Tangsoology*


The art of Tangsoology was founded by Grandmaster Jong Hyan Lee at San Diego, California in 1976. Tansoology is an offshoot of Tang Soo Do. Grandmaster Lee incorporated Tang Soo Do with new techniques that he personally developed. The following pictures show Master David P. Walker & Master Daniel Nolan training in Tangsoology (circa 1976). The Institutute of Tangsoology is alive & well under the guidance of Grandmaster Lee's black belts.
