Synopsis:
The best selling Complete Tang Soo Do Manual series represents Grand Master Ho Sik Pak's 37 years of experience in the art of Tang Soo Do and other martial arts styles. This volume covers the techniques from 2nd Dan to 6th Dan Black Belt and includes for the first time a total of five Chil Sung Hyungs (forms). The requirements chapters include step-by-step photos of the forms—self-defense, breaking, sparring, and endurance—for each Dan level. As a bonus chapter, Grand Master Pak includes the Healing Form, which he created to increase the flow of oxygen to the body, develop chi, and promote healing. Volume 2 is a full-color book with more than 2,000 photographs that were shot against beautiful backgrounds in Korea, New Zealand, and the United States. This is a book for every serious martial artist, regardless of style!
About the Author:
Sik Pak, Grandmaster Ho, 8th Degree Black Belt, began his study of Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan at the age of 10 in Yong Mun, a small town in the Kyung Ki province of South Korea. He was awarded Cho Dan at the age of 13 and continued his study there until 1977. From 1977 to 1979, Grand Master Pak served in the Korean Army and taught combat and self-defense skills to his fellow servicemen. He was employed as an instructor of Tang Soo Do at the American Air Force Base in South Korea, where he taught the same techniques to U.S. military personnel until 1982. In 1981 he won a prestigious Korean bodybuilding contest. In 1982 he was chosen as a member of the Korean Olympic Tang Soo Do team and traveled to the International Tang Soo Do Championship in Atlantic City, New Jersey, where he contributed to the team's victory.
