How many styles of Tae Kwon Do in all?

In Taekwondo, many experts prefer not to label the differences in curriculums as "styles." They are what were known as "Kwans" which means a family of related schools under the leadership of one founder (the "Kwanjang"). There were five original Kwans which branched out to more than 20 or 30 between 1945 and 1955. Eventually, nine Kwans were officially recognized. They were unified in the Korea Taekwondo Association, numbered, and required by the Korean Government to be dissolved (the agreement was signed by the Kwan leaders, but each Kwan remains active today)Five original KwansChung Do KwanSong Moo KwanMu Duk KwanKwan Bop Bu / Chang Moo KwanYun Moo Kwan / JidokwanLater KwansHan Moo KwanOh Do Kwan: formed by former Chung Do Kwan students (Gen.
