TKD and TSD are slot alike, however TSD is more traditional, in korea in there where many different types of martial arts that where very similar, these where known as kwons, moo duk kwon, sul duk kwon,hwa soo do, soo bak do, and so on. well in the 70's. all these martial arts where unified and called Tae Kwon Do, thus the formation of the World Tae Kwon Do Federation and Kukkiwan. so your modern TSD schools and masters have simply just stayed alittle closer to the roots of there particular Kwon. hope this helps

nomatter what it be, will power and heart produces great things

Actually, the kwons were unified in the '60s when General Choi created Taekwondo, which became the ITF. The WTF came along later, as you mentioned, in the '70s.

From what I understand, Kwang Kee did not like the structure of the new "Official Martial Art of Korea" as TKD, and kept his kwon, Tang Soo Do, the way it was.

Not all schools of TKD are run like the WTF does it. The ITF and some of the other, smaller organizations of TKD will run things similar to the way TSD schools run. The forms may be different, but the mannerisms of the classes will be similar.

I thought they Taekwondo was recognised in the 50s?
