    Should be REQUIRED reading

    GM Mel Steiner - 9th Degree

    Should be REQUIRED reading for all Ch’ang Hon black belts from 9th dan down. Kudos to Mr. McDonald for exposing the short comings of “our” art.

    10/10

    Scott McMillan - 5th Degree

    I'd like to thank Ciaran for this. In my opinion it's what Taekwondo needs....because there are some explanations in the Encyclopedia that don't make sense. However, the dvd on Joon gun is a good piece of work that all Taekwondo Instructors and students should have in there dvd reference library! Loving the work 10/10
    GM James Tjin A Ton - 9th Degree ITF

    Your Book is Great!

    GM James Tjin A Ton - 9th Degree ITF

    Your book is great and i recommend this book to all students of ITF Patterns to open their mind and not only for applications of the patterns by our founder General Choi Hong Hi.
    GM Paul Liversidge - 9th Degree

    One of the best book I've read on TKD

    GM Paul Liversidge - 9th Degree

    It is one of the best books I've read on Tae Kwon-Do. I started Judo at an early age, then Shotokan Karate, leading onto Tae Kwon-Do, so I can see where the author is coming from re his presentation of various techniques. I certainly enjoyed reading this excellent presentation of the history of the development of the International Tae Kwon-Do Federation and the patterns. It is a pleasure and an enjoyable experience to read and I recommend this book to all I rate this book 10 out of 10
