Detail: Hwang Kee was born in 1914, in Jang Dan, Kyong Ki province of Korea. When Hwang Kee was about seven years old, he witnessed a man being attacked by several other men. The solitary man used Taekyon techniques to defeat his attackers and Hwang Kee followed the man asked if he could learn the techniques. Of course, at this particular time, Korea was occupied by Japan and the practice and teaching of Korean martial arts was forbidden. Even though the man wouldn’t teach Hwang Kee, he often went to the man’s house to watch him practice and then imitate what he had seen. For the next 14 years, although there were no formal or structured classes he could attend, he took advantage of every opportunity to learn and practice Taekyon and Subak. At age 21, Hwang Kee went to Manchuria to work for the railroad and while he was there, he met a Chinese martial arts master named Yang, Kuk Jin. Master Yang instructed Hwang Kee in a variety of Chinese martial arts styles. When Hwang Kee returned to Korea in 1939, he continued to practice his martial arts skills in private and, in addition to his Korean and Chinese styles, he studied Okinawan Karate. When Korea regained its independence in 1945, Hwang Kee immediately siezed the opportunity to pursue his martial arts full time and started a Tang Soo Do school in Seoul named Moo Duk Kwan. Hwang Kee was, of course, recognized as a martial arts master and was referred to as Master Hwang Kee. Master Hwang Kee’s school, Moo Duk Kwan, which means ‘Martial Virtue School’ was one of five kwans established immediately after liberation. The others were Chong Do Kwan (Blue WaveSchool), Song Mu Kwan (Pine Tree School), Chang Mu Kwan (Martial Development School), and Yon Mu Kwan (Yon Martial School). In 1955, all of the kwans except for Moo Duk Kwan ceased to exist as they adopted the new term Tae Kwon Do to describe the new Korean martial art. Master Hwang Kee made it clear that his objective was to strengthen Tang Soo Do’s links to Taekyon and Subak by means of the Muyadebo-tongji (the classical martial arts text written in the late 18th century). He felt that the way to make martial arts a source of national pride again was to study and incorporate as much of the traditional martial arts skills as possible rather than just change the name and arbitrarily change the techniques and curriculum to make it distinct from Karate.
