Product Description

Iain Abernethy Readers News Letter
The first thing that strikes you about the book is just how much work has gone into it!

Combat Magazine - November 2006
Far more than a simple 'how to' manual, entering instead, the
realms of essential reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic manual for Taekwondo applications!, 14 Aug 2006

By	Mr. Colin Avis (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Anyone with an interest in martial arts, or more specifically ITF TaeKwon-Do, would benefit from this excellent book. Hundreds of photos detail useful and effective methods of immobilising an opponent. Based on the ITF patterns, the techniques may be found in other striking arts but are often overlooked when learning patterns for more obvious techniques. The book shows how TaeKwon-Do is not limitied to strikes/blocks and shows where sweeps, locks, throws and takedowns are present within the patterns. Not for the faint-hearted, this book shows realistic and devastating techniques with the emphahsis on stopping an attacker quickly and furiously! There are no flowery moves which are in reality useless. There is also a great deal of information about the history of martial arts and the development of ITF patterns as well as expalantions of the science and thinking behind the techniques. The author Mr. Stuart Anslow IV has also included information about the academy at which he teaches located in Harrow, north west London. The book refers also to the school's website www.raynerslanetkd.com which contains a wealth of information. If you practice TeaKwon-Do then what are you waiting for, this will be the most important book in your martial arts collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for All TKD Practitioners, 22 Jul 2006

By	N. Harrison "Neil Harrison" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I cannot recommend this book more highly for any TKD practitioner. If offers thoughtful and logical views on the methodology behind the pattern applications which has been long overlooked along with the very interesting historical background. The fact the book is also an on-going reference manual, make it an excellent investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!, 26 Jul 2007

By	D. R. Anderson "Yonhap" (Rutland/UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had a copy of Stuarts book since its release and advise any serious students of Ch'ang Hon (ITF/TAGB etc)Taekwon-do to get a copy. For me it ranks alongside the encyclopedias for all the information inside and I strongly advise my students to give it a read and keep it for reference. You may not agree with all the applications but it gives you a new way to visualise what you are performing (that is if you were'nt doing them that way already). An excellent book Stuart, and its about time you thought about the next one.
Dave Anderson, IIIrd Degree, Yon-Hap TKD.
