A funny fact: shotokan was a name given by Funakoshi's students to his school, but the style that he used to teach was okinawan shorin ryu.

Great video. Thanks for breaking that down. I have a question. Have you heard of Kong Soo Do? It seems to be very similar to Tang Soo Do. Still coming from Shotokan in Japan.

Gichin Funakoshi while he brought Okinawa karate to Japan , intended to make karate a Japanese style , he changed in a word ,,karate ,, first hieroglyph , which mean , chineese , to the another hieroglyph with same pronounce which means ,,empty, , so instead chineese hand word ,,karate,, became meaning ,empty hand , so on Korean pronunciation word karate as chineese hand meaning will be pronounced like tang soo do , as ,empty hand ,, will be pronounced like kong soo do . The same way Japanese word aikido on Korean will be pronounced like hapkido , aiki ju-jitsu like hapki- yusul , Budo like Mudo

Tang Soo Do (唐手道) - The Way of the Tang Peoples' (Chinese ) Hands

What is your point? It's somewhat controversial, or it's not really controversial? The only people who question the founding of Tang Soo Do are the ones who belong to some fly-by-night association who are trying to justify their existence. Politics and petty jealousies have more to do with questioning the founding of Tang Soo Do.

Good point. TSD is just a rung on the evolution of Karate. A branch. It was proven effective in matches against Japanese stylists in the US. And you are right, its all petty fighting. Most of it has to do with money, and income. And a bit of ego. I think the Koreans know more about other Koreans then we do, yet due to Eastern codes of conduct, they keep it to themselves. I think this is why a lot of the MDK had no problems converting to the name of TKD when they did. Hwang Kee did a lot of lying early on. Simply looking at the Hyung shows they are indeed from Shotokan. His book mentions the Okinawans, and bypasses the Japanese. And yet with all the evidence, associations as you stated do push false histories. I find it amazing that people that talk about and demand truth, honor and respect will act the way they do in this area. I used to before the World TSD Assoc was inter J.C. Shin, and when I asked him about TSD history, he pushed a line of BS on me bypassing the truth by miles. I also studied Okinawan, and Japanese styles, and knew the evolution of kata and she changed what, and it was clear from Day one that it's all from Shotokan. Well, most of it. But I could never understand why! It was improved upon by many of the matters, and street fighting after WW2 and the Korean war. It just made no sense. Oh well, time rolls on.

Not true about the name . The original name of karate in Okinawa is to-te which means Tang -hand, referring to Chinese -Hand. But the Japanese wanted to dissociate it from the Chinese and renamed it Karate Do which means the way if the Empty hand (which doesn’t make sense when you consider the plethora of weapons). To-te spoken in Korean is Tang-soo which is very similar to Chinese Tang-shao. So Tang-Soo Do is the Korean of the original Okinawan name giving homage to the Chinese origins .
