Summary: A Grand Work From a True Martial Arts Legend
Review: I had the opportunity to read the manuscript of this book prior to publication as well as the fininshed work. Being an instructor and true follower of Grand Master Chun, I was delighted in the content and his writing style. It is both sincere and riveting. Dr. Chun leads us through his life and inspires the reader with many significant experiences from his youth in Korea to the present. Having authored the book, Taekwondo Ancient Wisdom for the Modern Warrior, I personally know what it is like to share your passion with others. Grandmaster Chun is highly successful at this mission. This is a must-read book for anyone involved in martial arts and taekwondo inparticular.

Summary: Embracing the physical and spiritual virtues of Taekwondo
Review: Taekwondo Spirit and Practice: Beyond Self-Defense by Grand Master Richard Chun (President of the United States Taekwondo Association and Special Assistant to the President of the World Taekwondo Federation) is the personal experience and expert testimony of a true 9th Dan Grandmaster in the respected and disciplined martial art of Taekwondo, who blends his journey from Korea to America and his strength in rising to the challenge of adapting to a strange language and culture to the life lessons of the art itself. Embracing the physical and spiritual virtues of Taekwondo as a venue for self-improvement, Taekwondo Spirit And Practice is an emotional and spiritual supplement to martial arts philosophy shelves and strongly recommended reading for students of the Martial Arts in general, and Taekwondo in particular.

Summary: Essential reading for all Martial Artists
Review: Today, too little is presented on the traditonal value of the martial arts as a lifestyle practice. Dr. Chun, who was one of the first Taekwondo Masters sent to the US, brings a richness on experience that makes him a national treasure. Useful to all martial art stylists. Do not miss this.
