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.

Download or read book Taekwondo written by B. T. Milnes and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-09-23 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 'lost' form is a form that was once practised often by the students of a martial art, but which in time has been forgotten, and information about it lost. Taekwondo is a relatively new martial art - being only sixty years old as of 2015. However, in that time, there are a few forms which have been forgotten. Unam is one such 'lost' form. Practised in the formative years of Taekwondo, the only evidence of it that remains today is in Choi Hong-hi's first edition Taekwondo textbook in Korean. (The form never made it into the English editions.) Now, more than fifty years after the form has been practised, B. T. Milnes has translated the section of Choi's 1959 textbook that describes the movements of the form. With this book, a supplementary text to Taekwondo Forms, find out what became of this ancient form, and why we no longer practise it. This book contains a line-by-line translation of the movements of the form, with detailed annotations as to what particular words and phrases mean, and how the terminology has changed in the decades since. The book also contains a discussion about the form, and a description of the movements using modern terminology, so that you can practise and perform the form yourself.

Download or read book Taekwondo written by Udo Moenig and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-10 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of the historical, political, and technical evolution of taekwondo. Many of the supposedly ‘traditional’ and ‘ancient’ Korean cultural elements attached to taekwondo are, in fact, remnants of East Asia’s modernization drive, and largely inherited from the Japanese martial arts. The current historical portrayal has created an obstacle to a clear understanding of the history of taekwondo, and presents problems and contradictions in philosophy and training methodology. Using rich empirical data, including interviews with leading figures in the field, this book brings together martial arts philosophy with an analysis of the technical aspects and the development of taekwondo, and provides a detailed comparison of karate and taekwondo techniques. It debunks nationalistic mythology surrounding taekwondo to provide a reinterpretation of taekwondo’s evolution.
