In the United States, multiple representatives were appointed in the 1960’s and early 1970’s before his goals for the Moo Duk Kwan® in the United States were finally realized with the formation of the United States Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation in 1975. ® Moo Duk Kwan Heritage Worldwide ® Moo Duk Kwan Heritage USA 1945 Korea Hwang Kee 1961 United States Dale Druliard 1985 France To be researched 1962 Canada To be researched 1963 England To be researched 1964 W Germany To be researched 1965 Philippines Casimiro Grandeza 1967 Malaysia Soon Ho Chang 1968 Italy To be researched 1958 Dale Drulliard 757 1968 Greece George Page 1958 Mariano Estioko 759 1968 Puerto Rico Richard Morales 1960 Robert Thompson 1791 1969 Mexico Dae Won Moon 1960 Larry Seiberlich 1815 1970 England Ivan Tnay 1960 John Butterwick 2277 1974 Belgium Beom Ju Lee 1960 Robert Cheezic 2278 1974 Argentina Roberto Villiabal 1960 Carlos Norris 2819 1976 Australia Kyu Sik Shin 1961 Joe Weeks 3596 1989 Switzerland Urs Spoerri 1961 Lynn Jackson 3597 1994 Israel Moshe Jakobi 1961 James Rushton 4130 1995 Iran M Mahmoudi 1961 Russ Hanke 4137 1997 Brazil Paulo Amaral 1961 Robert Shipley (Deceased) 4825 2002 Uruguay Roberto Fontora 1964 Sang Kyu Shim (Deceased) 180 2004 Chile Alex Carillo 1968 Jae Chul Shin (Deceased) 698 2004 New Zealand Yong Ho Lee 1969 Jae Joon Kim (Deceased) 38 2006 Spain Diego Salinas 1970 Chung Il Kim 475 2008 Columbia Ernie Medina 1975 United States Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation® Charter Members 2008 Iceland Cesar Rodriguez 1994 United States Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk ® 2011 China T.K.

  • Moo Duk Kwan
    Tae Kwon Do Moo Duk Kwan A Review What is Tae Kwon Do? • Taekwondo is a Korean martial art and the national sport of South Korea. In Korean, tae means "to strike or break with foot"; means "to strike or break with fist"; and means "way", "method", or "path". Thus, taekwondo may be loosely translated as "the way of the hand and the foot.” Source: Wikipedia So, what is Tae Kwon Do? • "Traditional taekwondo" typically refers to the martial art as it was established in the 1950s and 1960s in the South Korean military, and in various civilian organizations, including schools and universities. In particular, the names and symbolism of the traditional patterns often refer to elements of Korean history, culture and religious philosophy. Today, the Kukkiwon, or World Taekwondo Headquarters is the traditional center for Taekwondo in Korea. Source: Wikipedia What are Original Tae Kwon Do Schools? • The Five Original Kwans (Schools) – Song Moo Kwan - founded March 11, 1944 by Ro, Byung Jick. – Chung Do Kwan - founded in 1944 by Lee, Won Kyuk. – Moo Duk Kwan - founded after 1946 by Hwang Kee. – Kwon Bop Bu/Chang Moo Kwan - founded in 1946 by Yoon, Byung-In. – Yun Moo Kwan/Jidokwan - founded March 3, 1946 by Chun, Sang Sup. • Later Kwans (derived from the original five) – Han Moo Kwan - founded in August 1954 by Lee Kyo Yoon. – Oh Do Kwan - founded in 1955 by Choi Hong Hi, Nam Tae Hi, and Han Cha Kyo. – Kang Duk Won - founded in 1956 by Park Chul Hee and Hong Jong Pyo – Jung Do Kwan - founded in 1956 by Lee Yong Woo.

  • The Necessity to Know History. in 1945, Moo Duk Kwan Was Found in Order to Spread, Prosper and Create Understanding of Soo Bahk
    The necessity to know history. In 1945, Moo Duk Kwan was found in order to spread, prosper and create understanding of Soo Bahk Do (now called Tang Soo Do), which is the special martial art of Korea, and has a long history and tradition. The foundation of Moo Duk Kwan has remained unshakable by the cooperation and efforts of all members and persons who are interested. The fame of Moo Duk Kwan has grown not only in Korea, but all over the world. Now, although technique is very important, theory has to be taught for the purpose of the increase of Tang Soo Do and the martial arts. First of all, therefore, all members must perfectly understand the foundation theory of rational history about the art. From time to time some members who have excellent skills deviate from the right path because they do not know and understand it's true history and the foundation. So it is very important to study history and the foundation theory. The theory of it's 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.

This concept is still widely used in Oriental culture and daily li{e i.e. fortune telling, Fung Hsui, naming of new born child, etc. I do not think it is relevant in martial art forms or techniques, one would only be shrouding the art in some form of ori- ental myslique, rather than addressing the fundamental points or progression that is needed to enhance the knowledge and practicality a senior student or instructor requires. Readers should take a closer look at all their forms including the recent Chil Sung and ask "what tech- nical value they can glean fronr each form ?" In my opinion, the Karate derived Moo Duk Kwan forms and the Chil Sung forms (which show much similarity to Chinese long hands Chang Chuan) have the same basic technical value i.e.

  • Kwan's Name: “Bluewaves” Meaning a Youngster's Spirit and Vitality
    The Development of the “Kwan’s” Kwan: in Korean literally means building or hall, but when used in martial arts it can also refer to a school or clan of martial artists who follow the same style and/or leader. At the time, there were 9 major Kwans throughout Korea and once someone joined a particular Kwan, it was very difficult to transfer to another Kwan. When someone wanted to transfer to another Kwan, his original Kwan Jang had to authorize and approve the transfer, but in reality, the Kwan Jang usually threatened the member using authoritative means in an effort to persuade the potential transferee to not leave. This was a critical issue in those days. Chung Do Kwan Established by Won Kuk Lee, seated in the middle and next led by Duk Sung Son, the back row, second from the right. After the independence of Korea, the Chung Do Kwan, one of the five key Dojangs, was founded first. It symbolized Chung Do Kwan's name: “Bluewaves” meaning a youngster's spirit and vitality. Chung Do Kwan's founder, LEE Won Kuk, moved to Japan when he was 19 years old in 1926. While in Japan, he first attended middle and high school, and then entered the Law School of Chuo University. Then he entered Japan's Karate headquarters, the Song Do Kwan (Shotokan). He received Karate instruction from Karate's father, Gichin Funakoshi. There, he learned Karate with Song Moo Kwan's founder, RO Byung Jick. Later, he moved back to Korea and taught Tang Soo Do in the Yong Shin school hall in Suh Dae Moon Gu's Ochun Dong, Seoul because he had a good relationship with Japan's Cho-sun Governor General Abe in 1944.

Forrest-Blincoe is a 4th dan black belt master in Tang Soo Do which he has studied in the United States and Korea. He has also studied Taekkyon in South Korea.1 During this time, he has been interested in the official histories of these martial arts in contrast with documented histories (which often differ significantly). Both Forrest and Forrest-Blincoe are trained anthropologists. Forrest specializes in symbols and national identity, and has published extensively on the anthropology of movement and dance. Problem and Aim. The martial arts Taekwondo, Tang Soo Do, and Taekkyon have competed within Korea for some time to rep- resent Korean culture, and Korea has used martial arts as an export as one component in its drive to gain legitimacy as a world power competitive with its more powerful neighbors of China and Japan. This paper examines the process of using martial arts as symbols of Korean national identity.

  • April 19Th, 1938 - November 28, 1985
    (April 19th, 1938 - November 28, 1985) Master Britt By Jesse Elliott: 3rd Dan I enjoyed going through the resources Sabom Medeiros passed on to us for Grandmaster Lee’s 80th birthday. It’s amazing to me that Grandmaster Lee could still be alive today -- 80 years isn’t really that old. But it seems like another age looking back at his life. There are so many stories about him and his training. It seems difficult to imagine training under him and yet, because of all the stories, I can almost picture it myself. The stories about Master Britt have always fascinated me. Master Britt was Grandmaster Lee’s youngest student, he was 12 years old when he started training. I was 10 years old when I started my martial arts training. I have many vivid memories from those early years, but I certainly wasn’t training under Grandmaster Lee. Master Britt was incredibly dedicated and very close to Grandmaster Lee. He was even with Grandmaster Lee in his dying days and was one of the last people to speak with him. On his deathbed, the day before he died, Grandmaster Lee promoted Master Britt to 5th degree, the highest rank Grandmaster Lee had ever awarded. It is inspiring to think of the dedication Master Britt had to the art and to his Master. When I read further about how Master Britt fell on hard times and was unable to teach or train for almost 8 years I was shocked. I had no idea he had been away from Martial Arts at all.

As you may know, I have been teaching this Martial Art to hundreds of students over the past 30 years. I truly believe that every man, women, and child can benefit in many ways from practicing Martial Arts and Tang Soo Do. What are Martial Arts? It is the name given to the traditional systems of self-defense that have been practiced in Eastern and Western societies for thousands of years. Masters of the ancient Martial Arts ultimately discovered that mastery of the body comes through mas- tery of the mind. Therefore, the practice of Martial Arts is a way to a more fulfilling life. It is a path to freedom from self-confinement and the ultimate goal to mental and physical har- mony. Martial Arts training can absolutely change a person physically, psychologically, and emo- tionally in a very positive way. Regular physi- cal activity energizes the body, and since martial arts are based on natural law, the body can quickly reach top conditioning. Once physical changes develop, they soon lead to the mental and emotional improve- ments that many seek through the martial arts.
