Yes. Mu Duk Kwan is 1 of several kwans or schools that were formed by Koreans returning from Japan where they had gon as forced laborers. Most of the Kwans started calling their art Tae Kwon Do, probably to remove the foreign reference. Tang Soo Do means the way of the hands of Tang- a Chinese dynasty. (the original was Tang Shao Tao in Chinese). The arts are very similar, in fact there are more differences among TKD kwans (& even within kwans) than there are between TKD & TSD.

Yes, I have. It seems like a very cool art. If there were any Dojang here, I'd train it together with Taekwon-do. But alas, there aren't.
