This is more than a belt, it’s a story. This is the actual Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan black belt and World Dang Soo Do Union patch of Grandmaster Mariano Estioka, preserved in a museum-style exhibit as part of our mission to document martial arts history worldwide.
It is displayed as part of the United States Taekwondo Museum® and the Official Taekwondo Hall of Fame® for historical documentation and preservation purposes. Many thanks to his student GM Thien Vo the custodian of the belt and patch for providing the photographic image utilized to produce this virtual museum artifact.
