 Grand Master Duk Sung Son's Side Kick

Tae Kwon Do - Korean Karate

   Tae Kwon Do is a modern term first coined in 1955 by Grand Master Duk Sung Son, 9th degree black belt and President of the World Tae Kwon Do Association (WTKDA). Tae Kwon Do taught in traditional fashion utilizes non-contact sparring to ensure safety and teach non-violence. Grand Master Duk Sun Son is the author of two texts, Korean Karate: the Art of Tae Kwon Do (1968) and Black Belt Korean Karate (1983), and is seen from time to time in martial arts magazine interviews. Grand Master Duk Sung Son personally teaches all classes at the WTKDA Headquarters’. The WTKDA is the oldest and largest martial arts association in the United States. His organization has grown to a level of over 450 schools from coast to coast.

   There were many martial art schools in Korea, but the largest and most important of the Kwan's was the Chung Do Kwan Institute, who's membership swelled to over 5,000. Then on June 25, 1950 war broke out, and Grand Master Won Kuk Lee appointed Master Duk Sung Son as the headmaster over the Chung Do Kwan. G.M. Lee's instructor in Japan was Gichin Funakoshi, the founder of Shotokan Karate. This is the origin of Traditional Tae Kwon Do forms.  <More>
