Never heard of this organization before.

[islandman]

it was created by Danilo Ceralde (3rd Dan)

[bushido_man96]

Very interesting. What was his motivation for creating this organization?

[KamasandSais]

dont know either.

[danbong]

Is he in the Andy Ahpo family tree?

It seems odd that a 3rd dan would break away and create his own style, doesn't it? I would think that one would not do this until he had achieved a masters rank, or something similar. However, I could be wrong.

Well, it isn't his own style it sounds like. In TSD 4th dan is masters rank... so he isn't too far off. But this brings us to the question of: Should we know of Universal TSD? I would say no, because it is unlikely that a 3rd dan would be of sufficient stature to develop a large organization. It also leads me to ask islandman: Are you a U TSD student? Do you have questions about their training? What type of responses are you looking for?

Should anyone have heard of it, Islandman? I belong to a relativesly small TSD organization and I'm sure not many have heard of it. However, we and our organization head still consider Hwang Kee and HC Hwang our KJN's and ultimate authorities with regard to our training techniques, forms, etc.

What association are you in? Do you do Chil Sun, Hwa Sun, and Yuk ro hyung?
