| wmks shogun did a pretty good job of explaining it. But to muddy the waters even more...From what I remember...The name change itself was more so to set itself apart, distinct from all the other Tang Soo Do's out there. Once SBD went with the name change, all of the TSD schools had the opportunity to unify and go with the standardized SBD. If not, then they could still be TSD, just not with the rights to names,symbols,forms, etc. So again, the name change was more to unify and set apart.
Now, the addition and subtraction of forms on the other hand was more so to break apart from their "roots". As stated, the Chil Sung and yuk ro forms were created by GM. Hwank Kee. It seems that they are slowly getting rid of forms (such as the pyung ahn forms) or making them optional because they were not created by GM Hwang Kee.
Hope that made sense
Congrats on the grading! |
