He named the Korean Soo Bahk Do Association, Inc., In June of 1960. It is only logical that we standardized its name with the other Soo Bahk Do organizations at this time as evidence of our support of a harmonious and unified worldwide effort by all MOO DUK KWAN practitioners.
The increased use of the Soo Bahk Do name reflects the unique emphasis and contributions of Korean Soo Bahk Ki and Kwan Jang Nim Hwang Kee, as representative in the standardized IL Soo Sik Dae Ryun, Ho Sin Sool, Da Soo In Dae Ryun, The Yuk Ro and Chil Sung Hyungs and Hwa Sun Hyung. This art and its names are truly unique and we as members, practitioners and instructors will have the opportunity to create its future history.
Regardless of the name we use to identify ourselves in the world, it will remain the same organization you have belonged to for many years. The name has been changed only for the purpose of international standardization and to promote better recognition of the evolution of our “LIVING ART”.-Lawrence Seiberlich Chil Dan, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.
