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 Suh Do Kwan written by Don Baird and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his voice ringing out I hear Grandmaster Suh saying, ""This guy, are you training hard?"" And without regard to my answer, he would always respond, ""Train harder."" This was the way it was: this was signature Mr. Suh. He was a Master of few words. I remember asking him, ""Why do we punch with a bent elbow?"" His response was a swift punch to my chest that left me on the floor about 8 feet away from him. His martial art lessons were different, though. He became open and would spend a great deal of time teaching life philosophy. He savored handing down these philosophies to his students and it showed in every class. This book, by letting him tell his story through his own words is not a book by me but a gift from him. He was brilliant. I believe this book, Suh Do Kwan, the Way of Suh, will reveal that on its own without further commentary.
