Over the past 10 years, the Korean art of tae kwon do has quietly become the most widely practiced of all martial arts in America. Its flashy, high-kicking techniques dominate fight choreography on the big screen; and TKD tournaments across the country attract record numbers of competitors and fans alike. Now with the help of 1992 Olympic Gold Medalist and tae kwon do instructor Herb Perez, the techniques and philosophy of this exciting martial art are available to all midgrade fans and students.

A Well Written Guide to Taekwondo for Kids and Parents,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Tae Kwon Do for Kids (Paperback)
As a parent of of a budding martial artist I found this book to be very complete and demystifying. Taekwondo is a complicated and demanding sport and Mr. Perez goes through the basics thoroughly but without resorting to karate jargon. I bought the book for my son for Christmas. In addition to being a world class athelete Mr. Perez is an accomplished writer. I can highly recommend this book.

A Great TKD Book for Kids,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Tae Kwon Do for Kids (Paperback)
I'm 10 years old and a brown belt. I really liked reading this book. I met Mr. Perez at the National Championships last summer. He's a really good teacher in person and he's a reaaly good author too. He doesn't teach you the "super secret flying whirly kick" but how to win with the basics instead. My dad likes it too.
