Great video. Thanks for breaking that down. I have a question. Have you heard of Kong Soo Do? It seems to be very similar to Tang Soo Do. Still coming from Shotokan in Japan.
Gichin Funakoshi while he brought Okinawa karate to Japan , intended to make karate a Japanese style , he changed in a word ,,karate ,, first hieroglyph , which mean , chineese , to the another hieroglyph with same pronounce which means ,,empty, , so instead chineese hand word ,,karate,, became meaning ,empty hand , so on Korean pronunciation word karate as chineese hand meaning will be pronounced like tang soo do , as ,empty hand ,, will be pronounced like kong soo do . The same way Japanese word aikido on Korean will be pronounced like hapkido , aiki ju-jitsu like hapki- yusul , Budo like Mudo
What is your point? It's somewhat controversial, or it's not really controversial? The only people who question the founding of Tang Soo Do are the ones who belong to some fly-by-night association who are trying to justify their existence. Politics and petty jealousies have more to do with questioning the founding of Tang Soo Do.
Not true about the name . The original name of karate in Okinawa is to-te which means Tang -hand, referring to Chinese -Hand. But the Japanese wanted to dissociate it from the Chinese and renamed it Karate Do which means the way if the Empty hand (which doesn’t make sense when you consider the plethora of weapons). To-te spoken in Korean is Tang-soo which is very similar to Chinese Tang-shao. So Tang-Soo Do is the Korean of the original Okinawan name giving homage to the Chinese origins .
A funny fact: shotokan was a name given by Funakoshi's students to his school, but the style that he used to teach was okinawan shorin ryu.
Tang Soo do is my life loved the video!
Stay with us. Tang Soo Do hyung application videos coming in a couple weeks.
Thank you this was very helpful
