Outstanding demonstration and explanation of this highly popular style of karate which,moreso than most places great emphasis on foot technique.The text is easy to understand and its' thoroughness of detail and display of skill in technique make it second only to Jordan Roth's masterwork Black Belt Karate.It must be said that this book would probably not serve a novice student too well as there are some moves which could prove difficult to master,like the front and side-limbering kicks and the flying roundhouse kick.This book should perhaps be best viewed as a companion piece to Roth's as there are several techniques not covered in that book,such as the hook kick and the rising heel kick.Great emphasis is placed on sparring so I would say that it is absolutely essential to work with a partner when referring to this book.As one who enjoys the kicking techniques of karate this book definitely comes highly recommended.Class cover shot of a perfectly executed side thrust kick enhances this book's already considerable appeal and usefulness.

This is the best book on Traditional TKD, or Katate I have ever seen. Keep in mind, this is not Olympic style TKD of the 21st century, this is good old solid Ji Do Kwan, Tae Kwon Do. Master Cho covers things in this book that show TKD to be the "art" it is. Anyone can do the things in this book. It just takes time, and practice.
This book also shows that TKD does indeed have good, solid hand techniques, and defenses.
This book is NOT magic, and do not exspect any "tricks" to make you a master overnight. Master Cho has given a lot of information, and it works. All you need to do is practice!
Get the book!

this book is the ultamate book on free fighting and actual combat situation, it covers all grounds on the primary techniques needed to do either and it is very well compiled and written and done in an easy to understand way , you cant get better information on this subject anywhere

Great book without all the crap that is in TKD today. Good book if you really want to learn the martial art as it is intended for the most part. One of the few TKD books I have found to be worth purchasing.

Aunque no sepas mucho el ingles podras entender el libro, ya que tiene suficientes fotos bien esplicadas de cada tecnica. El maestro y autor del libro es muy bueno, yo pertenesco a su federacion de TAE KWON DO.
