As we celebrate the rich history of the Moo Duk Kwan, it is also fitting that we recall those whose footsteps we have followed to our current destination. Over the years, Moo Duk Kwan® Founder Kee selected various individuals and entities to serve as licensed Moo Duk Kwan® representatives and successful organizations have grown in many countries. 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 Moo Duk Kwan Federation in 1975.

Preservation of the Soo Bahk Do® martial art system depends on practitioners who are motivated to serve the art as instructors and to serve as stewards of the Federation in official roles and capacities. Less than 1% of practitioners become instructors certified by the Moo Duk Kwan® and even fewer become school owners certified by the Moo Duk Kwan.

Federation’s Certified School Owners and Officials work tirelessly toward our mission objectives and the preservation of our art for future generations.
