Moo Duk Kwan is a Korean martial art split into two groups.
Soo Bahk Do was founded by Grand Master Hwang Kee, November 9, 1945. Moo Duk Kwan Taekwondo merged together with eight other Kwans to form Taekwondo.
There is no actual known founder of the Korean martial art Tang Soo Do, however the name for the art of Tang Soo Do was adopted by Hwang Kee, the person who founded Moo Duk Kwan.
The origin of Tang Soo Do can not be traced to any single person or year. Lee Won Kuk the founder of the Chung Do Kwan school was credited as the first person to teach Tang Soo Do in Korea. Most Tang Soo Do stylist however can trace their lineage back to Hwang Kee and his Moo Duk Kwan school founded on November 9, 1945.

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.
