WTSDA Region 2
Welcome to the Official Region 2 Homepage!
Cho Dae Kwan Chang Nim Shin, Grand Master Jae Chul Shin, brought Tang Soo Do to the United States in 1968, establishing the U.S. Tang Soo Do Federation, which evolved into today’s World Tang Soo Do Association (WTSDA) in response to its remarkable international expansion. Since then, the WTSDA has thrived, growing to more than 100,000 members across 36 countries and 21 regions worldwide. Region 2 is both honored and proud to be part of this distinguished organization, united by our shared dedication to preserving and advancing the legacy of Tang Soo Do.
