Publisher's Note Everybody interested in martial arts, especially Taekwondo, is always hooking for the best answers to three basic questions: Will the techniques I'm learning really work in self-defense and competition? Am I learning these techniques the best possible way? How can I remember, master, and apply all that I am learning? These are the questions this book is specifically designed to answer. With the experienced instructions of a master teacher and award-winner-quality photos, every step that makes a champion gets the detailed attention you're looking for. The techniques are organized just like a workout session, starting with preparation, conditioning, and weight-room workout. The basic stances are clearly explained, followed by a careful guide to the seven principal kicking techniques; hand punches and blocks; and other strategies and applications.The most important aspect of training, the psychological component, shows how to keep yourself motivated through continuing-education seminars and proper rest and relaxation, so that you, too, can experience the indescribable breakthroughs which Taekwondo veterans refer to as times "when the indomitable spirit hits home".
