Taekwondo is a Korean martial art practiced far and wide the world. Its popularity stems from many reasons. Virtually everyone who is involved with this art consents that it is an outstanding way to toughen physical fitness, mental focus, and self-discipline. Children who study taekwondo ceaselessly exhibit greater motivation and increased self-esteem. But even so these benefits, participants can train for competition and learn effective self-defense techniques.

The authors have chosen 38 of taekwondo’s most effective breakfalls, stances, strikes, kicks, blocks, and steps. Each of these, singly and in combination, is described and illustrated with clear language and photos. The book serves well as a companion to formal instruction or as a stand-alone text.
