Tang Soo Do Forms

A good reference to Tang Soo Do Forms.

Note for Central Michigan Karate Students, we have some minor differences in movements or emphasis of techniques, however these are a good resource to check if you are stuck working on a form.  Remember to get with an instructor or upper ranking person to review any forms you are having difficulty with.

Special Thanks to Master D. McHenry for taking time to help other TSD Students.

Chronology of Tang Soo Do in the U.S.A.

A really neat list of historical events of Tang Soo Do in the USA.

Chronology of US Tang Soo Do

Grandmaster Dale Drouillard

I wanted to pass along this link to the "Tang Soo Do World" web site honoring Grandmaster Dale Drouillard who was the first American to be awarded a Black Belt in Tang Soo Do.

LINK:  http://www.tangsoodoworld.com/whos_who_profiles/dale_drouillard.htm

I had the honor of meeting him at the KI Nationals in 2006 and also at 2nd & 3rd International Tang Soo Do Seminars hosted by Grand Master Kang Uk Lee.

My personal best training highlight so far in my career was in 2007 at the 3rd International Tang Soo Do Seminar.  I was invited to attend the masters workshop a small group session for learning Chil Sung 3 which was taught by Grandmaster Kang Uk Lee assisted by Grandmaster Dale Drouillard.  This was a small group session of about 24 people consisting of so many legendary martial artists.  The 1st position in class was filled by Grandmaster David J. Praim, proceeded by Master Floyd Soo, Master Mike March, Master Ed Cutlip, Master Kirk Rehn and many others.

I felt very honored to attend this class session and recognized that I would probably never in my life be in the same spot with so many Amazing Martial Arts Masters at one time. 

After the session I remarked to Grandmaster Praim that I had never imagined training in the same class with him and he laughed.  During this time I was training with the Shelby KI group, which is Grandmaster Praims Black Belt School.
