The History Of Taekwondo; An Outsider'S Perspective

Author Matt Scott Diaz attempts to use his first-hand experience and outsider's perspective to research the history of the Korean martial art of Taekwondo. Removing the mythology that often expounds the narrative of a direct connection to the ancient warrior of Korea, Diaz instead dives into the modern history of Taekwondo and exposes a more realistic record. The real story of Taekwondo is that of a martial art forged out of the turbulent history of Korea unfortunately wrought with as much scandal and corruption as it is with triumph and success. With his work, Diaz gives his perspective that is both hopeful as well as critical.
