Grand Master Song, Duk Soon, the founder of the official OHTC organization, was born in 1851. He was highly respected as a renowned doctor of Eastern Medicine, a philosopher of Sunglie-hak, a martial artist -- Grand Master of both Soo Bak Ki (now known as Tae Kwon Do, Hap Ki Do, and Moo Sa Sool) and Wu Shu (now known as Shaolin Chuan and Tai Chi Chuan) -- and as the official founder of OHTC.

As Grand Master Song, Si Yeol's version of Sunglie-hak is the philosophical foundation for the OHTC system, he is considered the philosophical father of OHTC. Grand Master Song, Duk Soon took Grand Master Song, Si Yeol's Sunglie-hak, combined it with the pure forms of Soo Bak Ki and Wu Shu in a systemized fashion, and thus created the official and complete OHTC system.

Late in Grand Master Song, Duk Soon's life, the Japanese invaded and occupied Korea. Despite his advancing age, he enters the struggle as a leader in the Korean resistance. The Japanese could not capture Song, Duk Soon, however, because of his incredible skills: more specifically, it was his mastery of Chook Ji Bub, "the flying art" -- which enabled a person run and jump using the same energy as walking -- that kept him safe.

During the Japanese occupation, one of Song's, Duk Soon closest resistance members turned him over to the Japanese, and he was executed. The man who turned him over became a high level Japanese official. However, the Koreans killed him when the Japanese occupation was overthrown. 

Grand Master Song, Duk Soon lived in both China and Korea; often times he traveled back and forth between both them.  It is Grandmaster Song, Duk Soon who, through his travels, is responsible for maintaining the pure forms of Tai Chi Chuan and Shaolin Chuan within the OHTC organization.

Grand Master Song, Duk Soon would teach his family traditions to his son and disciples privately, including the skill of Chook Ji Bub. Grandmaster Song, Duk Soon passed on his full knowledge and skill to the next Grand Master of OHTC, his son Song, Keum Sool.
