Tae Soo Do was a name under which the major Martial Arts Kwans (or schools) of post-Korean war South Korea unified in 1962, after briefly dropping the name Taekwondo, and prior to the switch back to that name in 1965 at the behest of General Choi Hong Hi.

Tae Soo Do is also a style created by Dr. Joo Bang Lee, as part of his Hwa Rang Do system. It is unrelated to the "original" Tae Soo Do, created by the unified Kwans.
