best kata book I've seen
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Superb book by one of the greatest kata men in America, Keith D. Yates. This book covers the Chunji forms (Chunji to Kae Beck) plus Japanese forms Chul-gi and Basai, with clear, easy-to-follow photographs and examples of applications. I've almost worn out my copy with use. For even the full experience, you'll want to combine this with Mr. Yates' 2-video set, "The Complete Video of Tae Kwon Do Forms/A History of Korean Karate in America." I strongly recommend this book for the serious martial artist.
excellent resource

Shows all the chungi forms step by step. A great tool to brush up on your kata. I bought one and my friends kept borrowing it so it's almost worn out. I recommend this book to all serious ITF-style TKD practitioners.
Great Book

This is an excellent book on ITF Katas. It contains katas from Chonji to Kae Beck. This book also contains many valuable pictures to assist in the understanding of these forms. I have told my friends and they too have bought this reference book.
A Fast Way to Learn Forms
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book is so lavishly illustrated and well organized that the student can learn forms directly from the book. I know because I have used the book to learn a number of them.After you learn a form, have an instructor critique it. Then go home and refine the form further.I own an original edition of "The Complete Book of Taekwondo Forms" and consider it a collector's item. Though I am a black belt myself, I occasionally refer to the book when I am not sure about a particular step.The forms covered are the chungdo kwan forms (chunji, tangoon, tauson, way hyo, etc.).
