Tang
Soo Do is a classical martial art which is especially noted by most
experts as a superior kicking style.
|
|
It is an ancient martial art originating over 2,000 years ago in Korea
and is one of the oldest forms of karate practiced around the world
today. During the many years of Japanese domination, the Korean
citizenry was expressly forbidden to engage in the practice of martial
arts. As a result, many practitioners went "underground" with their
training.
|
Some ventured into China and Okinawa to escaped capture and
to continue practice of the arts unfettered. One such person, Hwang
Kee, was the founder of Tang Soo Do. Although the Japanese forbade the
practice of martial arts, Hwang Kee continued to practice and teach in
his native homeland.
