Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tang Soo Do The Way Of The Warrior In this book Grand Master Dominick Giacobbe gives the reader a complete understanding of the 2,000 year old Korean Martial Art of Tang Soo Do. This book is filled with philosophy, technology, terminology and the theory of the art. The way of the Warrior is a very important concept in the study of Tang Soo Do. To understand that almost 2,000 years ago on the southern beaches of Korea, a group of Hwa Rang Warriors planted the seed of Tang Soo Do. They incorporated the five point code of Honor which taught them to have an attitude to overcome all odds and obstacles. They developed the strength of mind to never give up or to never retreat in battle. They preached strength of mind and strength of spirit. For seven years these warriors trained intensely with extreme dedication and determination. They became strong from within. They believed in themselves and in their strengths. Our battles may not be the same as the Hwa Rang Warriors but we are confronted with battles each day of our lives. We must be strong, positive and never retreat in facing them. We are the modern day Warriors of Tang Soo Do. Face your troubles and learn to overcome them with strength and with a total positive mind. Tang Soo!

Download or read book Muye Dobo Tongji written by Chŏngjo ((Roi de Corée ;) and published by Turtle Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1789, King Chongjo, ruler of the Yi dynasty, ordered General Yi Duk-moo to compile an official textbook on all martial art forms then present in Korea to preserve them for future generations. The result, the Muye Dobo Tongji, is the only surviving classical text on the Korean arts of war. Based on the earliest known Korean martial arts treatise, the Muye Chebo written in 1599, the Muye Dobo Tongji clearly shows the influence of the neighbouring Japanese and Chinese armies. Through hundreds of wars and invasions, Korean soldiers adapted battlefield skills and tactics from their enemies, creating a unique system of their own. Organised into 24 distinct disciplines comprised of empty hand fighting, weaponry and horsemanship, this book is an accurate historical snapshot of the warrior arts of the hermit kingdom in the late 18th century. The release of 'The Comprehensive Illustrated Manual of Martial Arts of Ancient Korea' marks the first time this volume is available in English. Carefully translated from the original text and illustrated with reproductions of ancient woodblock carvings, this book provides fascinating insights into Korea's martial arts legacy.

Download or read book A Killing Art written by Gillis, Alex and published by ECW Press. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eagerly anticipated updated return of a bestselling martial arts classic The leaders of Tae Kwon Do, an Olympic sport and one of the worldÍs most popular martial arts, are fond of saying that their art is ancient and filled with old dynasties and superhuman feats. In fact, Tae Kwon Do is as full of lies as it is powerful techniques. Since its rough beginnings in the Korean military 60 years ago, the art empowered individuals and nations, but its leaders too often hid the painful truths that led to that empowerment „ the gangsters, secret-service agents, and dictators who encouraged cheating, corruption, and murder. A Killing Art: The Untold History of Tae Kwon Do takes you into the cults, geisha houses, and crime syndicates that made Tae Kwon Do. It shows how, in the end, a few key leaders kept the art clean and turned it into an empowering art for tens of millions of people in more than 150 countries. A Killing Art is part history and part biography „ and a wild ride to enlightenment. This new and revised edition of the bestselling book contains previously unnamed sources and updated chapters.
Download or read book Tang Soo Do a Korean Martial Art Question and Answer Book written by Len Losik and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is but one source of many, regarding the popular, but all too fictitious facts about Korean martial arts. As one of the most published authors on Korean martial arts, there is no shortage of experts in the martial arts community and no shortest of critics. One cannot be qualified as knowledgeable simply by the time spent in the physical training aspects of Tang Soo Do while allowed to ignore the academic aspects. This author's facts and suggestions are no more correct or valid than any other person's that publish what they have learned or been exposed too. Since almost all known sources of historical information about ancient and recent Korean martial arts and fighting arts was destroyed and then rewritten by the Japanese occupational forces during the 19th and 20th century occupation of Korea, there is no one person, regardless of their title or time in training who can have any more verifiable information than the rest of us. Again, due to the extermination and conversion of nearly all historical facts on Korean martial arts and Korean history, any Grandmaster, Master and Instructor can be an expert using the fictitious facts they get exposed to during their training and only then can just state their personnel opinions, and opinions are not facts. This book and all books simply provides the author's perspective, as only any book can, and particularly books on Korean martial arts. For those individuals who want people to read the books from whom they believe have the "correct facts", we know that as fascism. For those practitioners who need to believe that their Grandmaster, Master or Instructor is THE source of all correct information about Tang Soo Do and Korean Martial Arts, these same people need to believe that only they know who the true "experts" are and so can not value the contributions of others ideas and perspectives, we usually call this behavior when followers believe that there is only one, all knowing, all seeing person and they know who it is, as cult behavior , and cults are illegal in the United States but not Korea. It is our freedom of speech that motivates authors to write and publish books with new and different interpretations of age old facts and common knowledge, so let the community decide the worth of what is published. This small book, presents simple and complex answers and suggestions to just a few of the many questions that ought to get asked during Tang Soo Do training and these are solely the author's opinions and interpretations. Students and instructors in Tang Soo Do should ask these and many others and answer for themselves at sometime in their training. Most books on Tang Soo Do show the wonderful physical aspects and results from the training with little regard for an academic education in the style they train in. It is hoped by the author that the questions and answers in this book will spark more serious discussions and dialog not less as many suggest and to help to expose what historical references exist as the fiction they are, as all history books are fiction. History is all fiction and usually written by the victor. For those who find this book unacceptable, please use this book as the motivation to write and publish your own book and contribute to the community in a meaningful way. Those that complain the quickest and the most are the least likely to do the work others do and provide their own opinions for others to scrutinize. Its always easier to be critical of the work of others than expose what you know and what you don't. The knowledge of Tang Soo Do training is not in the hands of a few individuals, but spread throughout every school and is in the minds of every person working to get better and be a better person in Tang Soo Do. Use the knowledge that when criticism for others comes to you easier than praise, all your training didn't stick, but was left at the door jam when you left the dojang.
