Soo Bahk Do Tang Soo Do, Volume 1
This is the first volume of five on the classic Korean martial art of Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan. It is the most complete text on the basic unarmed martial artistry in print.
This first volume contains a general history of the martial arts, as well as the history of Soo Bahk Do (the historical form of Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan) in the form of the original instructional scrolls which date from the 17th century.
Anyone, whether he is an active practitioner or interested observer, will find more fundamental factual knowledge of the martial arts here than in any other single source. For example, the reader will find Newton's principles of motion applied to the human body. This is the first time that such scientific theory has been related to martial arts practice.
This first volume is the basic reference text on Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan as taught by Grandmaster Hwang Kee, the founder of the style. All basic movements, striking points, principles and the first nine forms (Hyungs) are described both in words and in pictures.
No martial arts library can be complete without this book and no serious student of martial artistry can ignore the information contained in this book.
By Hwang Kee. Hardcover. 425 pages.
