Tae Kwon Do: Techniques & Training

Rating:
Summary: This book is confusing
Review: This book is basically lists of things rather than text which makes it hard to learn from. The forms drawings are small and hard to follow (and some of the names are spelled wrong). There are a lot of better books out there that cover each of the subjects in this book in more detail.

Rating:
Summary: Great reference for TKD Forms!
Review: This book is useful to the student of TKD if only for the detailed drawings and descriptions of the taegeuk, palgwe, koryo, etc. poomse. Also contains some history, Korean-English vocabulary, and descriptions of basic TKD techniques

Summary: This book is confusing
Review: This book shows pal-gwe forms 1-8, tae-kook forms 1-8, koryo, kumgang, and tae book. If you are looking for a book on the technique of kicks, punches, etc., then don't by this book(it shows some but doesn't have much pictures for them). The pictures of the forms are sort of detailed but very small compared to the ones in "Tae kwon do: the ultimate reference guide to the world's most popular martial art." Another thing is: the stances and hand/kicking techniques are explained in korean. This may help u study korean terms better but it is sort of a waste of time. For a book thats $10.36, i'd say its not bad for the price.
