Black Belt
The following is a link to a scan of the original magazine article on the 1967 Koryo. This version of Koryo was created in 1967 and introduced to high-ranked black belts from various schools in S. Korea at clinics starting in December 1967. The author of this article, GM Kim Soo, attended these clinics and immigrated to the US (Houston, Tx.) in January 1968. He was the first to teach these new forms (Koryo, Tae Baek, Jee Tae, etc.) in America and many instructors sent their black belts to learn from him.
Shortly following this publication, the KTA (WTF) created a replacement version of this form.
