Learn about martial arts lineage, history, and followed systems:
Many martial artists became legendary through history. Some were samurai and/or founders of different styles and systems, some of which are still practiced today. History tells us that unarmed martial arts began in China many centuries ago. How far back is still unknown. We are lead to believe the arts began by monks in a Shaolin monastery. The origins are obscure and shrouded in myth and secrecy. Unfortunately, there is no updated documentation or evidence to prove so. Many of the people involved in the early martial arts were mostly illiterate, and if there were any historical documentation, the Chinese Red Brigades would punish, kill or have people commit suicide for having such documents in their possession. As a result, important historical documents were destroyed. If there were any written histories or memoirs, over time they became lost, destroyed or thrown out. That leaves only one other historical source, passing down martial arts history orally.
As we all know, hearsay, especially when passed down through the generations, the "truth" changes. For this reason, unless there is actual documentation or proof, 'word of mouth' is only a tale until proven otherwise. Therefore, our research on this system's lineage can only be traced back into the 1600's.
Okinawa, also known as the Ryukyu Islands, were also occupied by other countries, including Japan and martial arts training was banned between certain years starting at 1477. And again, documentation was not kept.
Grandmaster Perceval, head of our system: Tae Kwon Do Moo Duk Kwan USA, has studied and trained in Japanese, Okinawan and Korean martial arts. Therefore, our lineage includes martial arts from all four countries. Lineage of our system like most martial arts, begins in China.

American ake Kwon Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation
Established in 1992 by Charles Graham
The modern history of American Tae Kwon Do Moo Duk Kwan can be traced back to 1961. This is the year that Tae Kwon Do and Moo Duk Kwan formed one organization. As far as we are concerned, Master Chun Chae Kyu (instructor of Eugene Perceval Jr.), was the head of that organization. After returning home from Korea in 1964, Grandmaster Eugene Perceval Jr. (Click for bio), founded Tae Kwon Do Moo Duk Kwan U.S.A. Students of GM Perceval included now GM Forrest Blair and GM Charles Graham (click for bio).
In 1974, ties were broken with GMs Eugene Perceval Jr. and Forrest Blair. This led to GM Graham's (then 3rd Dan) founding of American Tae Kwon Do Moo Duk Kwan in 1977. Grandmaster Graham vision was to bring about a renewal of the old philosophy with attitudes for the future. The newly formed organization began to set its course for its ensuing success and growth. It's also during this time that its most influential black belt instructors and masters began their training.
At that time, classes were held in the basement of "Chuck's" home on Phillips Avenue in Browns Mills. Those were the good ole' "basement days" that he fondly refers too. The basement days saw the foundation being established for what is now known as the American Moo Duk Kwan Federation. It was also a time in which our organization and system were in their initial stages of growth. The most influential instructors were being raised and mentored as leaders of this new organization. It wasn't uncommon to have multiple black belts instructors and masters such as Johnnie Q. Wade, Roy Wade, Jeffrey Whitehead, Ray Thomann, Herman Davis, Stanley Heath, Roy Donald, and many others be in attendance during class. It was a great time to train, as much wisdom and knowledge was shared by the pioneers of the system.
American Tae Kwon Do Moo Duk Kwan, under Grandmaster Graham, was unlike the traditional Korean schools and organizations that became popular in the 1970's and early 1980's. Although it maintained many of those early traditions, the organization's approach instilled American values while striving to develop a true warriors mentality. The strength, focus and direction of this organization was found in the diversity of its black belt membership. This made it very unique, genuine and tenable.
As a style, its influence is found in various Asian martial arts styles, American boxing, military technique, and grappling. The organization also adopted military discipline, a ranking system, and the use of traditional forms, modeled from Japanese Shotokan kata modified by the early Korean martial arts founders.
Under his guidance, the American Moo Duk Kwan Federation was established in 1992. This organization was formulated to provide a strong, unified and credible body of martial artists. The American Tae Kwon Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation is credited with producing many high caliber black belt instructors and masters who continue to uphold and promote its legacy, history and traditions.
