+ | '''HWANG, Kee''' (Hangul: 황기; Hwang Gi; November 9, 1914 – July 14, 2002) was one of the most important figures in the development of Korean martial arts. As the founder of [[Moo Duk Kwan]], his teaching went on to establish the foundations of some aspects of [[Traditional Taekwondo]] styles such as [[Moo Duk Kwan Taekwondo]] and [[Tang Soo Do]] (and the variation [[Soo Bahk Do]]). |
While many of the founders of the [[Nine Kwans]] were primarily influenced by [[Shotokan Karate | Karate]], Hwang is credited with imbuing his school of martial arts with more Chinese influences such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_martial_arts Kung Fu] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%27ai_chi_ch%27uan T'ai Chi] as well as ancient Korean influences such as [[Taekkyon]] and traditional Korean forms derived from the [[Muye Dobo Tongji]], an ancient Korean text on combat techniques. |
