The trademark counterfeiting business is booming! Check out the trademark counterfeits at the bottom of this page.

Phonies, frauds and thieves are thriving in an industry that is driven by greed, disregard for the rights and reputations of others and by consumers with low self esteem.

Huh?

Yes, you read correctly; consumers with low self esteem have been documented by researchers to be most susceptible to trafficking in the trademark counterfeiting trade.

The Moo Duk Kwan^® organization founded by Hwang Kee in Yang San Ku, South Korea in 1945 promotes the authentic instruction of the Soo Bahk Do^® martial art system through Instructors and Schools that it certifies and licenses to display these federally registered trademarks and service marks.

Beware of trademark infringers, imitators, phonies and frauds.
