This training guide is intended for all students of taekwondo. It is the only up-to-date and official training manual of the Taekwondo Association of Great Britain and it covers the four novice grades which are incorporated into the White and Yellow Belts. The beginner is taken through a series of warm-up exercises; courtesy rituals are then explained and the basic punches, kicks, strikes and blocks of taekwondo are described. Common faults are identified and the appropriate remedies are suggested. The book then goes on to deal with prearranged sparring and patterns, breaking each down into easy-to-follow constituent parts. This manual has been written by senior instructors of the Taekwondo Association of Great Britain."

Solid Help for Learning Techniques,
By
This review is from: Tae Kwon-Do: White Belt to Yellow Belt : The Official Tae Kwon-Do Association of Great Britain Training Manual (Paperback)
I used this book to help me learn the forms given, and found it very useful. I have since lent it to other students, who were similarly helped. The pictures demonstrate the techniques very clearly. The one lack is that the patterns are somewhat difficult to follow as far as direction - this requires careful reading of the text, but diagrams would have helped.
4.0 out of 5 stars
A solid understanding of basic TKD,
By
This review is from: Tae Kwon-Do: White Belt to Yellow Belt : The Official Tae Kwon-Do Association of Great Britain Training Manual (Paperback)
I bought this book when I was a whitebelt. There is great explanation on the different aspects to what is required for white and yellow belts in any traditional TKD program. I will admit that the forms are lacking with visual representation but the text is fairly clear. If you are looking for a forms book then look elsewhere (the Jhoo Rhee books for example) but if you are looking for an overview of beginning TKD then you can find nothing better.
