Customer Rating: Summary: Outstanding Martial Arts Info Comment: I have been taking one form or other of Martial Arts most of my life. This book is a great resource for any Tang So Do student. Although many of the techniques are not practiced in my dojang, or the patterns are slightly different, I found this book to be interesting and informative. Your not going to finnish reading this book and be able to defend yourself but with a membership to a dojang and daily practice this book will definately help you understand why you practice the forms and basic movements.
