Good for the serious competitor,

This review is from: Taekwondo Kyorugi: Olympic Style Sparring (Paperback)
I've never been a fan of point sparring, but I have to admit this is a pretty good book. It's definetly not for the beginner, though. The technique section is very basic, giving only the briefest of discriptions on the kicks, but also providing suggestions on how the moves are best utilized. The book then goes into stratagies for TKD style sparring, though most of the drills and principles can be used by karateka as well. What does show a lot of depth is that the authors include chapters on sports medicine, nutrition, mental preparation, and conditioning. A lot of that information is useful to any serious martial artist who participates in point sparring, and I'd recoment the conditioning excersises be applied to any program. The book ends with a chapter on Olympic TKD rules, including weight classes and a list of fouls. A glossary follows. As this book was designed to prepare competitors and coaches for Olympic-level competition, I'd call it an essential publication to anyone who is competing at the national levels in any martial art point sparring.

A lot more than it looks,

This review is from: Taekwondo Kyorugi: Olympic Style Sparring (Paperback)
I think this is a great book. If you ar looking for a big book with a lot of pictures in it, then this is not the book for you since wery few of the combinations are shown. But if you already know how to kick and how to punch, then that should not be a problem for you. Everyone involved in sparring as a practicioner or as a coach could learn a lot from this book. I certainly did, even thaug i practice ITF Taekwon-Do, since a lot of the bodywork and qualities you need are similar.

For kyorugi, the best book on the market...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Taekwondo Kyorugi: Olympic Style Sparring (Paperback)
I trained in Korea from 1992 to 2000, and can honestly say the programs outlined in this book are equal to if not more complete than the training I received in Korea. In conjunction with the "Future Champions" video there is no better training product.
