Customer Reviews

A Great TKD Book for Kids

I'm 10 years old and a brown belt. I really liked reading this book. I met Mr. Perez at the National Championships last summer. He's a really good teacher in person and he's a reaaly good author too. He doesn't teach you the "super secret flying whirly kick" but how to win with the basics instead. My dad likes it too.

A Well Written Guide to Taekwondo for Kids and Parents

As a parent of of a budding martial artist I found this book to be very complete and demystifying. Taekwondo is a complicated and demanding sport and Mr. Perez goes through the basics thoroughly but without resorting to karate jargon. I bought the book for my son for Christmas. In addition to being a world class athelete Mr. Perez is an accomplished writer. I can highly recommend this book.

A great comprehensive guide for beginner Taekwondo students.

A wonderful book in a crowded category of muddy manuals and poorly written translations. It's everything a kid (or parent) who aspires to pursue Taekwondo needs to know and what to expect. Herb Perez is not only an Olympic Gold Medallist and a terrific role model but also an articulate author spokesman for the martial art.

awesome and some of the best pictures I have seen

this is a great book for children and adults alike. . .perez has a way to describe the martial arts that make it easy for anyone to learn
