Shing-Wo Cultural Corporation, 1959. — 338 p.We are happy to present the first ever book on Tae Kwon Do. This book was written by General Choi Hong Hi, the principle founder of Tae Kwon Do.
The book was published in October of 1959. This was 1 month after General Choi formed the Korea Tae Kwon Do Assocation on September 3, 1959, serving as the first President.
The book was written using Korean Hangul and Chinese Hanja, which was common at the time. It contains the first 5 Korean Tae Kwon Do Patterns, then called Hyungs: Hwa-Rang, Chung-Mu, Ul-Ji, U-Nam and Sam-Il.
This book is further undeniable evidence that Tae Kwon Do is not 2,000 years old and that without General Choi Hong Hi, there would be no Tae Kwon Do!
Enjoy another piece of history.
