In 1945 Hwang Kee founded his 1st Moo Duk Kwan® school in Yang San Ku Korea. He quickly became known as a martial arts prodigy and his organization became the most prominent in Korea.



In the early 60's American servicemen were returning to the USA after the Korean war and they brought the training they received in his Moo Duk Kwan® schools back to the USA.



In 1975 Hwang Kee organized the United States Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation as the only source in the USA for legitimate certifications from the Moo Duk Kwan®.



In 1996 the organization changed its name to the United States Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation® to better emphasize its mission of preserving Hwang Kee's Korean Soo Bahk Do® martial art system.



By 2015 more than 250,000 registered members had passed through Moo Duk Kwan® certified schools in the USA and over 50,000 have earned the rank of Dan (midnight blue belt ~ black belt) and been issued a legitimate Moo Duk Kwan® Dan Bon identification number.



In 2015 the United States Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation® won a permanent injunction and sizeable damages award in a federal court lawsuit with the court ruling against trademark infringers who were seeking to use the 70+ year reputation and the globally well known Moo Duk Kwan® name for their own gain.



The federal court victory by the United States Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation® once again confirmed that there is only one Moo Duk Kwan.
