Join Sacred Sons Co-Founder Adam Jackson in this unique opportunity as he sits down with Grand Master Taejoon Lee, a lifelong warrior of Hwa Rang Do - a martial arts tradition meaning the flowering of man. They explore the lineage, philosophy, and unshakable principles of this ancient path, discussing early life in Korea under Japanese occupation, the ancestral roots of Hwa Rang Do, and the challenges of immigrating to the U.S. while preserving martial integrity. This conversation dives into the origins of Karate, the warrior way, and the discipline of selflessness over self-indulgence - honoring a path that transcends the individual and aligns with the unifying essence of existence itself. Taejoon Lee shares lessons from childhood, forging strength by confronting life’s obstacles head-on. The Five Codes of the Hwarang - loyalty to king, parents, and friends, never retreating from battle, and practicing mercy in killing - timeless principles that reflect the warrior’s recognition of duty, honor, and the deeper truth that I am is inseparable from all that is. Together they explore the profound power of love for one’s brother, recognizing that true strength found in battle is rooted in the bonds of loyalty, respect, and shared purpose. This episode embodies the warrior’s path, honoring discipline, resilience, and the wisdom of generations. Whether you are a martial artist, seeker, or drawn to timeless warrior ethics, this is an invitation to embrace the warrior spirit in all aspects of life.
