| Not enough drawings and pictures that explain the moves. |

The most important thing in marital arts is to understand how to do a proper move. Drawings in this book are black and white, sharp, but too small.
Sometimes hard to understand how to do moves.
In fact it is not enough pictures and drawings.
It should be colored pictures, like in Gracie's Jiu-Jitsu books. But price of this book is not bad, so overall it is good buy. But there are better books.
Other thing. Taekwondo is not about belts and forms. It's about kicking and self defense. I don't care much about forms, so I wish to see more actual fighting moves and sparring situations that I can use for self defense.

This is a great book with easy to understand information. If you are new to TKD this book will give you great insight and the further along you get in the sport the more you will appreciate this book. The forms are shown in three different ways so everyone can find what works best for them. I recommend this to all new students and those looking to perfect their skills.

Very well written and easy to read book. I love the pictures they provide. I also love that they provide all of the TG forms in the back of the book as picture only; so if you get stuck in the middle of a form, all you need to do is look in the back of the book for your form and you've got it! As a visual learner, these really help me. This book has helped me through 5 belt tests, particularly forms. Buy this book, you won't regret it.

This is my 'go-to' Taekwondo reference book for forms and history. I've trained at West Side Taekwondo in the past and find that their training and school is among the best. This book is easy to follow and very complete in it's content. I highly recommend it to any practicing martial artist in TKD.

I gained the most from the poomsaes. They are broken down three different ways to suit different learning styles. Written, written with illustrations and illustrations. They really were the best resource available when I learned these taeguk poomaes.
