Taekwondo is a Korean martial art and combat sport. A form of mental as well as military training, it is now the national sport of Korea as well as an Olympic one, with kicking techniques that are widely regarded by the world's martial arts cognoscenti as the best.
David Mitchell tells the story of the art, how it originated and developed. Stances, body weapons and techniques are described, as are the methods of assembling series of moves.
Free and pre-arranged sparring are explained too. Exercises for attaining fitness and the vital question of safety in the practice of taekwondo, potentially one of the most lethal of the martial arts, are given full coverage. The organization of taekwondo as a sport - its clubs, membership, rules and the structure of competition - is fully explained.
