MartialMan47, on the name change, do you mean from Tang Soo Do to Soo Bahk Do? If so, part of it was so that GM Hwang Kee had picked up legal rights to the name Soo Bahk Do, and therefore, no one else could use it without his permission, whereas Tang Soo Do was, I believe, so used that it had become public domain (or something like that). Also, Soo Bahk Do was drawing on the old Korean Subak (an older pre-occupation era martial art that happened to be mentioned in the aforementioned Muyo Dobu Tongji). So the short answer is sort of like the Japanese change from Okinawan names, but with a few additional reasons. When the Koreans changed from Tang Soo Do and Tong Soo Do to Tae Soo Do and Tae Kwon Do, that was more like the Japanese/Okinawan change, as I understand it. |
