Master Jan van der Schee started training in the art of Tae Kwondo in 1971 at the age of 17. The only martial arts heard of at that time in Holland were Boxing, Judo, Ju Jitsu and Karate. It was a whole new world to explore.

Tae Kwondo at that time was still quite similar to Tang Soo Do. They even performed Hyung's. This was logical because different Tang Soo Do teachers were teaching Tae Kwondo. The style he practiced was Tae Kwondo Moo Duk Kwan taught by Kwan Jang Nim Theo P. Salm. In 1978, Master van der Schee began teaching.

Due to some difficulties in 1979 between some Do Jangs and the Dutch Tae Kwondo Association, a Black Belt meeting was held under the leadership of Kwan Jang Nim Salm and Sa Bom Nim Putte where they decided to break with Tae Kwondo and go back to the basics - Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan. This was the start for Tang Soo Do in the Netherlands.

With the switch to Tang Soo Do, all instructors had to take training courses from different Masters and Grandmasters. Master van der Schee was taught in Belgium by Master Beom Jhoo Lee (teacher of Jean-Claude van Damme). He also traveled many times to England where he was instructed by Kwan Jang Nim Kang Uk Lee and from where he received his 4th Dan.

He has also had instruction from Kwan Jang Nims Hwang Kee and his son H. C. Hwang. Some other instructors he trained with were Kwan Jang Nims Richard Byrne, Dominic Giacobbe, Benedetto Stumpf and many more. In 2010 in Cardiff, Wales, he received his 7th Dan from Grandmaster Richard Byrne for his work in Tang Soo Do.

Master van der Schee is always busy giving instruction in Tang Soo Do and he also provides management training with Tang Soo Do as basic. Every year he organizes the Annual Beach training in the Netherlands, which is one of most loved events of the year.
