Description

ForeWord’s Book of the Year Award FINALIST – 2006

Taekwondo, literally translated, will also be defined as “foot, hand way” or “the way of smashing with hands and feet.” Such descriptive nomenclature understandably implies a curriculum rich in self-defense. Too incessantly, then again, this is simply not the case. Given the current popularity of sport competition in the martial arts, many techniques of defensive value have been stripped away or forfeited altogether in favor of those certain to score in the ring. At the same time as the thirst for Olympic gold has clearly played a significant role in propelling taekwondo into the leading edge, it will have to be remembered that this native Korean martial art comprises over 3200 distinct self defense techniques.

This book describes in detail, the history and evolution of Taekwondo from its ancient roots to brand new day applications. Also included are exercises in “Ki” or internal energy development, meditation practice, and practical self-defense strategies. This work makes a speciality of the traditional aspects of Taekwondo relatively than on its sportive component.
