Kwan (martial arts)

Kwan (Hanja: 館; Hangul: 관) in Korean literally means building or hall, but when used in martial arts it can also refer to a school or clan of martial artists who follow the same style and/or leader. This article is about the different taekwondo kwans.

The five original Taekwondo kwans

Chung Do Kwan(청도관) - first Taekwondo dojang in korea founded in 1944 by Lee Won Kuk(이원국). He had studied Taekkyeon in Seoul, He also studied Shotokan Karate in Japan, Kung Fu in Henan and Shanghai in China, and other.

Song Moo Kwan(송무관) - founded in Kaesong in 1946 by Ro Byung Jick(노병직), who had studied karate under Gichin Funakoshi along with Chung Do Kwan founder Lee Won Kuk in Japan.

Moo Duk Kwan(무덕관) - founded 1945 by Hwang Kee(황기) teaching Hwa Soo Do. Hwang studied Taekkyon, T'ai chi and some types of Kung Fu in China. His first two attempts at running a school of Hwa Soo Do were unsuccessful. After 1946, realizing that most Koreans were unfamiliar with the Chinese based arts he was teaching, he incorporated the more familiar, Japanese influenced, Tang Soo Do into his curriculum. By 1953 and onward until 1960, the Moo Duk Kwan had risen to become biggest martial arts organization in Korea, with close to 75% of all martial artists in Korea practicing Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan. In 1957, Hwang made a discovery of Soo Bahk(수박), a traditional Korean martial art from Muyedobotongji(무예도보통지). In 1960, the Korean Soo Bahk Do Association was incorporated and officially registered with the Korean government as the traditional Korean martial art. The following year, the Moo Duk Kwan Soo Bahk Do discipline was recognized internationally for the first time.

Shine

by: Kwan

I can feel what you have inside
But you lie to yourself
Look in to my eyes
'cause you have it all
You know it too
So why don't you do something about baby don't deny
Would you even try
Break the wall to face it all
What can I do for you to believe me?
...for you to believe me?
I can see the shine
I can see the shine in you
I can see it in your eyes
So why don't you do something
I can see the shine
I can see the shine in you
I can see it in your eyes
So why don't you do something.
You won't lose it baby don't be afraid
There will be a day when it's too late
You say that you don't believe in love
Love is already in you
Don't wait too long there will be no sign
'cause deep inside of your mind you want to
Am I wrong, I don't think
So tell me what can I do for you to believe me
What does your heart say
What do you fear
Why do you always push it away?
Why these unnecessary tears?
I can see the shine but you're only wasting time
Putting yourself always in question
Denying leberation of your mind
You kinda know you have talent
You kinda know how to exploit it
But you do nothing
Do yourself a favor don't avoid it
Do something do something
About it do something
