Instigated in 2008 the 'British Tang Soo Do Hall of Fame' is the British Tang Soo Do Federation's unique
non-political, cross organisation, public recognition of those exceptional practitioners without whom the traditional
Korean Martial Art of Tang Soo Do would not enjoy the place within the British Martial Arts community that it does today.
British Tang Soo Do Hall of Fame is truly 'for the people, by the people' being made purely in recognition
of Tang Soo Do practitioners by Tang Soo Do practitioners.

British Tang Soo Do Federation 2010 Hall of Fame induction.
For the inspiration for our 2010 Hall of Fame induction we turn to one of the 'Eight Key Concepts' of Tang Soo Do; In Neh.
In Neh translates as 'endurance' and in this case reflects the level of tenacity required in order for a Senior practitioner to maintain a 'hard currency lineage' over a prolonged period.
This honourable ethos is reflected in an old Russia proverb that reads like this;
The man who has one eye on the past is blind in one eye.
The man who has both eyes on the future is blind in both eyes.
