Opis

This book is ideal for any student of Taekwondo looking to broaden their Korean vocabulary or improve their pronunciation of Korean terms.

The first part of the book includes explanations on the pronunciation of Korean words and the construction of basic sentences. There is also an abbreviated history of the Korean language, and a description of the different romanisations used to represent Korean words with Latin letters.

The second part of the book gives information on thousands of Korean terms that are used in Taekwondo to describe movements. Terms are presented in Hangeul and Hanja, and represented according to the Revised Romanisation of Korean. There are also directions for how the term is used specifically within martial arts.

Though this book has been written for students of Taekwondo, much of it would also be useful for anyone training in Tangsudo, Gongsudo, or Hapkido.
