There's no single definitive history to the TKA. There are snippets of history from the EU, some of them a bit contradictory, and then there's all that nutty fan fiction that people think is gospel. But it's vague enough for the developers to do just about anything they want with it without breaking continuity.
This is probably the best background for TKA (from the Wizards of the Coast Star Wars RPG) :
"The martial arts form known as Teräs Käsi is an extremely rare ancient art. The form's origins are found on the world of Bunduki in the Pacanth Reach, populated by a near-Human species known as the Epicanthix. The Followers of Palawa are a secretive sect of hermits that guard the teachings of Teräs Käsi. It is unknown whether or not the Followers created the martial arts style, but nearly all Teräs Käsi masters learned the style by journeying to Bunduki to learn from these keepers. The name Teräs Käsi actually means "steel hands," referring to the toughness of the martial artist's unarmed attacks. The style focuses on power and strength, including varying levels of damage depending on the force that is applied to the attacks. The style is unique, and masters are few and far between."
