Elky Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 tang soo do is more like a mix of muaythay and traditional tkd.tkd traditionally looks more like karate. in sport it is kicks only Tang Soo Do / Dangsudo is Koreanised Shotokan. Tang Soo Do is the Korean pronunciation of the Okinawan words kara te dō (Tang dynasty, hand, way). The forms of TSD are shotokan forms performed slightly differently and the techniques are given a Korean flavour but it's still Korean Karate rather than some amalgam of MT and TKD.

I don't see many Muay Thai components in TSD, what I have seen of it, anyway. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it looked like those 2.When performing Tang soo do resembles Muay Thai Fighters than Japanese Karate-ka- more emphasis on kicks, than the hand techniques that Japanese rely on(no, im not saying Shotokan did not have kicks)but if you want to get technical, it is really similar to traditional Korean TKD. <> Be humble, train hard, fight dirty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
