WHAT IS KOREAN TANG SOO DO?

The fighting art of Tang Soo Do is believed to have originated 2,000 years ago during Korea's Three Kingdoms period. Silla, the smallest and least populated region of the peninsula, was under constant attack from the larger and more powerful Paekje and Koguryo kingdoms. After a few centuries, the Silla rulers are believed to have allied themselves with a skilled fighting force created by the Tang dynasty monarchs of China (618-907). It was then that the Tang Soo warriors were born. For several years, this elite group of combatants trained on the rocky beaches of southern Korea, where they honed themselves into a fierce fighting force which defeated the two dynasties’ and unified the country into what is now known today as Korea.
