Did Tae Kwon Do originate from Tang Soo Do?
Tang Soo do was the Korean version meaning "the way of Chinese hand" and was the name used by Won Kuk Lee to describe what he taught at the first official Korean Martial Art school in 1944 called the Chung Do Kwan. The name Tang soo Do was later used by one of the Kwans that did not merge to form the art of Taekwondo. Modern Taekwondo was developed by combining the instructions taught at various Kwan (schools) with a base tactic of kicking that was borrowed from the native Korean Tae kkyeon (aka: "tae kyon" - the "kicking method"). There were also influences from Chinese and Japanese sources in the early Taekwondo instruction, but Taekwondo has evolved to reflect a primarily unique Korean Martial Art. Taekwondo was created in Korea. It's Korean martial art. Not Japanese. There were influences from: 1) Subak (ancient Korean hand strikes and grappling) 2) Tae kkyeon ( Korean Kicking method) 3) Hwarangdo ( Social warrior training of youth of Korean nobility) 4) Tang Soo Do ( Chinese hand fighting mixed with native Korean methods) 5) Yudo (Korean version of Japanese Judo learned during Japanese occupation) 6) Hapkido (Korean version of Aikijutsu similar to Aikido with mixture of kicks) 7) Shotokan Karate (taught to a few Kwan founders by Gichen Funakoshi) 8) Taekwondo ( Korean "way of the hand and foot" named on April 11, 1955)
