Summary: Less useful than it first appears
Review: The beginning of this book is full of great information--stretching, basic blocks, stances, kicks, etc.HOWEVER, this book is based on WTF (sport) style Tae Kwon Do. I study ITF (traditional) style Tae Kwon Do, so I found the bulk of this book's information, such as the Tae Guek forms and WTF style rules, to be useless. If you study sport TKD or WTF style, this book might be useful. If you study Traditional TKD/ITF style, don't waste your time or money. There are better choices out there.

Summary: Good intro.
Review: The book provides a good intro for beginners. The best part is the description of the Tae guk forms, although it's essentially limited to the sequence of movements. It won't help you if you know the forms and aim to improve your performance. The remainder of the book, covering basic techniques and basic sparring moves, is simply too basic to be useful. The book briefly describes how to do a basic move, but never discusses the many things you can do wrong. Conclusion: no use beyond the green belt.

Summary: Wonderful help for a student at any Level!
Review: This book clearly explains Tae Kwon Do in an easy to follow format from history to present, kicking to punching, blocking to stances, and forms to refereeing. If you're looking for a book to help with any of these or just looking to broaden your Martial Arts knowlege this is the one for you!

Summary: GREAT BOOK!
Review: This was a great book. It clearly demonstrates all of the basic moves and also contains step by step instruction on the forms. This is a great book and the Black Belt version is just as usefull.
