Description
This is Grand Master Richard Chun's account of his life's dedication to the art of taekwondo. We learn why taekwondo is a noble and positive recreation for children, offering them challenges and lessons that they will reflect on for their entire life. We follow the author as he takes taekwondo to the West, not knowing how he or his art will be received. The volume is written for all styles and all levels of practice, and is illustrated with many photographs.
