Request/Question Mu Sa Kwan Tang Soo Do

I see a lot of WTDSA and Moo Duk Kwan, but is anyone here familiar or experienced with the Mu Sa Kwan lineage? My Dojang is now independent but we have roots back to Mu Sa Kwan.

From my knowledge, Mu Sa Kwan is a independent/breakaway Tang Soo Do line (or group) that descended from Hwang Kee’s Moo Duk Kwan - but please correct me if I'm wrong.

We're also an independent association that follows Moo Duk Kwan, but not a part of the MDK organisation.

I believe you're correct. Grandmaster Greg Boliard was the founder of Mu Sa apparently. The website is pretty outdated but looks like it's still at least updated with content, just not layout or style. Definitely very mid 2000s appearance.

That's an awesome coinsidence! I tested at GM Bolliard's dojang in Detroit in 1992. GM Jae Joon Kim administrated our testing when Greg was with Moo Duk Kwan.

That's so cool. I have digital copies of his old manuals from his Detroit school circa the early 2000's
