Question, is that master CI Kim ?? I trained under him in Michigan in the mid 80s Earned a black belt and really felt fortunate to be trained by a true master. Tang soo!
i have a chance to study this art but i am going to study seibukan jujutsu. then move over into bjj after i get another black belt. right now i have my 1st dan in chinese kenpo. and some training in rapid assault tactics. and aikido.
The original martial arts systems taught in Korea after World War II were: Tang Soo Do (Way of the Chinese Hand), Kong Soo Do (Way of the Empty Hand - Japan), & Chuan Fa (Kung Fu or Chinese Boxing). Contrary to much of the groups that have tried to rewrite history, Tae Kwon Do did not come into existence until the early to mid 1960s. It was the Korean government that tried to unite all of the original schools/Kwans under one banner called Tae Soo Do. Shortly after this the name was changed to Tae Kwon Do. The government encouraged the removal of the Japanese influence in the techniques. This was due to the atrocities that occurred during the Japanese occupation of the Korean peninsula from 1910 to 1945. Our Tang Soo Do incorporates techniques that make up approximately 40% Chinese influenced techniques. A lot of traditional Tae Kwon Do schools can trace their roots to Tang Soo Do or Kong Soo Do schools. In the 1990s Tae Kwon Do became an Olympic sport. For some this may be detrimental to the martial art, yet others see it as a positive aspect to the martial art. I would agree that Traditional Tae Kwon Do and Tang Soo Do look very similar, but if you put Olympic style Tae Kwon Do next to Tang Soo Do, they look very different from each other. Tang Soo Do chambers most of their basic hand techniques from the waist. Tae Kwon Do chambering is to the side of the body in the air away from their torso. Tang Soo Do in general uses a lot of hip rotation and hip extension in hand and foot techniques. Tae Kwon Do uses some, but focuses more on speed than power, therefore the hip rotation and motion is not as pronounced. Regardless of which system you study, there are definitely positive aspects to all of those systems. I hope this helps, and good luck to you!
@@kennedysmartialartsacademy7674 my school I learned at teaches the hand techniques chambered from the waist. I know taekwondo has roots in shotokahn karate also and many of the forms are nearly the same as shotokahns.
Tang Soo Do resembles its Shotokan karate parent a lot more closely than Tae Kwon Do does, so much so that TSD is more like a younger sibling than offspring. Also, like Shotokan, it seems to me to more effective in actual combat. If I could liken martial arts to military training, TSD would be a live firing exercise and TKD would be parade Square drill.
It's a hyung (form aka kata). The way it's performed in this context is to reinforce the proper techniques all the way from lifting the foot to putting it back down. This commits proper technique to muscle memory. These kicks are extremely powerful when delivered with speed.
@@ScottGarrettDrums dont blow sunshine up my ass... That's garbage technique. What's the point of practicing a shit kick then end up with a well rehearsed muscle memory shit kick. Your talking to a 4th Dan TKD and 3rd Dan Hapkido... those arent powerful kicks "at speed", those are crap kicks emphasizing all the wrong aspects... you need clean the shit off your glasses.
I could be wrong but to me it also looked like the toes where pointing straight, like a ballet dancer. Would it not make more sense to pull the toes back and hit with the ball of the foot like a karate style mae- geri.
That’s a great question @U_Say_What_Fool ! In Tang Soo Do, you can kick with different parts of the foot to target different areas of the body. If you’re aiming for the side of the body, pointing the toes makes sure that you’re able to reach your target. If you’re kicking higher (Ex: Kicking to the front of the face), using the blade part or ball of the foot helps you to actually hit the target. It’s all about the angles you’re using to kick!
Chuck Norris actually started his martial arts career in Judo. He got up to a brown belt when he broke his arm. That's when he got started in Tang Soo Do, focusing on the leg movements while his arm healed up.
Edmond Johnson many dojang’s outside of the us have a lesser standard. That’s why Mr Norris broke away from them years ago. Black belt in a year has been acceptable in Korea for many years. Americans place, in general, a higher standard on black belt.
Your comment is off topic. Regardless, I will address it. There is an overwhelming amount of people that believe children should not learn martial arts. This stems from the 1950s thru the early 1980s. When I started training in the 1970s, there were very few kids training. Most of the people that trained were adult males with a military background. There was a much smaller law enforcement contingent training as well. Sparring consisted of bare knuckle matches with no protective gear whatsoever. It was not uncommon for these students to walk out with bloody noses, cut lips, shiners and concussions. If a student quit, that student was viewed as weak and not worthy of receiving a black belt. Very few instructors believed that women should train. Some refused to teach females altogether and would not even entertain the idea. Fighting was viewed as a male trait. Gosh forbid we train a female to defend herself against a violent male criminal. Sadly, this is discrimination against all others that were not a male. What is sad, is that these viewpoints are still be spouted today. I have seen it from some so-called “masters” in my martial art and others. I am fortunate in that my instructor was different. He did not care what color you were or what gender you were. All he asked was that you did your best in class and practiced outside of class to improve. I firmly believe that children should learn martial arts especially in today’s date and age. When I started training, bullying existed in school and occasionally on the telephone. Today most children have to deal with bullying through electronics and cyberspace as well as in person. The need to learn martial arts to learn how to handle threat and conflicts is critical for them to grow as a person. And then there are the pedophiles out there. It was rare to hear about pedophiles when I was a kid, but today it seems like they are all around us. The students I have trained have used their martial arts techniques to escape bullying. And I have had one student escape a pedophile by using what I have taught them. If these students did not have these tools at their disposal, then things would be much worse. Let us face it, in today's day and age fist fights are a thing of the past. Most people carry weapons and are all too quick to use them. Someone is killed or injured in a road rage shooting every 18 hours nationally. If you live in Chicagoland area, it’s much worse. The only people in fist fights are school aged children. The kids programs came into existence thanks in large part to movies like, "The Karate Kid". So I am happy that it opened the eyes of many that children can and should receive the benefits of training in martial arts. I view your comment as a thing of the past. Propagating stereotypes like that is dangerous and sadly backwards in logic. It is my hope that those like yourself evolve to reflect modern times or you will follow the path of the dinosaurs of the past.
@@kennedysmartialartsacademy7674 Appreciate your reply. I'm good with everything you have said, and have no issue with children studying martial arts... that's not my point. My point is that giving a teenager a Black Belt is a recipe for disaster. They are NOT Black Belts. I'd suggest you consider a different ranking system for children like we do in BJJ. That allows children to stay interested and achieving, but let's them know under no uncertain terms that they are not Black Belts and don't have that level of capability. I sincerely hope that helps...
There a lot of different martial arts out there to choose from. And each one has its own style in how they do techniques. But when it comes down to it, there are only so many ways to punch or kick. (Elbows and knees included) some arts are more aggressive and some are more passive. They all end up with one goal though. Beat your opponent.
This is what they use in cobra Kai
True
William Zabka is a second degree black belt in Tang Soo Do.

I hate the way koreans do kata or (poomse) it's so robotic and hard to watch. That girl doing Kusanku had great technique tho so good for her.
Thank you!
i think that the sabumnim needs to work on poomsae more and isolation the techniques .....needs a lot of work she should visit a dojang outside the us
