I found that many of the sections were geared more towards aspiring students than advanced ones, however. For example, a black belt would already know the different types of breaks, and so some of the information was really more for an advancing student than someone with the experience already.The photographs were plentiful but a bit small, especially when detail was required (hand grips, etc.). This book was originally published in 2000 and reissued in 2013, so it is indeed dated. I chalk up some of the variations in forms, etc. to both the date and the fact that standardization was not as widespread at that time. One interesting feature is that the authors provide meanings for each movement in the form. While I might disagree with some of their interpretations, it is nice to see someone make a concerted attempt at this.The sparring techniques were surprisingly good, although a bit dated, but the self defense techniques were lacking. One of the best sections was on opening your own school. Although it was dated (no internet marketing, for example), it was still a good primer.Overall, a bit basic for black belts but a good aspirational text for an advancing student of Tae Kwon Do. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good basic guide for those studying Tai Kwon Do with an instructor in this martial art. *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2018* I have studied numerous martial arts (Judo, Jujitsu, Karate-Do, Kenjutsu, Tanto-jutsu, wakizashi-jutsu, wresting, boxing, American Combatives, Krav Maga and Tae kwon Do) in my more than 60 years of training. I have earned rank (Black Belt level) in most of them but I never earned my black belt in Tae Kwon Do; nevertheless, when I saw this 272 page soft cover book (Black Belt Tae Kwon Do: The ultimate reference guide to the world’s most popular black belt reference guide by Yeon Hwan Park and Jon Gerrard) for a bargain price on Amazon I purchased it.Interestingly I was familiar with most of the techniques shown in this book which has more than 700 black and white photographs showing the techniques; however, I must be honest and say that most of the photographs were very small and sometimes difficult to actually see clearly. In spite of this flaw this book is a good basic guide to advanced Tae Kwon Do techniques, but like all psychomotor skill (Self-Defense, Martial arts books) “how to books” one needs to have an instructor to guide the student on the finer points of doing the techniques. Using this book along with training with a Tae Kwon Do master will produce good training results and understanding of this Korean art.This book covers a lot of material such as the philosophy of Tae kwon do, practicing Tae kwon do, advanced techniques, forms, sparring techniques, self-defense techniques, breaking techniques, opening your own school, teaching Tae kwon do, and other valuable information in the appendix sections.If you are presently studying Tae Known Do with an instructor this book can help to clarify and act as a review of lessons learned in class.Rating: 4 Stars.
