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.

While in the United States Army during the Vietnam War, he lived in Okinawa and trained with many of the most knowledgeable Asian Masters in the world today. Master Scott received his Tang Soo Do credentials from three 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.
