Review Quotes

Living a TaeKwonDo Life is an absolute phenomenal read. Master Hill takes his experience and knowledge of the art and transforms it into a true educational work of art. No matter the experience level of the reader, either a beginner just starting their journey, or an experienced Black Belt with many years of training in the art, this book is beneficial for all levels of training. Beginning with the history of the art, continuing through the chapter of "Do" (my personal favorite) all the way through to kicking techniques, and forms, and the modern misconceptions of TaeKwonDo, this book literally has something for everyone. Master Hills knowledge and true love for the art is truly second to none, and it really transforms into the pages of this book. Thank you Master Hill for sharing your knowledge and true-life experiences with the reader. I give this read 5 Stars. *****
