Review
"As a martial arts instructor it is great having a resource that helps instructors and students understand the correlation between techniques in a form and how they can be used with a grappling application."—James Bailey. 8th Degree TaeKwonDo Grand Master and Co-founder of Tiger Rock Martial Arts International
Review
"Interpretation of movement is at the heart of all pattern (kata) training and Taekwondo Grappling Techniques presents an insightful interpretation of the movements included in Taekwondo. The influences and origins of various styles are all intertwined and the techniques often have several interpretations. I found the interpretations in Taekwondo Grappling Techniques to be both informative and thought provoking."—Danny Dring, 8th Degree Taekwondo, Owner and Founder of Living Defense Martial Arts
Review
"I found the book to be both informative as well as instructional. So little was known or taught to many of us as students ourselves in our generation about the true meanings of the moves within the patterns. The fact that we can now disect these meanings is a testiment to both the dedication and to the pursuit of excellence in Taekwondo that Mr. Steve Snyder and Dr. Tony Kemerly have demonstrated. I would highly recommend this book to any Taekwondo instructor or student."—George Strickland, Co-founder TaeKwonDo United Association
