Tae Kwon Do Book

(Ref: BSbk-tkd-033)

Tae Kwon Do Book
Tae Kwon Do is a sport, a martial art, a fun way to keep fit and a means of self defence that is aideally suited to the modern age. In over 3,000 years of development it has undergone transformations that have seen it change from a basic means of self defence to a way to turn the human body into a killing machine. Dave Oliver's career has spanned what is arguably the most crucial period in the martial art's development: the last thirty years have seen it change from a tool of war to a safe, competitive sport and means of keeping fit. Dave has personally been responsible for much of the transition, and in this book he takes you on a journey into a world he has known for most of his life, and invites you to take part.
