I have looked at your sources which are very interesting and also explored the net. There is obviously alot of confusion regarding the origins of TSD and what, who and how Hwang Kee learnt his martial arts.
The article below is quite interesting and suggests the Soo bahk do influences where indeed from an ancient Korean book, which was what I was told. Although the new forms are definately tia chi based.
However I find it hard to beleive all Hwangs influence was from China, as the style is so similar to Shotokan. Hwang Kee obviously has something to hide regarding his training sources, as he has contradicted himself a number of times. I am suprised however if it was all from books.
