Not really an attempt at humor.

 

I know it wasn't Moo Duk Kwan; I have also studied it. I would've recognize the name.

 

i actually have a 2nd Dan in Moo Duk Kwan

 

Very inferior art, that Moo Duk Kwan. good for competitions

 

The style that i studied was an effective art, but the styles that were taught for competitions were very inferior. Those classes that teach one to not punch to the head and just stand toe to toe doing round houses all day are a joke to me. It's hard for one to learn a serious Martial Art, then go to a tournament that limits you as much as the WTF and USTU do.

 

No offense meant for any Moo Duk Kwan stylists, i guess my attach should have been more toward the USTU and WTF.

The Moo Duk Kwan is an organization (and a philosophy), not a style. The style, or art, is Soo Bahk Do or Tang Soo Do (I think Tang Soo Do has their own organization).

 

correct me if I'm wrong, but that's how it's been taught to me (I train in Soo Bahk Do, but learn the philosphy of the Moo Duk Kwan).

 

*shrugs*

 

maybe it's just semantics.

I studied in a Moo Duk Kwan Tae Kwon Do class for a couple years. The way that I understood it was that Moo Duk Kwan was a different branch or style (for lack of better word right now) of Tae Kwon Do. I don't think it's so much of a philosophy, although they did stress a lot of ethics and morals. I never once heard the words Soo Bahk Do come up from any of the Masters, Instructors or students that i studied under.

 

Perhaps someone could shine some more light on this subject...
