Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan : Volume 2 Paperback – January 1, 1992

Seller was prompt, product great condition. For those who are in karate for the long haul this book is an excellent (in some cases almost necessary) resource for advanced forms. Not all moves are as well detailed as I would like, but I use it as a reference, not a teaching manual.

This book continues to increase in value for good reason. This book by Grandmaster Kee Hwang, founder of Tang Soo Do and Soo Bahk Do sets the standard for Dan hyungs. If you are a serious practitioner or collector you should consider this book.

This is the only book written by Grandmater Hwang Kee that contain all the forms you need to get to Grandmaster. Awesome book.

Excellent reference book for TSD.

Awesome!

The official guide to advanced Moo Duk Kwan forms, demonstrated here by H.C. Hwang, the son of founder Hwang Kee. This was the first book to introduce the three Yuk Ro Hyung designed by Hwang Kee, as well as his Magnum Opus, the form Hwa Sun. According to H.C. Hwang, the Moo Yea Do Bo Tong Ji was GM Hwang's inspiration for creating these forms. These are included in this book along with the more traditional Hyung (forms) which were adopted from Japanese Karate (which came from Okinawa, which was influenced by China, etc...).ALL of the forms are demonstrated by H.C. Hwang. I prefer this to books where a number of people do the different forms, it actually makes it esier to follow along for the simple reason that there is no variation in technique due to training, or natural factors like size and build (and yes, after years of practice you notice that). Included in this book are the following 15 advanced hyung not covered in the first textbook, "Tang Soo Do: Moo Duk Kwan":Naihanji 1-3Jin DoLo HaiSip SooKong San KunSei ShanWang ShuJi-onO-Sip Sa BoYuk Ro 1-3Hwa SunBasic execution, clearly shown, without any applications. I hope in the future H.C. Hwang offers an expanded version showing applications. Having witnessed practitioners from the USSBDMDK effectively applying some of the movements in the Yuk Ro Hyung which looked absolutely impractical to me, I must say I was impressed and had to re-evaluate some of my own assumptions.Hyung up to Cho-Dan (first degree) including Ki-Cho Hyung 1-3, Pyung Ahn 1-5, and Bassai are shown in the first textbook and NOT included here. Likewise all 3 Chil Sung Hyung are included in the Red Belt Textbook, but NOT the other two. The best place to obtain these volumes is the United States Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Federation (USSBDMDKF). Because of their specific and unambiguous nature, they are well worth the money and effort that might go into obtaining them!

Hello fellow Martial Artists. As a teenager in my Tang Soo Do training, only 14 years, I found this book to be a great source while also receiving instruction from my Master Instructor. My only complaint is that when Grand Master is demonstrating the forms and is facing South/to the rear, there isn't any pictures of what he moves he is executing. Other instruction manuals will show two pictures so that the example is clear.Tang Soo!

This is a great book. Don't buy it from Amazon for $160, you can get it from the US Soo Bahk Do Federation for around $85.
