Book from creation to unification summary
From my book review blog at well as my martial arts blog at a note for the sake of full disclosure As the author worked on finalizing this book I shared with him a similar report I had written as my thesis when testing for 1st degree black belt We Battleshipped back and forth about various factual and stylistic questions after he had read my report He was even so kind to include me in the acknowledgements and bibliography. From creation to unificationforce While I consider Mr Anslow a friend and I might have contributed in this book in some small way I am not obligated to give the book a positive review Just as I would expect him to provide constructive criticism of my writing or taekwon do technique I will do the same for this book I certainly can t be critical of his taekwon do technique since he outranks me That said let s get to the brass tacks of this review. Exploring creation with biology ebook Taekwon do practitioners who perform the Ch ang Hon patterns or as is the case with my school a derivation of them due to various splits over the years will be familiar with the pattern set that goes from Chon Ji through Tong Il As students we are expected to learn the meanings as put forth by General Choi Hong Hi in the ITF Encyclopedia Often after a student gives a correct meaning during class or testing I will ask them Correct but what does that mean This is my way of telling the students they need to do than just rote memorization of the meanings It s no different than learning how to perform a pattern correctly but not understand the applications of the various techniques. Unification church holy song book As noted at the outset when I tested for 1st degree black belt in 2002 my thesis was a 97 page what you complain about a two page report for your belt testings history of the patterns from Chon Ji through Kwang Gae at that time the highest pattern I knew I had started at blue belt with Joong Gun as I found his life and patriotism fascinating It continued until black belt when I went back and did histories for the patterns prior to blue belt. From creation to unificationi unifying theology He provides detailed information about each of the 25 patterns from the ITF curriculum including both Juche and Ko Dang for those expecting 24 as well as the six GTF patterns created by Grandmaster Park Jung Tae prior to his death in 2002 Included as part of of each pattern is a listing of the definition as put forth by Gen Choi even if it is incorrect such as the birth year of Do San Ahn Chang Ho then Mr Anslow proceeds to dissect and analyze the meaning determining if possible the reason behind the number of moves in the pattern. From creation to unification book review Mr Anslow also provides much detail about the history behind the person or concept for which the pattern was named supplying many pictures about the people involved and giving very detail footnotes These footnotes naturally tie to an extensive bibliography at the end of the book. From creation to unification book review The author is also not shy about pointing out errors in the original meanings not in an effort to discredit or demean Gen Choi but rather point out that Gen Choi was first and foremost a solider and martial artist not a historian Consequently it s not unheard of that some facts may not be as accurate as at first glance. Unification church holy song book Overall I am very impressed with this book Mr Anslow has been doing research on this for decades and it shows I can also know from personal interactions with him that if he was not able to validate as factual something he ran across he excluded it from the book rather than risking the integrity of the book There are some stylistic things that annoyed me but those have no bearing on the overall quality of the book Naturally I did find a couple of items that I believe are factually incorrect which is inevitable in a first edition If those due bear out to be inaccuracies I have no doubt the author will make every effort to correct them prior to the next edition. From creation to unificationalism Rating 5 stars out of 5 9781906628550 Master Anslow has assembled a tremendous amount of information useful to anyone interested in Taekwondo history He is very careful with his citations which can be easily followed up on if desired. From creation to unification book review In addition to updating and correcting information about each form he provides a brief history of Korea which was very helpful to me when trying to picture the various people dynasties etc with respect to each other He also provides a section with concise background on each form copyright free to encourage people to replace older outdated descriptions. Book from creation to unification of europe I would love to see two things in an updated version 1 It needs editing It doesn t take away from the information but there are grammatical issues and some style changes I would like to see That s not meant to be read as disrespectful 2 An ebook version so one could quickly search for information 9781906628550
another much needed resource for all students of Korean Martial Arts Yes all Korean Martial Arts Master George Vitale 8th Degree Through the patterns of Ch ang Hon ITF Taekwon Do thousands of students around the world have learned about Korea and its history than by any other resource due in no uncertain terms to the fact that General Choi Hong Hi chose to name the patterns after famous historical figures or events from Korean history the patterns that hundreds of thousands of Taekwon Do students now practice However with the name of each pattern General Choi only left the smallest snippet of information on those people or events which for years has left many students wanting to know This book aims to fulfil that want and provides a much deeper insight and background into the lives of the illustrious figures or events that so inspired General Choi In this book you will learn that you ever knew about these great figures in Korean history and understand what lead to them being chosen as a name for one of General Choi s patterns but importantly their great contributions to Korea and its history just as General Choi wanted In General Choi s own words A part of Korea therefore now exists across the whole world and Korea s nationality and history can never be removed by oppressors again Apart from expanding on the histories behind each of the Ch ang Hon ITF patterns this book corrects some small errors and reveals some interesting titbits and revelations along the way It finally puts those last pieces of missing jigsaw in to place and completes the whole picture for the reader Master Ray Gayle 8th Degree From Creation to Unification The Complete Histories Behind the Chang Hon ITF Patterns
