and the individual journey that takes place for them. What one can do physically is only the beginning. We as students work hard everyday to build character, integrity, discipline, loyalty, along with mental and physical strength and well-being.
And if you have seen any of the dozens of Hwa Rang Do® Videos online, it becomes obvious that what we strive for is to be extraordinary. Up for the challenge?
Here’s a Sneak Peek…
We guarantee that this FREE Class will not only be a fun and rewarding experience for you, it will also be a test of physical and mental will as you get a taste of our total martial art approach. Remember…
FREE Classes available May 22 – 26!

Hwa Rang Do Testimonials:
Attending the Hwa Rang Do Minneapolis academy has been one of the best experiences in my life! Personally, I wanted to find a comprehensive martial art where I would learn about all facets of self defense, weapons, grappling, joint locks, submission holds and other techniques that didn’t know existed. I wanted to learn from an Instructor who was exceptional in their knowledge and passionate about teaching.
I wanted to meet friends and develop the camaraderie that only comes from training with individuals who share the same (or at least similar) goals. Most of all, I wanted to study an art that can be incorporated into my fitness goals, culture and lifestyle. I have found all of this and more training for 3+ years at the Hwa Rang Do Minneapolis Academy. I would highly recommend this academy to anyone seeking martial arts training! ~ Nathan A
I have been training at the Hwa Rang Do Minneapolis school for 4 years now. Prior to that I had no Martial Arts training. I have always tried to stay fit but found working out and jogging to be mundane and unfulfilling. Luckily I chose Hwa Rang Do and couldn’t be happier! I am now more agile, balanced, fit and motivated than I have ever been in my life. I have learned to be humble yet confident, dedicated yet patient in all aspects of my life. I find it amazing how much I’ve realized of myself not only physically, but mentally and spiritually as well. I can also honestly say that the multi-tiered program and amazing instruction are the biggest factors in my continued training. On top of that, there’s always something to look forward to when I step into the Dojang, and that is why I train in Hwa Rang Do. ~ Jeremy D
