BOOK: Advanced Taekwondo

Price: $24.95

Taekwondo is defined as a hard-style system of the martial arts-with penetrating kicks and punches, and forceful linear attacks. Dedicated practitioners know that advanced training means not only striving to master techniques, but also developing a deeper understanding of the history, philosophy, and concepts at the core of this martial art.

In Advanced Taekwondo, Scott Shaw presents an in-depth look at the complete art of Taekwondo-from the underlying philosophies that drive the techniques and strategies to advice on mastering basic and advanced techniques fundamental to the art. Chapters include:

• An in-depth look at the origins and philosophies of Taekwondo
• Discussion and tips on mastering essential techniques
• Illustrated poomse sequences, including the Taeguek forms and Black Belt forms
• Effective strategies and skills for self-defense
• Weapons techniques including instruction in Kumdo, the Korean Art of the Sword

With over 400 illustrations and detailed instruction from a leading teacher in the field, even the most experienced black belts can benefit from the lessons in this book.
