HISTORY

Master Kwan Jang Nim Hwang Kee
Founder of Tang Soo Do

Korean has a long history of civilization. Like all ancient civilizations, it has periodically engaged in military activities. This has led to the build up of martial arts tradition expanding till today.

During the 4^th century AD, wandering monks from China introduced Buddhism to Korea. Some of these monks were accomplished martial artists, as indeed they had to be for their own safety. There are reliable records of them teaching lay people martial art.

The Silla Dynasty (668-935 AD) was a period when the martial arts expanded rapidly in Korea. The Kingdom of Silla was one of three Kingdoms in Korea. It occupied the south eastern part of the Korean Peninsula. It was notable or the military prowess of its taunt warrior class, the Hwa Rang. The five basic principles of Tang Soo Do derive from the principles of these elite warriors.

At the beginning of the Yi Dynasty (1390-1970 AD), the National Martial Arts Manual, ‘Moo Yei Bo Tong Ji’, was published and the term ‘Soo Bahk Do’ (‘way of hand fighting’) became widely used. During the occupation of Korea by Japan (1907-1945) the practice of native martial arts was prohibited. This prohibition forced many Koreans Soo Bahk Do to emigrate, or to practice secretly.

Following deliberation of Korea in 1945, the Moo Duk Kwan (‘Institute of Martial Virtue’) and four other Martial Arts Schools were formed. The Moo Duk Kwan Chi Do Kwan Later formed the Korean Soo Bahk Do Association in 1960 to develop the study and practice of traditional Korean Martial arts. Tang Soo (Soo Bahk) Do has since spread throughout the world.
