tang soo do has stayed closer to it's japanese origin, and includes some chinese influenced stuff.
some people say it is the closest to the original shotokan

I wouldn't say ot os the father of TKD....an uncle perhaps.So TSD is the father of TKD and is less-interested in the competitive aspect. When all the kwans got unifited in the 50's-60's to create TKD TSD did not follow the trend and reminded as TSD.

Yes and no. As I understand it...the TKD Kwan founders, fo rth emost part, got a lot of their training in various Japanese/okinawan arts (shotokan being the biggest contributor). I belive that the founder of TSD also claims some chinese influence from time spent in Mongolia. I'll let the TSD historians sepak to that though.
The kwan founders returned to korea and oepened their schools. ultimately there was apush to unify the kwans. Many did, the TSD section ultimately did not....so, whle related, TKD did not descend directly from TSD. Rather they split off from the same related art(s). That's why I say more like an uncle than a father.
Peace,

No. TKD evolved alongside, but seperate from TSD.So TKD evolved form TSD?
