Description
Tae Kwon Do is a sport, a martial art, a fun way to keep fit, and a means of self defense that is ideally suited to the modern age. Dave Oliver's career has spanned what is arguably the most crucial period in the martial art's development. The last 30 years have seen it change from a tool of war to a safe, competitive sport. This book introduces Tae Kwon Do and its grading system; looks at stances, weapons, and vulnerable points of the body; and outlines training principles for strength, flexibility, and speed.
Critic Reviews
"Dave Oliver [the UK's godfather of Tae Kwon Do] calls upon his thirty plus years' experience to produce a book which can only be described as essential" Paul Clifton [editor of TKD-KMA and Combat magazine]
