This review is from: The History of Taekwon-Do Patterns: The Chang-Hon Pattern Set Chon-Ji through Choong-Moo (Paperback)

This book is an excellent source of reference material for the Taekwondo stylist who follows the Chon-Ji patterns and wants to learn more about the characters, history & events that the patterns are named after. It goes into great depth & includes an interesting selection of photographs & diagrams that helps to bring the pattern meanings to life. This book is a must have copy that should be in the bookcase of every serious student of the ITF patterns.

Very well written and interesting book. Contains lots of information that even TKD instructors should know. The written subject matter precisely matches the title - very fine job. Well worth the money. Now Mr. Mitchell - we need history on remaining 15 patterns!

This review is from: The History of Taekwon-Do Patterns: The Chang-Hon Pattern Set Chon-Ji through Choong-Moo (Paperback)

I wanted a bit more explaination of the movements in each pattern and the purpose for them. This book discusses the history of each man for whom a pattern is named after which is great for someone working toward becoming a black belt or an instructor, but it doesn't do much for someone who wants to learn the patterns movements.
