Traditional Taekwondo: Core Techniques, History and Philosophy Overviews

b AWARD FINALIST /bPThe principles and techniques illustrated in this book, having been handed down over the decades, if not centuries, emphasize a core philosophy rich in defensive strategy. PTaekwondo, literally translated, can be defined as “foot, hand way” or “the way of smashing with hands and feet.” Such descriptive nomenclature understandably implies a curriculum rich in self-defense. Too often, however, this is simply not the case. Given the current popularity of sport competition in the martial arts, many techniques of defensive value have been stripped away or forfeited altogether in favor of those certain to score in the ring. While the thirst for Olympic gold has clearly played a significant role in propelling taekwondo into the forefront, it should be remembered that this native Korean martial art contains over 3200 distinct self defense techniques. PThis book describes in detail, the history and evolution of Taekwondo from its ancient roots to modern day applications. Also included are exercises in “Ki” or internal energy development, meditation practice, and practical self-defense strategies. This work focuses on the traditional aspects of Taekwondo rather than on its sportive component.

Traditional Taekwondo: Core Techniques, History and Philosophy CustomerReview

"Traditional Taekwondo: Core Techniques, History and Philosophy by Doug Cook is a book that all practitioners of Taekwondo at your library wants. It 's also a book that will appeal to other Korean martial arts and even those who do not practice the Korean art, they want understand, but more "foot hand way" from the land of morning calm calm.br / br / The book is divided into three parts, the first history and culture, is the philosophy, and the final section deals withTechnology. The first two sections were excellent and all those who have found the practice of art Taekwondo better understanding of the history, culture and philosophy in art. These are the sections that turn to other artists and other Korean martial arts. The third part, technology is an order to show some techniques in the curriculum of Taekwondo, but was not as strong or as interesting as the first two parts.br / br / It 's extremely difficult to cook aThe history of the country, especially in a country like Korea, which has a long and interesting history, some chapters short. I think Cook did a great job of narrowing of the story on some of the most important references and historical interest, starting gun with the legend of Tan. He briefly discussed the three kingdoms, and some of the key players in the history of Korea. It has a little 'about the Japanese occupation of 1910-1945, which is important in the development Taekwodo. The nextChapter on the formative years of Taekwondo is to be very interesting and useful is for those who want to learn more about art history. br / br / The part of philosophy had chapters on the role of meditation in the traditional Taekwondo, development and use of anti-ki, and the relevance of the poom-se in the traditional Taekwondo. These chapters in turn were interesting and instructive. I think they offer the reader a more accurate idea of Taekwondo as only the most popular sportsparring.br / br / The third and longest section focuses on technology. And 'the longest, because first selected images that illustrate techniques for text. The chapters cover air conditioning exercises first, and then a chapter describing training methods. While I agree with most of what was written, there are some things that I would write differently, especially the Sool descriptions of Ho Shin, or self-defense techniques. It 'true that the techniques I Shin SoolThey provide solutions for grabs as written, but the techniques of Shin Sool I also immune from strikes, kicks, and starting movements. br / br / I liked the guidelines for training, in particular the emphasis on respect and safety. Then the techniques shown in the images with reality, there are 18 on the Sik (One-Step Sparring) aggregations, 8 Sam Su Sik (sparring three phase) combinations, 18 I Shin Sool (self defense techniques), and 16 defenses for women. You can look at this someStatement. First, especially in this section as a small selection of techniques look, see the Taekwondo curriculum. This is what it is. And as a small selection, Cook has a good job of it. But learning the techniques of the book would be extremely difficult, like learning a martial art from a book is not recommended, you need a live instructor and a partner with the train. I have a fundamental disagreement with the way some of the techniques of Shin Sool I have shownas posture, exercise and weight placement are not stated and I also difficulties with some of the techniques completely. (That block of a pipe with the forearm) is not however the aim of this review practical techniques in question, and so on. So just said.br / br / There is a brief conclusion, and then sections of the plant. Annex A was very interesting. He said the experience of training with Grand Master Lee Hyun Gyoo in Korea. Ifound interesting and I was also homesick forward and trains in Korea. I must be really want for my next trip there. There were also some Korean / English words and some martial arts organizations listed. Nice additions to the book, particularly the experience of training with Grand Master Lee. br / br / For the history and philosophy sections, I rate this book a 5, and section techniques at 3 Therefore, the book is a total of four and a book I recommend to all TaekwondoDesigners to read and learn. I recommend it to all the others who rated a better understanding of the history, philosophy, wants, and techniques of traditional taekwondo.br / br / edited by Alain Burresi, JD, author of Hard-Won Wisdom from the School of Hard Knocks and DVD: Hapkido Hoshinsul, Street Fighting Essentials, Hapkido Cane, the block joint locks Essentials series and articles including a regular column on negotiation for the 'Lawyer Montana.
