I was kind of disappointed to see that Hwa Sun, So RIm Jang Kwan, and Tae Kyuk Kwon weren't included in any of the books/manuals/lists I have/have seen...If I want I'll learn them on my own at the appropriate level :) But I have a way to go from Sam Dan
 
Came across this when I was searching for something on Google.

Nice to see SOOOO many verities in the art.

I see some still have Jang Kwon, Tai Gi Hyul and Sa Bang Kwon!
Cool! :)
