- I have essentially written the article on Hwa Rang Do. I will work on expanding it later (this took too many hours to do everything at once ;) ), but I would appreciate if someone with more experience here would look it over.
- The image on this page is listed as having no copyright info, but I did come across a copy on the internet at The U of W site. I presume this means that it is a copyright infringement for sure? I guess I will have to read more about copyright for pictures, so I can find a new one that is actually free to take ;).
- Most of the info is avaliable from the sources at the bottom of the page. The top one especially (world headquarters) has info about most of what I wrote. I tried to verify details it as I went, but much of this info is from memory from when I was training, so there may be minor details that have problems.

I don't think that Michael Echanis' claims constitute any form of evidence or support for the "secret temple master" story of HWD. His expertise as a combat instructor has no bearing whatsoever on his competence as a historical researcher. Interview a number of recognized self-defense experts or champion martial artists of various backgrounds, and I'll guarantee that you'll hear them repeat any number of myths about the origins and development of martial arts. Also, the claims that HWD contains techniques that aren't found in any other martial art except ninpo is something that needs to be backed up with a source. --Halloween jack 14:42, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
