Totally Taekwondo magazine

Came across this and I have to say its probably one of the best TKD magazines I've read. All the issues are free online and they have some really good stuff in there for ITF, WTF and other TKD (although at the minute it seems to be a little ITF orientated). Loads of historical pieces too which look at some of the early pioneers. Worth checking out for anyone in TKD or a related style.

Thanks for sharing that, Danielle. When I get my other computer back up and running, I may have to look into printing out some of those issues.

That's about one of the best on-line mags I've ever seen! Solid! Even though I'm primarily Karate, I've some TKD background, still, I know a great magazine when I see one!

Thanks for sharing!

AWESOME!

This is a nice find. I read Issue 5, then went to Issue 1, which has a cultural article, "Taekwon-Do Numerology," by Dani Steinhoff, on p. 20. It refers to the Samtaeguk, or cirle with three swirling colors--red, blue, and yellow--to represent heaven, earth, and man. It seems that the number three is the "lucky" number in the Far East, not the number seven, and the number four is comparable to our number 13.

Incidentally, I noticed that photos in Totally TKD aren't dominated by black belts. Even the numerology article was written not by a dan member but by a 1st Gup.

Thanks for the link, DWx.

Thanks for posting this up, DWx. I have downloaded the first issue, and plan to get into the others as well.

No problem guys.

I came across it by accident and it is pretty good so I thought I'd share. Its actually edited by Stuart Anslow of Ch'ang Hon Taekwon-do Hae Sul.

I did notice that. That alone really makes it worth checking out.

I also saw that he has a new hardback edition of his book coming out. I wish he would hurry and get volume 2 out there!
