Karate - Tang Soo Do



Follow-Ups to Answer from Expert Dragon

TKD as it exist today came from the Moo Duk Kwan, for a time it was TKD Moo Duk Kwan. The Korean government was responsible for a unification push, that is when the WTF stepped in, efforts from Un Yong Kim made TKD what it is today.

Having studied TKD and Soo Bahk Do in Korea for over five years, and several years here in the states, and meeting Hwang Kee, Un Yong Kim, and a host of other notable Masters, there is one real truth - Koreans are too caught up into who started what, and when, and who is best or true. However an art that does not change with the times, dies. Sad but true!
