Hanam Jungwon

Hanam Jungwon is a traditional Korean martial art that was first developed in the Joseon dynasty (1392-1897). It is based on principles of energy, balance, and control and is often referred to as 'flower fist'. In Hanam Jungwon, practitioners use punches, kicks, and blocks to overcome an opponent. Practitioners also learn to use their whole body to protect themselves and practice breathing and concentration exercises to improve their focus and power. Hanam Jungwon is an important part of Korean cultural heritage and it teaches important values and encourages people to treat each other with respect and honor.
