This made me wonder what else was changing. Were the original Oh Do Kwan tenets slightly changed? and if so, was it around this time? Were there other changes happening as well?
I have heard "Oh Do Kwan" to seemingly refer to that group in different incarnations (and I am not an Oh Do Kwan Scholar) so I will only refer to "Tenets" as they appear in General Choi's texts. (Not knowing how the Oh Do Kwan may or may not have adopted tenets over time. )
In the 1965 edition they are listed as:
Modesty, Perseverance, Self control and Indomitable spirit.
In the 1972 and all later texts they are : Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control and indomitable Spirit.
I do not know why he revised them.
Not a lot "Changed' from the 1972 text to later texts although there were refinements such as adding the term "Connecting Motion" and using the term / metaphor "Sine Wave" to describe the knee flexion / spring described in the 1972 text.
