May I ask who Kevin Kim's instructors are/were?
I have no idea. I am not familiar with even who he might be. Perhaps someone else may be able to help you.

Here is what I was told by my master about OhDoKwan:
TaeKwonDo was formed in 1972, when the major kwans (schools) of Korean martial arts unified. .
I thought that I would ask this is the general section: were any of the kwans that were unified into the Kukkiwon not taekwondo? In other words, were any of them going by KSD, HKD, TSD, etc.
Thank you,
Daniel
Any kwan existing before 1955 was not doing TKD before that time. TKD did not exist. When the KKW unified Kwans it was accepting many different systems for rank. Now, if one day I am doing Krav Maga and the next day I do nothing but change the name to TKD does that my school is now a TKD school?
A rose by any other name...
But the KKW didn't exist until well after the unification. The unification created the Korea Taesoodo Association, which became the Korean Taekwondo Association, which spawned the Kukkiwon.
Hanmukwan - 1954
Founded by Lee Kyo Yun, was an offshoot of Jidokwan
Seems that there is a lack of reliable info when it comes this subject.
