Totally Tae Kwon Do The Global Tae Kwon Do Magazine

Authors: B. T. Milnes

Taekwondo Terminology 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.

Taekwondo Forms - Unam A 'lost' form is a form that was once practised often by the students of a martial art, but which in time has been forgotten, and information about it lost. Taekwondo is a relatively new martial art – being only sixty years old as of 2015. However, in that time, there are a few forms which have been forgotten. Unam is one such ‘lost’ form. Practised in the formative years of Taekwondo, the only evidence of it that remains today is in Choi Hong-hi’s first edition Taekwondo textbook in Korean. (The form never made it into the English editions.) Now, more than fifty years after the form has been practised, B. T. Milnes has translated the section of Choi’s 1959 textbook that describes the movements of the form. With this book, a supplementary text to Taekwondo Forms, find out what became of this ancient form, and why we no longer practise it. This book contains a line-by-line translation of the movements of the form, with detailed annotations as to what particular words and phrases mean, and how the terminology has changed in the decades since. The book also contains a discussion about the form, and a description of the movements using modern terminology, so that you can practise and perform the form yourself.
