Soo Bahk Do™ is the name of the martial art founded and taught by Hwang Kee, his successor HC Hwang, and instructors who are certified by the World Moo Duk Kwan Inc™.
Hwang Kee Created the Moo Duk Kwan™ school of martial arts on 9th November 1945.
He originally called his art Tang Soo Do, but later changed this to Soo Bahk Do in recognition of the ancient Korean fighting style of Subak.
Soo Bahk Do (Tang Soo Do) Moo Duk Kwan is a combination of several fighting principles, including Korean Soo Bahk Ki, Chinese Shaolin Kung Fu, and Japanese Shotokan Karate,
with the moral guidelines and philosophy of Tao, Lao Tzu and Confucius.

Tang Soo Do is the Korean pronunciation of the Chinese characters 
- meaning "Tang (China) hand way" - now often translated as "open handed way". The same characters are pronounced karate-do in Japanese.
So, Soo Bahk Do™ (Tang Soo Do) is a Korean open hand (karate) style martial art.
Moo Duk Kwan™ is the organisation that certifies our instructors, controls the syllabus and maintains the integrity of our art.
In the UK, Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan is controlled by the UKSBD™ Federation.
