I went back and reread the breaker from the beginning. Because Names of  clans are hardly ever translated, it gets a little difficult to keep track. So I've created this, because BOREDOM BE DAMNED I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT. Like this post please.
 

Artist Society
 

Leader: Yae-Won
Members: Sera Kang, Yu Sa-Ah(Nurse who first protects Shi Woon after his ki center is damaged)
Techniques: Ki Whirlwind. Created by imprisoned women, most of Artist Society Techniques use      the appoinents strength against them. Outer Body Training- Meditation that allows you to train inside your mind and allow  your body to get used to certain techniques and fighting styles
Brief Summary: The Leader Yae-Won is present during most events and has a strong ties to the Martial Arts alliance. They apparently have some bond withMil Yung School since they teach Sera their techniques. For no clear reason they have trained Shi Woon to use Outer Body Training. Majority ,if not all, of their members are female.
 

 

 

Black Heaven& Earth School
 

Surviving Members: Chun Woo-Han(Goomryang/9 Arts Dragon), Ryuji (Dokhengrang/S.U.C Captain), Shi-Woon Yi
Desceased  Members: Un-Wol(9 Arts and Dok's Master), C (Former Chief of Alliance)
Techniques: Soul Crushing Strike, Gale Wind Destruction, Walking Techniques
                         Black Heaven&Earth Technique-Most coveted tech in Murim.
                         Black Origin Threshold- feeds mostly on rage, creates a drastic increase of power
Brief Summary: An unspecified number of years ago Un-Wol and C's master, passed on the BH&E technique to Un-Wol forever creating a rift between the two, leading to C's obsession of taking the technique. Originally one of the strongest clans in Murim with legendary techniques, if a fighter reached a certain level of skill various masters of Murim would come witness their legendary technique. Un-Wol, the new gaju, became the best martial artist of his generation when he reached  master level, but his strength was too strong and he killed the masters present. The reclusive BHE School shortly fell apart after this, after which Un-Wol was senteced to forced isolation. At some point a young Chun woo stumbled across him, Un Wol passed on the techniques to Chun Woo. In an attempt to earn his Master's freedom, Chun woo took part in a martial arts Competition, becoming histoy's first true Nine Arts Dragon. The humiliated Alliance used Chun Woo to take advantage of Un-Wol. However to spare his life, Un-Wol killed himself making Chunwoo the sole carrier of BH&E Technique. In ensuing battle Chun Woo was assumed dead; surviving he joined Black Forest Defense who eventually send him back to Korea, where the story begins.
 

 

 

Black Forest Defense Group
 

Leader: Kaiser
Known Members: 9 Arts Dragon, Takeshi(Sword Wielder with sunglasses), Dimitri(Takeshi's Partner), Alex(Driver/porter), Shi-Ho Lee(9 Art's Lover/presumed dead actually Comatosed), Lady So-Sul(lady of the Sunwoo Clan), Jung Lae Won(evil glasses dude who appears mysteriously from time to time)
Techniques: The Black Forest Defense Group is made up of various skilled martial artist, all with different backgrounds, techniques and ideals.
Brief Summary: The Black Forest Defense Group is an organization that hate and fight against many of the common laws of Murim, which often puts them in direct conlfict with the Martial Arts Alliance. They have no qualms about killing people, and generally seem to cause chaos. BFD has alliances with various clans, fighters, military organizations, and goverments both Murim and non Murim. Their is no telling how old the group is but with the aquisition of nine arts and Lady Sosul's nine yin body type their plans are coming to fruition. Several years ago after 9 arts killed many of their top fighters he was recruited into the group. At the start of the series they send 9 Arts, Shi-Ho, and Alex to Korea to retrieve Lady So-sul to escort her back where she'll begin treatment for her body type. They secretly and delibretly have Shi-Ho shot so she would die in front of 9 Arts during the chaos they caused at the Alliance HQ in order to push him to a new level. The S.U.C is made up of martial artist wanting to join BFD. Though they have no direct involvment with the S.U.C, BFD told them that if they could take down the country of Korea for them then they could join. Recently they have taken an interest in Shi-Woon Yi, not just as Goomonryong's disciple but as the leader of the SunWoo. What they intend for him is unkown, though they have him under watch at a hospital on a deserted island.
 

 

 

Heavenly Way School(Chundomoon)
 

Leaders:Former Head(Deceased), So-Chun Hyuk(guy with creepy affection for Shi Woon)
Members:So Jung Chan(So Chun's Uncle that provokes the SunWoo Clan), Jae-gal(mustache), Five Protectors(the guys that hold off Goomonryong's Rampage in part one)
Techniques: Heavenly Way Punch-An incredibly powerfull punch that blows the enemy away; survivng is almost unheard of. Heavenly Way Style is based off the yet unamed 5 forms of Heavin's Will.
Brief Summary: Heavenly Way School is considered the strongest indiviual clan that directly follows the Martial Arts Alliance and whose poer nearly rivals the SunWoo clan's. Incredibly reclusive, their members devote all their time to strengthining their martial arts, and it is the school most renowned for producing geniuses. Sometime before the series they teamed up with the alliance and nearly drove the SunWoo clan to extinction. They become involved in the events from The Breaker as a result of So Chun being named head, his attempt to gain world experience pushes him closer to the stir of things, leading to his encounter with Shi Woon. After his fight with Shi Woon, So Chun becomes more interested in the ideas and morals of Murim and Martial Artists, being deeply disturbed of his apparent fear of a far weaker opponent. A combination of curiosity and the loneliness of being a prodigy lead him to seek out and watch over Shi Woon. His mere prescence prevents the previous head from making more underhanded  moves against Shi Woon's groupas he is one of the few people able to see through him. Since New Waves there appears to be a split in the Heavenly Way mostly caused by his young uncle So Jung. Perhaps out of jealousy or his young age So Jung and some Heavenly Way Artists begin the S.U.C and to join BFD.
 

 

 

Mil-Yang Clan
 

Leaders: Jae Oh Kang(deceased), Sera Kang
Techniques: Nothing is known about any special techniques the clan uses. Sera herself uses Artist Society Clan's fighting style.
Brief Summary: Mil-Yang Clan, due to their analysis and improvements made on the pill given to Shi Woon, it can be assumed that their clan specializes in Medical aspect of Murim. The head of the clan also acts as the chairman for the Nine Arts School, a completely NonMurim related high school, that Shi Woon attends. Before the story took place Sera's father and then Gaju, was murdered by Nine Arts Dragon while he was on vacation but was otherwise presumed missing until is body was found. His death, ordered by the Black Forest Defense group, gave Chun Woo, Alex, and Shi ho a cover at Nine Arts School as teachers while they waited for the delivery of Lady SoSul; they continously forged letters of recommendation by him. After the events of  The Breaker, the clan became split from the dispute of Sera's leadership. This is indirectly rectified by a threat made by the Sun Woo clan, and the two clans have an unofficial alliance with each other because of Shi Woon and Sera's friendship.
 

 

 

One Moon School
 

Leader: Hyun Won-Jae
Products: The one moon school is more so known for the amazing work in all things medical for Martial Artists. Their Dan(ki medical pills) are top notch and highly expensive. In particular the One Moon Divine Dan, of which three were ever made. The person who eats it essentially becomes a living peace of medicine healing from almost any injury within half a day, it also vastly increases the amount of ki in a person's center.
Brief Summary: Before the start of the series Shi Ho, presumably acting on BFD orders, steals the three One Moon Divine Dan, after having seduced the leader() who in turn develops an obsession with her. The Dan though incredibly rare aren't ready for consuption by even a Murimin, because their body would explode; Shi Woon who is also given BH&E technique is the exception. In New Waves Hyun Won-Jae is revealed to have Shi Ho's body in comatose, desperate to find a way to revive her. He makes a deal with the homeless Seung-Jae Bae, in return for allowing him to use One Moon high tech facilites, Seung-Jae Baewould provide him with blood with properties of One Moon Divine Dan which he finds improves Shi Ho's conditon. After realizing that the blood is coming from the Sun Woo clan's new gaju, he immediately goes to rescue Shi Woon out of fear of the Sun Woo clan's wrath should they find out. He becomes won over by Shi Woon's determination and morals and vows to make him better than before(fixing his ki center). The One Moon School is now temporarily under the SunWoo clan's protection/gaze while Shi Woon is undergoes treatment.
 

 

 

Song Clan
 

Former Leaders:    Hak Jang Song (killed pre series) Gijoo Song (killed in 9 Arts first full fight)

Living Members: Kang-Sung(3 Arts Dragon/current head of Alliance),  Hyuntae(crazy guy that tries to shoot 9 Arts in revenge.
Techniques: -Song clan techniques are focused on pure phyical feats. The only technique shown so far Strong Metal Hand, is essentially an extremely powerfull grip, able to easily crumble concrete and metal.
Brief Summary: Hak Jang Song was the previous leader of the Song clan; before the start of the series he is present at Un-Wol's demonstration as well the Martial Arts festival that Goomonryong took part in. He is also one of the elders that are present during Un-Wol's death, having come to kill Chun-Woon. Just before the start of the series he is killed upon Goomonryong's return to Korea, and it is his death that causes the initial meeting of clans at the start of the series. Gijoo Song attempts to avenge his master's death sacrificing a large amount of murimans to 9 Arts, but ultimately dies. Kang Sung who was working with the Alliance at the time was not present for either incident.
 

 

 

Sunwoo Clan
 

Leaders: Lady Sosul(Missing True Head), Shi Woon Yi(Current Head), Jae-kyu Kwon(2nd inComm/10Great Masters), Elder Jang II-Jeong(deceased), Elder Kim Sul-Joong, Elder Min Sa-Oak(fat elder)
Members: Gyu-Bum Yi(Southern Red Star), Ha-III Gang(Guy with Hat/Lightning Heel), Dae-San Han (Big Guy in Sunglasses/Big Mountain), Jin-nie Kwon
Techniques: Iron Wall Stance, Double Dragon Chain Dance, Thunder Fist, Phoenix Whip, Wind Swallow Kick. A fun fact about the Sunwoo clan techniques is that most Murim aren't aware of what they look like given that most people who do see them don't survive.
Brief Summary: In it's prime Sunwoo was considered to be the strongest indiviual clan in Murim, with various estates around the world. So much so that the massive Martial Arts Alliance is wary about getting on their bad side. Sunwoo clan are very protective of their own and  react murderously violent to any kind of threat towards the clan not often caring about the consequences of their actions. An untold amount of years ago the soon to be head of the clan saw Kwon's potential and strength and made him his right hand man; together they became the most feared duo in Murim, making the Sunwoo what it is today. Fearing they were becoming too strong the Heavenly Way School and Martial Arts Alliance combined their strengths to crush the clan. In the ensuing battle the clan head died protecting Kwon, causing his hatred for the Heavenly Way. Years later Kwon's daughter and the previous head's son were to be married, when the clan head turned her down for another woman. Kwon's daughter left the clan and the country taking on the blame for the marriage's failure. She eventually married an American man with red hair and gave birth to Jinnie before dying in an accident. The clan head in turn had Lady Sosul, then died in a fight with Murim. Lady Sosul was born with a unique body type that made her incredibly weak, she was taken as hostage by the Alliance under the impression that they would cure her. One of the retainers of the Sunwoo clan secretly makes a deal with Black Forest Defence, that allows him to rescue her. During her rescue she meets Shi Woon where the Sunwoo are first introduced to the series.
 

The Soilders Under Command (S.U.C.)
 

Leaders: So Jung Chan(Heavenly Way Dooche) Jae-gal(Heavenly Way mustace/mask)
Captains:Yong-Hyun Yan(Cool Guy), Ji-Woo Li(Dark Princess/crazy btch that attack Jinnie), Ryuji(Dokhengrang), Ha-ru(Thousand Face/Chick that disguises herself), Kwon-Youn(Western White Star/Blood Stream)
Soilders: Chang-ho(Shi-Woon's bully), Fattie(gatekeeper that attacks Shi Woon)
Techniques: Chain Sickle Martial Arts, BH&E, Whip Martial Art, Bone technique
Soilder Techniques: Knock off Goomryoung techniques
Not So Brief Summary: Sometime in the course of The Breaker and before New Waves, the S.U.C was founded. Around this time several of Murim's newest most promising young Masters went off the grid, it was revealed that they were scouted to be the 5 Captains of the S.U.C. (Smiling Sword was also scouted but turned the offer down). Why they were founded and what their true goal is remains to be unseen. Their main message is that they are followers of Goomryang will, claiming to be his soilders or disciples and using his techniques. The vast majority of their soilders truly belief that they are disciples of Goomryoung, as a result of the S.U.C editing videos of his speaches after defeating Murmin masters in different parts of the world. In addition to this, the fighting style they use was delibretly created to look like NineArts own techniques. The S.U.C uses "ordinary" people as soilders, and by giving them pills they have a vast increase in ki to nearly that of an ordinary master(jin-ne level); the pills were never meant to be long term and the more they use them the sooner they'll die. To the leaders of the S.U.C the soilders are little more than pawns in their quest to take down Korea as part of a deal made with the Black Forest Defense group. The S.U.C view Shi-Woon as a potential threat given that he is the only one to ever be formally accepted as NineArts' disciple, since his ideals differ from their own he has become an increasingly dangerous target for them. Shi-Woon first comes in contact with them at his return to school after his battle with smiling sword when a gatekeeper attacks him after confirming his school. Later during a riot through town when he first uses pills to make the ki in his body move, and defeats them. The S.U.C continue to cause havoc and antagonize the Alliance, ganging up on younger masters, while Shi-Woon begins training to fight even with a broken ki center. Jin-nie while on the run from her family for failing to secretly kill Shi-Woon, runs into Dark Princess and a group of S.U.C. Unaware that she is of the SunWoo clan they mercilissy hunt her down, eventually Elder Kwon gets involved forcing Jae Gal to intervene. Once Kwon recognizes Heavenly Way technique, this reinforces the Sun Woo clan's war on the S.U.C.
