Any UFC fighters with a Tang Soo Do background?

Pat Smith

Dunno but I definitely fucks with the Tang Soo Yook.

2.5 years later and still delicious as ever.

(Poon) Tang so do. I thought Koreans were all about Dongs, not so much Tangs.
 
I have a friend who trained in Tang Soo Do. We used to spar around a bit for fun, and he got me into using front kick jabs a lot.

He's the only person I ever met that trained in it.

Was he high level black belt?
 
No but Gary Goodridge repped Kook Sul Wan or some shit. I remember being in grade 6 watching Hererra get crucified and being like damn I gotta learn some of that Kook Sul Wan shit.
 
We have a winner! I knew one of the early UFC fighters studied Tang Soo Do. The perfect art for destroying giants and escaping JoeSonDo guillotine chokes with...well, tactics that are no longer legal in the UFC.
He got lucky with that choke escape. He was clearly going out when he used that ball punch escape.

nothing this devastating should be introduced to UFC. Not even the greatest striker to ever live, Ben "Lumpinee" Askren would stand a chance against a white belt in Loo Woo Do
 
No but I'm trying to learn more of the primordial combat styles used by early prehumans. It's said that these ancient rites of war were the reason humanity's evolution was kicked into overdrive. Once craven dwellers of the canopy, prehumans soon used primordial martial arts to dominate the plains and seize mastery of evolution itself.

Common man!

Tang Soo Do is a very good martial art!
 
Being the only guy in the world who knows what that is, what makes you think someone else will know that shit.

Edit- Did a quick search for you. no fighter came up but one Bruce Buffer is a black belt in it according to wiki.

Bruce is a black belt in everything
He bought them with screaming money
