This groundbreaking first book studies the history and development of the Ch'ang Hon (ITF) Taekwon-do patterns as devised, taught and developed by the founder of Taekwon-do; General Choi, Hong Hi. Ch'ang Hon Taekwon-do Hae Sul is an in-depth study of the Ch'ang Hon Taekwon-do patterns; their history and their roots; Taekwon-do's evolution; its genetic make-up; its differences with other martial arts; and the techniques and movements that define the system.
For the first time since its inception, this book details realistic interpretations for the ITF patterns including Chon-Ji, Dan-Gun, Do-San, Won-Hyo, Yul-Gok, Joong-Gun, Toi-Gye, as well as Saju Jirugi and Sagu Makgi. Over 17 chapters covering 360+ pages, with over 1,600 detailed photographs, the patterns are examined, dissected and rebuilt to help both students and instructors understand the applications that are really contained within the Ch'ang Hon patterns - many of which were previously unknown and undocumented.
In step-by-step photographic detail, learn what the techniques and combinations of the Ch'ang Hon patterns actually represent and how to turn your patterns into a realistic way of training actual self defence techniques that work, and turn them into something much more than they are practiced today.
Along the way, the reader is treated to a fascinating insight into the history of the Ch'ang Hon patterns as well as Taekwon-do itself, with many of its previously unknown, undocumented or understudied principles revealed. Read what helped to shape the art which became so feared on the battlefield of Vietnam that enemy soldiers were told not to engage the Korean soldiers, whether armed or not, due to their knowledge of Taekwon-do. A historical study of Taekwon-do and its patterns - as well as a training manual and an encyclopaedia of realistic applications - make this book a must-read for all those that study and practice Taekwon-do. A milestone for the development of Taekwon-do.
"I know of neither a Western nor a Korean author who has gone this far to publish a book on Chang Hon Taekwon-do tul/pattern analysis ... "
- Yi, Yun Wook, Taekwon-do Instructor
"Ch'ang Hon Taekwondo Hae Sul should be in the library of all practitioners of ITF Taekwondo. Read on, learn and enjoy!"
- Iain Abernethy

About the Author
Though a full time instructor, his reputation is gained not only by his own career (he was a World Gold and Silver medalist in 2000) but also by his uncompromising approach to teaching and the standards within his Academy and that of his students.. The student's quality is testament of his `no short cuts' approach to how martial arts in general and Taekwon-do in particular should be taught. His classes flourish with quality students despite much local competition from schools with a more relaxed approach to teaching and grading's. Many of his students feature in the photographs within the book.
Stuart was a regular writer for the UK martial arts press, having written many articles for `Taekwon-do and Korean Martial Arts', `Combat', `Martial Arts Illustrated' and `Fighters' magazines and now publishers his own Tae kwon Do magazine 'Totally Tae Kwon Do'.
In October 2003, Stuart was inducted into the world renowned Combat Magazines `Hall Of Fame 2003' for his work within the field of martial arts on a worldwide level. Combat magazine was the UK and Europe's biggest martial arts publication; he has since gone on to receive other awards from both ITF and even the president of the WTF for his work in Taekwon-Do.
