You are correct. I learned it as part of my tang soo do training under James K. Roberts, Sr. (Dan #6421) under Hwang Kee. However, when Mr. Roberts established his school in Northern Virginia in the 1960s, he placed himself under Hwang Kee's rep in the area, Ki Whang Kim. I think he may have made chinte one of our three brown to black forms (bassai and naihanchi cho dan being the other two) based on the Kim connection.
lohai (rohai), shipsu (gojushiho), etc. all are of Japanese/Okinawan origin but have the distinctive tang soo do style when performed the Korean way. Anyway, hope that clarifies my reference to it as a traditional tang soo do form. I guess I should have said I performed chinte in the traditional tang soo do style. Thanks for the comment. :)
Sir: I do not rmrmber Chinte as being a Tang Soo Do form. Is it normally called something else (Korean name), or did you add this to your curricullum?
In addition to my comments above regarding the origin of the form at my school, you will also find a version of chinte in Korean styles called jin soo. Soo is Korean for hand, same as te in Japanese...essentially the same form.

As are so many of the TSD forms, you can see the Japanese roots with the TSD style overlaid on it. Bassai, kusanku (kong san goon),

@billodom2
Master Odom, Ship Soo is Jitte in the Japanese system.
I trained under Ki Whang Kim too. You cant find training like that no more.
Nice videos. I heard you were a top forms competitor back in the day.

@Kinghercules oooh...you're right. I meant oshipsabo (gojushiho) and shipsu (jitte). Thanks for the catch!
