TANG SOO DO (Korean Karate)
The Birth of Tang Soo Do
After world war II in 1945 , Korean peninsula recovered their independence, its
post-occupational émigrés returned, bringing with them the newly improved
form of martial arts. They brought two, various names indicative of particular
emphasis in tang soo do, such as kwon bop, hwa soo do, kong soo do and soo
bahk do. Garand master hwang kee, expert of traditional soo bahk ki had
accomplished his technical maturity while in china from 1936 to 1945. He
encountered the chinese variation of this art from which was called the tang
method, by combining some of the Chinese tang methods with those he was
already well versed in – soo bahk ki. (Tang method – while grand master
hwang kee stayed in china, his soo bahk ki was influenced by Chinese style
which was called tang dynasty fighting techniques in china at that time). Grand
master hwang kee devised a system of fighting which he brought back to his
homeland at the end of world war II and he named it tang soo do, in honour of
the Chinese art. This is the first time of the world Tang Soo Dowas used
officially. Tang Soo Dowhich is one of the best martial arts in the world was
sometimes misinterpreted as a part of Japanese karate by some theorists. The
above background will prove that this concept is in error. Someone may say
Korean Tang Soo Doo, tae kwon do came from japan because the same type
of Hyungs or Katas are trained in these arts. So some masters try to make new
hyungs such as Chun ju, tang kunts. As we all know the traditional forms –
Hyung are universal, Japan, Korea , china – all these countries have the same
hyungs. The mood of movements, rhythms, principals, emphasis, etc may vary
in each style, but it is never owned by one style or country. Pyung Ahn cho
Dan,Bassai, Naihanchi Cho Dan, Jindo, Unsyoo, Kongsang Koon, for example
all were thought by Japanese, Chinesee and Korean respectively.
Tang Soo Do is the name of the martial art we practice, and Moo Duk Kwan
refers to the specific variation, because there are several sub-styles of Tang
Soo Do.
