What is Tang Soo Do?
Grandmaster Chong Su Kim, Founder of the Pan-Am Tang Soo Do Federation
|
Tang Soo Do is a traditional Korean Martial Art with influences from traditional Korean Karate, as well as elements of Chinese and Japanese styles. Although its routes can be traced back even farther in time, modern Tang Soo Do was founded in 1945 by Grandmaster Hwang Kee under the name Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan. Incorporating self-defense, physical fitness, and mental growth, Tang Soo Do has grown worldwide as one of the most recognized and traditional martial arts.
Tang Soo Do incorporates both kicks and punches in its system of self-defense. Students learn traditional Korean forms, along with sparring, board breaking, and weapons, to create a well rounded individual, helping them become as successful as possible in all areas of life. Tang Soo Do's most famous practitioner is Chuck Norris, who started his martial arts training while in the Air Force in Korea. |
