Soo Bahk Do (Tang Soo Do) Moo Duk Kwan is the name of the art we study and its direct translation is Soo (hand), Bahk (strike) and Do (art or way).
According to the Moo Yei Do Bo Tong Ji, the name "Bahk" originated in the age of Chun Chu (2700 years ago) and the name "Soo Bahk" originated during the early Jon Han Dynasty in China (2200 years ago) This is the Oldest reference to any martial art name in Korea, based on the historical documentation available.
The Moo Duk Kwan system was founded by GrandMaster Hwang Kee in 1945. Moo Duk Kwan literly means School of Martial Virtue.

Soo Bahk Do (Tang Soo Do) is a martial art system which promotes strong minds, healthy bodies and good character. Soo Bahk Do draws from over 2,000 years of Korean martial art tradition.
Founded by Master Hwang Kee of  Seoul Korea in 1945, it is a combination of both"hard' and "Soft"styles, deriving its hardness from Korean kicking techniques and its softness from Chinese hand methods.
Soo Bahk Do is more than just kicking and punching. It is a practical self defense system that will instill confidence, awareness, and improve your health. You will learn how to handle single and multiple attackers punching kicking grabing are if they are armed with a weapon. Soo Bahk Do is one of the most effective methods of self defense known to man.
