"Teaching the Warrior Spirit through Self-Discipline and Self-Defense" O n November 9, 1945 a new martial art arose from the ashes of the beaten and battered nation of Korea. The style was called Tang Soo Do-Moo Duk Kwan, which is translated as "a brotherhood and school of stopping inner and outer conflict and developing virtue, according to the way of the worthy hand" . To break it down even further Tang Soo Do means "Chinese hand way" and Moo Duk Kwan stands for "house of martial virtue" and the Moo Duk Kwan is a school or group that teaches Tang Soo Do. Tang Soo Do, when translated into Japanese, means Kara-te that, in turn, means "open or empty handed fighting." The origin of Tang Soo Do is still unknown but the style can be traced back well over 2000 years to the period of the Three Kingdoms. These kingdoms were the Koguryo (37 B.C.), the Paekche (18 B.C.), and the Silla (57 B.C.). Murals of people practicing Soo Bahk Do and Tae Kyun have been discovered in tombs from this period. The murals also prove that the traditional Tang Soo Do uniform that is worn today is the same as the ones that were worn during that period. From 1936-1945 Hwang Kee transformed the styles of Soo Bahk Do, Tae Kyun, and Kung Fu into what is now known as Tang Soo Do. Each of the styles is traditional and has very special elements that make the art of Tang Soo Do strong physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Previous Page WPTSD - History / Soo Bahk SOO BAHK During the time of the HWA RANG DAN, the original primitive art of self-defense called SOO BAHK, meaning foot fighting, was popular among the common people, much in the same way wrestling was to the Greeks or boxing to the Europeans and Americans. SOO BAHK was a Korean method of self-defense as old as Korea itself. The people had high regard for SOO BAHK and through the inspiration of the HWA RANG DAN warriors, began to train themselves and develop their art. SOO BAHK was combined with the HWA RANG DAN principles to become SOO BAHK DO, forming the traditional Martial Art of Korea. During the Silla Dynasty, SOO BAHK DO flourished and developed with each new generation passing on its new techniques. The ancient art of SOO BAHK DO, with its high, powerful kicks and speed, was then fused and developed into a new martial art, TAE KYUN. During the Korean Dynasty, which emerged as a new nation after the fall of the Silla Dynasty, this new style of self-defense, TAE KYUN, became widely practiced among the common people of Korea. Since they could not afford armaments they had to rely on their hands and feet for self-defense.

Danny Answer Danny, I'm sorry I must have mispoken, Tae Kwon Do and Tang Soo do are both, i belive, descended form Soo Bahk Do, and have even deeper roots in Howrang Do, therefore they are the same age. I'm no historian, thank you for bringing my mistake to my attention. I believe the point I tried (and failed) to make was that Tae Kwon Do, as it exists in the majority of cases today, is more of an American derivative of the traditional Art form of the same name. Where Tang Soo Do is more focused on keeping with the traditional forms and style of Soo Bahk Do. I belive the schisim resutling in the styles we see today coincides with the conclusion of the second world war, when Korea was free to study and teach martial arts again after its occupation by Japan ended in 1945.

Tang Soo Do is composed of 60% Soo Bahk Do, 30% Northern Chinese and 10% of Southern Chinese systems. The kicking techniques are based on Soo Bahk Do. Soo Bahk Do was developed during the Silla Dynasty (618 - 935 AD). Tang Soo Do is a hard and soft art. The hardness comes from Soo Bahk Do and the soft flowing movements come from the Nothern Chinese Systems. Hwang Kee developed Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan. He mastered Tae Kyun and Soo Bahk Do at the age of 22. At that time (1936) he traveled to Northern China where he studied the Tang method. Between 1936 and 1945 he combined Soo Bahk Do and the Tang method and developed Moo Duk Kwan Tang Soo Do. On November 9, 1945 it was registered as the Korea Soo Bahk Do Association. Moo Duk Kwan Tang Soo Do (is a school of stopping inner and outer conflict). It is a classical martial art with the purpose to develop every aspect of the self, in order to create a mature personality who integrates his intellect, body and emotions. This total integration helps to create a person who is free from inner conflict and who can deal with the outside world in a mature, intelligent, forthright and virtuous manner.

Martial Arts Self Defense or a Way of Life? You may hear two different endings on various martial arts, "-jitsu" and "do". A good example is Japanese Aikijitsu and Aikido. The "-jitsu" ending indicates an emphasis on physical technique and practical fighting application as an end in itself. Martial arts whose name ends in "do" seek to develop the full person through physical, mental, and spiritual discipline. The word "do" means way, as in a way of life. At the risk of too broad a generalization, Martial arts which end in "-jitsu" are appropriate for teaching to soldiers whose primary mission is to overcome an opponent in combat. Martial arts which end in "do" teach a way of life, including a system of ethics, etiquette, and values. Teaching begins with physical training in self defense and may on the surface resemble a "-jitsu" martial art, but the training goes much deeper to develop all aspects of the person, not just the capability for physical self-defense. Korean Martial Arts There are three primary Korean martial arts: Soo Bahk Do Mu Duk Kwan (also known as Tang Soo Do Mu Duk Kwan), Tae Kwon Do, and Hapkido. Tae Kwon Do is the best known of these, having a large following in both the US and in Korea. In Albuquerque where I live there are probably 12 Tae Kwon Do studios compared to one Tang Soo Do and no Hapkido studios.

News About Us Schools Events ... Search Tang Soo Do Intro Tangsoodo or Tang Soo Do ("The Way of the Tang Hand") is a traditional Korean martial art that has been largely incorporated into modern Taekwondo. Origins Name Tang Soo Do is the Korean pronunciation of the Hanja characters 唐手道, which in Japanese are pronounced "Karate-Do" (way of the Tang Hand). The first recorded usage of the term "Tang Soo Do" in contemporary history was by Chung Do Kwan founder, Won Kuk Lee . Prior to the unification of the "Kwans" under the Korea Taekwondo Association, most of the major Kwans called their style Tang Soo Do. The Chung Do Kwan, along with the rest of the Kwans ceased using the name Tang Soo Do when they unified under the name Taekwondo (and temporarily Tae Soo Do) The Moo Duk Kwan, however, remained independent of this unification movement, and continued to call their style Tang Soo Do. In 1995, the late Hwang Kee officially changed the name of the Moo Duk Kwan style to Soo Bahk Do. Founder Early history The ancestral art of Korean Tang Soo Do can be traced back to the period when Korea was divided into three kingdoms: Goguryeo was founded in 37 BC in northern Korea. The Silla Dynasty was founded in 57 BC in the southeast peninsula. The third kingdom, Paekche was founded in 18 BC.

Most historians agree that the martial arts originated in Southern China. The first practitioners were Buddhist monks. As it spread throughout Asia, different variations evolved, mostly to suit the instructors or the inhabitants of that particular land. The Korean art of Tang Soo Do is a product of techniques practiced through the centuries. The original Korean style, "Tae Kyun," was practiced from about the 1st century AD. It was during this period that China had a shared cultural influence with Korea. The Silla dynasty took control of the peninsula from 676 to 918 AD during which Tae Kyun was practiced by a group of aggressive warlords who renamed the art "Soo Bahk Do."

Tang Soo Do ( Way of the China Hand ) history Korean martial arts developed approximately 2000 years ago when Korea was then divided into three kingdoms: Koguryo in the North, Paekche in the Southwest, and Silla in the Southeast. During this period, martial arts were very primitive until Korea was first unified under the Silla Dynasty (688-935AD). During the Silla Dynasty, the Hwa Rang Dan (flowering youth) warriors combined the philosophy of the monk Won Kwang, who was the originator of the principles of our own Tang Soo Do, with Soo Bahk Ki (the art of foot and body fighting) to form the traditional art of Soo Bahk Do. In 918 AD, the Koryo Dynasty was established and it’s militaristic rule strongly promoted martial spirit and development of the Korean martial arts. The Yi Dynasty (1392-1910 AD) followed and assured the continuation of Korean martial arts when the martial arts book, Mooye Dobo Tongji was written. During the Japanese occupation of Korea from 1909 to 1945, the Korean people were forbidden to practice martial arts resulting in many Soo Bahk Do practitioners going underground to secretly continue their training.

My Blog Origin The exact origin of Tang Soo Do, as well as karate in general, is obscure. However, there are many equally beautiful theories. An argument continues to rage about the origin of both weapon using and weaponless fighting techniques. Some Japanese karate experts insist that the art is of Japanese origin; some say it came from Okinawa; others say it began in China and spread from there. Although there are various theories and views explaining it's history in Korea, we will consider the Moo Duk Kwan's assertion as described in Moo Duk Kwan's major text book Soo Bahk Do Dae Kam , written by Grand Master Hwang Kee , president. It is a well-known theory, mainly of Japanese stylists, that according to popular legend the Indian Zen priest Dahlma (called Daruma in Japan) is credited with it's birth in the year 517 AD in China. From China it found its way to Okinawa and subsequently was modified and developed into many styles. In his book

International Martial Arts of Waterloo Making a better society through better citizens Member of the World Tang Soo Do Association Home What is Tang Soo Do? Tang Soo Do means "the art of the knife hand" or "the way of the Chinese hand." It contains characteristics of Chinese internal methods and Japanese striking styles. Tang Soo Do is a modern martial art and it's purpose is to develop every aspect of the 'self' in order to produce a mature person who can totally integrate his intellect, emotions, body and spirit. Tang Soo Do, is not a sport and its primary goal is not a competitive one. However, it does lend itself well to combative situations. Being a well-balanced style, Tang Soo Do offers a wide array of kicks, hand strikes, and stances representative of hard styles as well as softer stances and more fluid motions that are indicative of the softer styles. It derives it's hardness from Soo Bahk Do and its soft flowing movements from the Northern Chinese systems. Its kicking techniques, for which Tang Soo Do is unsurpassed, are based on Soo Bahk Do. Both of which can easily be recognized in the forms that are practiced within the style.  ( continued below To contact us: Thunder Ridge Court 2302 W 1st St.

Grandmaster Hwang Kee, founder of modern Tang Soo Do, mastered the arts of Tae Kyun (a Korean method unrelated to Tae Kwon Do; it is interesting to note that many scholars do not consider Tae Kyun a true 'martial art' because it lacked any form of mental discipline) and Soo Bahk Do in Korea and traveled to northern China where he encountered a martial method known as the Tang method. Between mid-1930 and mid-1940 Grandmaster Kee combined elements from Soo Bahk Do and the Tang methods into an art he dubbed 'Tang Soo Do'. He began to establish schools and teach his style in Seoul, Korea in 1945, and in 1964 Tang Soo Do was brought to the United States through an instructor by the name of San Kyu Shim. Being both a ' hard ' and ' soft' style, Tang Soo Do derives its 'hardness' (striking) from Korean Soo Bahk Do, its kicking techniques from Tae Kyun, and its 'softness' (flowing movements) from northern Chinese Tang martial artistry.

Home Martial Disciplines School Info History ... Announcements PACIFIC MARTIAL ARTS FOUNDATION 2253 Fletcher Parkway, El Cajon, CA 92020 Ph: (619) 465-6770 History (General Tang Soo Do) - Tang Soo Do is the traditional name for Korean karate. It means Way of the Tang (China) Hand, referring to the Tang Dynasty of China (618-908 A.D.). It is an empty-hand art that uses blocking, punching, striking, and kicking techniques performed in a dynamic way. However softer, circular movements, take downs, and evasive maneuvers are also used. Ancient influences for Tang Soo Do are the arts of Subak (Shou Bo) and Sorim Kwan Bup (Shaolin Chuan Fa). These arts were practiced in ancient kingdoms corresponding to modern day China (Zhonghua) and Korea. More recent influences are To Te (Okinawan karate) and Taek kyon (Korean kicking art). Tang Soo Do was the foundation for the modern arts of Tae Kwon Do and Soo Bahk Do. The Moo Duk kwan (Institute of Martial Virtue) was founded in 1945 by Grand Master Hwang Kee in Seoul, Korea. He began teaching an eclectic art called Hwa Soo Do that consisted of Chinese martial arts such as Tan Tui, T'ai Chi Ch'uan, Shaolin Chuan, as well as some Taek kyon he learned as a youth. He was not having much success until 1947 when he incorporated the art of Tang Soo Do in the Moo Duk Kwan. By the 1950s and 1960s he had one of the largest martial arts organizations in Korea. Inspired by the ancient art of Subak, Grand Master Hwang Kee coined the name Soo Bahk Do hoping that the other kwans (schools) would all use it as the traditional name for Korean martial arts.

History of Tang Soo Do The following is a brief history of Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan, compiled from the many writings of the Grandmaster of Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan, Hwang Kee. The modern martial art of Tang Soo Do is more than 55 years old. It commenced when Grandmaster Hwang Kee began teaching it in Seoul, Korea in the fall of 1945. Hwang Kee mastered Soo Bahk Do and Tae Kyun by the age of 22. Because of the Japanese oppression and ban of Korean Martial Arts at the time, Hwang Kee traveled to northern China in 1936 where he encountered Chinese variations of the martial art of Kung Fu. He combined these with Soo Bahk Do to develop what he would eventually call Tang Soo Do. The Moo Duk Kwan was one of the main schools of martial arts at the end of the Japanese occupation of Korea in August of 1945. Hwang Kee was the founder. Other major Korean martial arts schools in 1945 were Choong Do Kwan and Song Moo Kwan. Member styles of these original schools expanded to many in Korea by 1950. They included Moo Duk Kwan, Ji Do Kwan, Choong Do Kwan, Cheong Moo Kwan, and Song Moo Kwan.
