A History of World Tang Soo Do: Part 1

[@Antoine24425]

One of my favorite martial arts books is called "American Tang Soo Do Hyungs: A Guide to Black Belt." I use it to teach me the Forms/Katas. Nice content! Keep up the good work, that KZbin Gold Play Button is in your future.

daMN, that animated section was good! Thanks for bringing some history into life

[@barrettokarate]

Tang Soo Do's origins only go back to 1944. Won Kuk Lee, who founded the Chung Do Kwan was the first person to coin the term, YEARS before Kee Hwang did. He was a student of Shotokan founder, Gichin Funakoshi. Its time that people stop with this whole Tang Soo Do and Taekwondo are 2,000 years old stuff, they're not. Taekwondo come from Tang Soo Do and Kong Soo Do (Shudokan). Even the late, great, Jhoon Rhee stated their origins come form Japanese karate. Hapkido, Yudo (judo), kundo (kendo) all acknowledge their Japanese roots. Only TSD and TDK refuse to, despite all these founders of kwan (except Hwang, whose is suspect) trained in Japan or were students of those who had trained in Japan. Hong-Hi Choi, the _"the father of Taekwondo"_ trained in Shotokan in Japan and later on received honorary rank from the Chung Do Kwan. Tang Soo when written in Hanja/Kanji are the same as the original Hanja/kanji ("Chinese Hand") for karate before it was changed to "empty hand".

Thank you . I was watching this, shaking my head ,thinking what kind of propaganda is this? That last little bit if animation was very misleading, captivating perhaps , but clearly Derogatory

[@fartsare2023]

My thoughts exactly. Although Korea did bring high dynamic kicking into their curriculum, Tang soo do is basically upgraded Shotokan karate.

[@tm114paul]

All nine Kwans' founder have Shotokan as the core art. That's why Gen Choi tried to path away from Karate. There're some Shotokan's traces in TKD basics eventhough they were claiming that it was derived from Takkyeon. (Some of TKD practitoners admitted that it was derived from both arts.)

[@ThrashArt]

@@tm114paul Actually, there is no evidence that one of the Kwan founders trained in Taekkyon. Even Gen. Choi admitted later, that he never received any formal training in Taekkyon. So the influence of Taekkyon on TSD and later TKD is probably more of an ideological one. However, Song Deok Ki, the last active Taekkyon practitioner from Joseon was even invited to the Kukkiwon, but this was in the 1970s, after he had been traced by the TKD-community in Korea.

[@tm114paul]

@@ThrashArt Those info have never been found any solid evidence about deriving from Taekkyeon, SO Unfortunately. By the way, Song Deok Ki was invited but no any record what he told about TKD at all???

唐手(Karate as japanese pronunciation/ Tang soo as Korean pronunciation) is the former name of 空手(Karate) 唐手(Tang soo) is made by Sakugawa Kanga in 19th century Okinawa. That's all. No more mythtic legend is needed for the truth.

[@satoshihiramatsu8324]

Korean hates to admit it originated Okinawa Japan. They have to come up with some ideas that the origin is in their peninsula where was mostly Chinese influences.

[@stevelutz8293]

These videos are great. Thanks!!

[@elimontes5548]

Thank you!

[@lutherking2632]

I love the idea

[@Katcom111]

Isn't all martial art grappling-based. In any country, a form of wrestling was the first start. That being said this happened in China and Japan not just Korea. Then again, Japan and Korea did get influence from China. So yeah, we can say their martial art of origin was from China.

[@superglou913gomez3]

The aniated part looks a lot like a northern kung fu style.

[@baizankomuso4587]

Japan didn't to forbid practice of Korean martial arts. Korean traditional martial arts is only archery. Korean people practiced Korean archery during Japanese occupation. In 1929, a book entitled "Archery in Korea" was published.

[@ReubenAStern]

Haha now we know how Hwarang in tekken got his name!

[@tm114paul]

ITF form also has this name.

[@kdefensemartialarts8097]

It's a decent presentation except for the misinformation and clear propaganda about TKD and Tang Soo Do being two thousand years old. I started training in TKD and Japanese Go-Ju Ryu karate in the 60's. And continued to train and teach for the next 50 years. I am well aware of the development of TKD and Katate. It's pure fiction to claim that TKD is two thousand years old.
