Search - Taekwondo: Complete WTF Forms

Taekwondo Complete WTF Forms
Author: Marc Tedeschi

This unique text is the first to offer a detailed, comprehensive presentation of Taekwondo’s three most widely practiced forms systems, including those sanctioned by Taekwondo’s largest governing organization, the World Taekwondo Federation. More than 5000 photographs and 1200 drawings spanning 512 pages document the 25 individual for... more »ms that make up the P’algwae, T’aeguk, and WTF Black Belt forms systems. Detailed introductory chapters provide a brief overview of Taekwondo’s structure, review the historical origins of forms, outline general principles of execution and interpretation, and thoroughly describe the underlying philosophical concepts and meanings associated with each individual form and form system. In subsequent chapters, each of the 25 forms begins with summary pages for quick reference, followed by a detailed breakdown of each movement, which includes larger photos, descriptive text, alternate views, closeups of complex actions, Korean nomenclature, precise footwork drawings, pattern diagrams on every page for constant reference, and examples of select movements applied to practical self-defense. Since forms training is intended to be a reflection of actual combat, descriptive text also outlines the combative purpose behind each movement, as well as common alternate interpretations. While many books on forms have been produced over the years, none offer the level of detail, accuracy, and technical description provided by this text. Written and designed by the author of the 896-page "Taekwondo: Traditions, Philosophy, Technique"—widely acclaimed for its comprehensive integration of traditional and modern approaches, sport and self-defense, in a single text—this indispensable companion work is the definitive book on WTF forms. MARC TEDESCHI is an internationally respected artist, designer, educator, and martial arts master, who has practiced martial arts for more than twenty-five years, training extensively in Hapkido, Taekwondo, Jujutsu, Judo, and Karate. Mr. Tedeschi's unique ability to blend his skills as a designer, writer, and martial artist has resulted in numerous books, widely acknowledged for their design excellence, outstanding imagery, and clarity of content. He is the author of eleven works, including the landmark 896-page "Taekwondo: Traditions, Philosophy, Technique"; "Essential Anatomy for Healing and Martial Arts"; the 1136-page "Hapkido: Traditions, Philosophy, Technique"; and a unique series of books that outline the core concepts and techniques shared by a broad range of martial arts.
