About Us
 Launched
in March 2007, this website had been a work-in-progress for over a year, to serve as a reference
source for
Tang Soo Do practitioners. The worldwide school and federation
directory is the core of the site, with over 1,000 listings at
inception. The School Directory should be a useful tool for
prospective students looking for a school to begin training, for those who are
moving or for travelers who may want to train while away from home.
In the Federation
Directory you will find listings for all the major Tang Soo Do
organizations, and some you may not be familiar with. If you're
interested in knowing when and where tournaments and seminars are being
held, then the Events
Calendar will provide basic information with links to the
organizers' websites for further details and registration information.
Tang Soo Do World is
certainly not the first website offering Tang Soo Do
information, but it is the most comprehensive resource
currently available.
The challenge will be keeping information current, accurate,
interesting and original. Since this is a personal project to further the study of
Tang Soo Do, there is no
"staff" or funding to speak of, and so we welcome submissions from instructors
and senior Dans on topics than can educate, stimulate and enlighten. The Submit Info link
above
will outline how information can be sent to us for inclusion.
My
own martial arts training began 27 years ago in 1981 with Kyokushinkai and then
Isshinryu. In 1987 I began studying Tang Soo Do, and achieved the rank
of 4th Dan in April, 1999. During that time, I was fortunate to not only meet and test before the founder,
Grandmaster Kee Hwang and current Grandmaster H. C. Hwang, but to
have trained under my own teachers whose
knowledge, technique and passion inspired me both as a
student and now, instructor. Their philosophy and attention to detail has
deepened my appreciation for the art and helped me stay the course for so many years.
For that, thank you Master Darrell
Schulze, Master Young Ki Hong (son-in-law of the late founder), Master
In Kee Hong, and Master David Jenne.
For all of you who visit,
thank you also. We will do our best to keep you coming back.
Master Terrigno is the owner
/ instructor of Two Dragons Tang Soo Do in Sanford, FL
Sincerely,
Master Constantino Terrigno
