Every level 1 black belt student is required to learn Poomsae Koryo. Yet, few are familiar with the ancestral form known as the 'Original Koryo'. Prearranged forms known as poomsae in taekwondo, are a primary method of transmitting martial arts skills from teacher to student. As sport preference supplanted fighting preference in taekwondo's reason for existence, the Original Koryo was modified in kind to today's well-known Koryo. Written specifically for level 1 and level 2 black belt students, this book is a scholarly attempt to capture, transmit and preserve as an inheritance, the historical treasures and technical elements inherent in Original Koryo and Koryo, as well as the applications less obvious or even secretly encoded in these forms. This knowledge will benefit those seeking more than triumph in the ring or aerobic fulfillment from their taekwondo training. In summary, students will find in this book: History and philosophy Technical elements for learning the basics Detailed instruction for learning Koryo Detailed instruction for learning Original Koryo Over two hundred photographs, line of motion charts, stepping patterns, and martial applications are provided throughout this in-depth instructional book. Review: Book was as described. - Good book for reference on original koryo taekwondo form. Review: Traditional TKD Poomsae Inheritance - As a student and instructor of Chosun Taekwondo Academy I have had the privilege of learning Original Koryo and Koryo directly from Master Cook. His demand for precise technique and proper sequencing as taught to him by Grand Master Chun is revealed in the book. The format of the book, first, providing a brief informative history and the influence that Korean history had on Koryo is a welcome bonus in understanding the poomsae. The technical elements section provides detailed explanations with photos of each technique providing student and instructor with valuable information. The poomsae section with footwork diagrams and photos provide excellent instruction to learn from the book, or even better provide a review mechanism in addition to your master’s instruction. Ending with the combat applications the reader will understand the purpose of each sequence. From an instructor’s point of view, the table of contents listing each technique and movement is valuable as a quick reference, including an extensive glossary; this book is a must for instructors and black belt students.

Most Taekwondo practitioners only know of one "Koryo". Some arts refer to the "Original Koryo" as "Koryo 1" and "Koryo 2" for the newer generation. I was not disappointed when I received my book "Taekwondo Black Belt Poomsae: Original Koryo and Koryo ", a great illustration of photos, form application and history of the poomsae. As head of a martial art organization here in Texas and a Sr. Master with United States Taekwondo Association under Grandmaster Chun I have implemented the form "Original Koryo in to our program for upper ranks. Our black belts of Pratt's Karate Club had a blast working on the applications featured in the book as well as develop of our own from the form. I very much enjoyed the entire book and appreciate the hard work, dedication and research by Grandmaster Richard Chun and Master Cook to preserve the art of Taekwondo. As a martial artist this is a wonderful addition to martial art library.
