Tang Soo Do is a karate-based Korean martial art incorporating fighting principles from subak (as described in the Kwon Bup Chong Do), as well as northern Chinese martial arts. The techniques of what is commonly known as Tang Soo Do combine elements of shotokan karate, subak, taekkyon, and kung fu. It includes stances, patterns of moves (hyungs/forms), self-defence, hand and foot techniques, sparring and free fighting. Tang Soo Do follows the traditional path of self-control by teaching self-discipline and social responsibility to its members.
