history

唐手道 (Korean: 당수도, Tangsudo) literally means 'way of the Tang hand' — 'Tang' (唐) referring to the Chinese Tang dynasty as a stand-in for 'Chinese-origin'. It is an early-20th-century Korean martial art that fed into modern 跆拳道 (Taekwondo). Bruce Lee's friend Chuck Norris is a famous practitioner.
