46 - Totally Tae Kwon Do Julia Cross 6X World Champion
Grandmaster Choi Chang Keun (C.K. Choi) has been studying Tae Kwon- Do since 1956, and in 2007 published his book The Korean Martial Art Of Tae Kwon Do & Early History, and this year (2010) a revised edition was released. The book focuses on what GM Choi calls “practical training systems with effective self defence techniques”. Under this umbrella the varied free fighting techniques consisting of punching, striking, blocking, dodging and kicking are covered. Each technique is described and clearly displayed with uncluttered pages, demonstrating possible applications of the movements. To a higher grade this part of the book may seem a little simplistic, but to a lower grade or Tae Kwon-Do novice it is a great aid in learning where to apply various strikes, kicks or blocks. The meanings of all the original Tae Kwon- Do Patterns are included, providing a handy reference. The lack of the actual patterns themselves in the book doesn’t really cause problems because there are Book Book Review Review “The Korean Martial Art Of Tae Kwon Do & Early History (Revised Edition)” By Grandmaster C.K. Choi Review by David Price so many other books out there dedicated to the patterns. This book is centred around free fighting techniques rather than patterns in any case. Within this new edition, GM Choi has included the Sparring Patterns which he developed to develop practical fighting skills and muscle development. Within these sparring patterns, each consists of a single type of technique or movement; e.g. punching, palm heel striking, knife hand striking, forearm blocking, etc. these sparring patterns provide a very good muscular and cardiovascular work out as well as developing fighting techniques. I myself have begun including them in regular training at my club as I found them very beneficial. Another new section in this book is a set of training guide lines explaining what exercises should be practiced at different grades. It is described quite clearly although the black belt patterns are listed with only 2 at each grade instead of 3, which could be a little confusing. Totally Tae Kwon Do - 47
