I practice Tang Soo Do in Maryland with Tompkins Karate. Tompkins started with Tang Soo Do with Kim (of Kim's Karate TKD fame) before he switched to TKD. He then stayed with Dick Kern. No world organization, but we are big enough that we really don't need one... or ARE one (over 40+ different classes a week at different locations in 3 counties).

I did TSD back in the day. I was with the https://www.imahg.net under GM Ki Yun Yi. The info is on that site eventhough it hasn't been updated in a while. But This is my old dojangs new site http://www.eastcoastkarateinc.com/ and the old one is http://www.imahq.net/East_Coast_Karate.htm I'm in the adult class pic (that tells ya how old it is LOL). I still train there when I visit family in NJ.

I took a college course in MA from Dale Tompkins in the late 70's. It was a lot of fun. I recently got back into the martial arts and am taking TKD at a local dojang. I looked up Tompkins Karate recently on the Internet and was pleasantly surprised to see it's still around. They seem to teach mostly in schools/rec centers but not in my county though. I remember he had a dojang in College Park back when I took my class from him.

He was a very good instructor and I enjoyed the class very much. He in turn told us he was surprised at the control and speed we learned in doing some of the self defense drills in such a short time.
