Master Frederick
Scott, 7th Dan, is founder of the
Traditional
Tang Soo Do International organization and Chief
Instructor of
Amkor
Karate Institutes. Master Scott established
the first Amkor school in 1977. Since then, six of his students, all
of whom hold Master level rank, have established additional Amkor
schools throughout the state of Pennsylvania.
Recognized both nationally and internationally as one of the leading
American instructors of traditional Tang Soo Do, Master Scott's
achievements as a competitor, instructor and tournament coordinator
are well documented.
Although Master Scott's teaching philosophy has always emphasized
the preservation of Tang Soo Do as an art form, he believes
traditional training can be supplemented with sport competition. As
a result, Amkor students have won more than 225 national and 22
international Gold medals since 1977 and have represented the United
States in some of the most prestigious martial arts competitions in
the world.
Master Scott's expertise is also highly prized by professional
athletes. He has served as a consultant to the Philadelphia Flyers,
the Philadelphia Phantoms and the Philadelphia 76ers. In addition to
his work with athletes, he has also served as a consultant to the
Disney Institute in the creation of a self-defense program for their
state-of-the-art sports complex in Orlando, Florida.
In August of 2004, Master Scott traveled to the Olympics in Athens,
Greece as a member of NBC's Broadcast team. Longtime student Pat
Croce was a commentator for the NBC television broadcast of the
Olympic Tae Kwon Do events.

of the world's highest ranking Moo Duk Kwan practitioners:
Grandmaster Hwang Kee, Grandmaster Kang Uk Lee, and Grandmaster Andy
Ah Po.
Master Scott's technical level matured under the direction of
Grandmaster Hyun Chul Hwang, son of the founder of Tang Soo Do.
