Book excerpt: The eagerly anticipated updated return of a bestselling martial arts classic The leaders of Tae Kwon Do, an Olympic sport and one of the worldÍs most popular martial arts, are fond of saying that their art is ancient and filled with old dynasties and superhuman feats. In fact, Tae Kwon Do is as full of lies as it is powerful techniques. Since its rough beginnings in the Korean military 60 years ago, the art empowered individuals and nations, but its leaders too often hid the painful truths that led to that empowerment „ the gangsters, secret-service agents, and dictators who encouraged cheating, corruption, and murder. A Killing Art: The Untold History of Tae Kwon Do takes you into the cults, geisha houses, and crime syndicates that made Tae Kwon Do. It shows how, in the end, a few key leaders kept the art clean and turned it into an empowering art for tens of millions of people in more than 150 countries. A Killing Art is part history and part biography „ and a wild ride to enlightenment. This new and revised edition of the bestselling book contains previously unnamed sources and updated chapters.

Download or read book Taekwondo written by Udo Moenig and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-10 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of the historical, political, and technical evolution of taekwondo. Many of the supposedly ‘traditional’ and ‘ancient’ Korean cultural elements attached to taekwondo are, in fact, remnants of East Asia’s modernization drive, and largely inherited from the Japanese martial arts. The current historical portrayal has created an obstacle to a clear understanding of the history of taekwondo, and presents problems and contradictions in philosophy and training methodology. Using rich empirical data, including interviews with leading figures in the field, this book brings together martial arts philosophy with an analysis of the technical aspects and the development of taekwondo, and provides a detailed comparison of karate and taekwondo techniques. It debunks nationalistic mythology surrounding taekwondo to provide a reinterpretation of taekwondo’s evolution.

Book Synopsis Volume 16 (Encyclopedia of Taekwon-Do) by : Nick Campbell
Download or read book Volume 16 (Encyclopedia of Taekwon-Do) written by Nick Campbell and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-07-23 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adding to General Choi Hong Hi's masterpiece, the Encyclopedia of Taekwon-Do, this supplemental volume seamlessly integrates into his 15 Volume set. Volume 16 adds more than 620 photos to the approximately 30,000 of General Choi's Encyclopedia plus an additional 403 pages, 494 diagrams and 55,800+ words - all extensively researched, documented and primarily based on General Choi's other books. "I appreciate Mr. Campbell's efforts and I am certain that this Volume 16 will be a great addition to everyone's library." - Dr. George Vitale, Ph.D. (VIII Degree), the first (and to date only) American to earn an academic Ph.D. (in Taekwon-Do) from a North Korean university. Ko-Dang and U-Nam, two patterns connected by fate and politics, are invaluable parts of Taekwon-Do's history. While neither pattern was discarded entirely, both are complete patterns once considered part of the syllabus. Over time, the namesakes of Ko-Dang and U-Nam failed to continue to inspire a positive patriotic image for all Koreans as each presents acute political discomfort for one side of the Korean Peninsula; Ko-Dang for the North and U-Nam for the South. However, as Taekwon-Do's patterns are the core of the art, both patterns deserve inclusion in General Choi's Encyclopedia of Taekwon-Do in order to document the whole of the art equally. In addition to Ko-Dang and U-Nam, Volume 16 also includes a new set of text descriptions for all of Taekwon-Do's patterns. The Condensed Patterns humbly continue the tradition in General Choi's books of improving the detail and clarity of the pattern descriptions while leaving the patterns themselves unchanged. From 1959's "Same as movement #6 from Pyung Ahn 4 [Sa Dan]," 1965's "L.B. stance" through to the Encyclopedia's presentation many improvements have been made over time. The Condensed Patterns continue this evolution by presenting all of the available text-based and footwork information offered in the Encyclopedia, the Condensed Patterns describe each pattern count in a brief and easy to consume format.
