Dear Taekwondo Family,
This manual is dedicated to all the instructors and students. Over the years that our school has been open, many of you have requested written information ranging from the correct Korean names for different stances, blocks, and punches to the origins of Taekwondo itself. I have designed this manual to help answer your questions. It should be used as a reference guide and should help in both learning and teaching Taekwondo.
Taekwondo is the most popular martial art in the world. It was a demonstration sport at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, Korea as well as the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. Beginning with the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia it is a full medal sport, one of only two martial arts to have this honorable distinction.
Taekwondo has rapidly grown in popularity through the years due to the immense benefits it provides. Many of my students have found greater self-confidence, physical and mental discipline, and improved health as a result of their training. I hope you will all benefit from Taekwondo as I have through the years.
Sincerely,
Master Jung Woo Kim
