The popularity of Taekwondo is apparent by the tens of millions of practitioners worldwide, and by the inclusion of Taekwondo in the summer Olympic games. Author Richard Chun began studying the style when he was eleven and assembled this guide for thousands of Taekwondo practitioners to reference as they advance in their training. Whether for self-defense, forms competition, or in preparation for the Olympic games, this book provides information to assist you on your Taekwondo journey.

Chun covers a brief history of the art, moving on to blocking techniques, hand techniques, kicking techniques, stances, striking surfaces, stretching and warm-up techniques, vital target points, self-defense techniques, step sparring, free sparring, falling safely, throws, breaking, equipment, forms and patterns and Taekwondo as a sport. Grandmaster Chun's book does not cut corners on photographs or explanations. Moo Duk Kwan Taekwondo is a comprehensive study on the Korean art of self-defense detailing every conceivable aspect of the art.
