Thank you, that was _exactly_ the kind of information I was looking for. Could you give me a more in-depth review of the techniques in the book (not the forms)?

Thanks for all the useful replies guys. You really managed to keep on topic on this one.

Would there be any circular techniques in that book as well? I.e. spinning kicks?

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately, there is no specific information of the kind I asked for on ITF's website. And, even if there were, it would obviously be biased towards ITF (just as official information from the WTF is biased towards WTF). I'm looking for information from sources other than ITF or WTF.

Hello I'm trying to find out how many and what kind of techniques there were in Taekwondo, at about 1940-1960; specifically how far it had developed from Karate-do at this early stage. From what I've read, it seems Karate-do and Taekwondo were virtually identical as late as 1968 (says Sihak Henry Cho). That seems a bit late, but from what I can tell Karate-do and Taekwondo were virtually identical at least through the better part of the fifties. I'd like to know when, exactly, the circular techniques became part of Taekwondo. If anyone can tell me, or tell me where I can read about it, I'd appreciate it very much. Thank you, Jester

Hello everyone, I'm trying to find out how many (and what kinds of) techniques existed in Gichin Funakoshi's Karate-do, ca 1940-1950. If anyone could tell me, or tell me where to look for this information, I would appreciate it very much. Also, it would be interesting to know which techniques were part of Kong Soo Do/Tang Soo Do/Taekwondo at this time, and how different from Karate-do it had become at this stage. Best regards, Jester
