Ch'ang Hon Taekwon-do Hae Sul - Real Applications to the ITF Patterns: Vol 2

"... the art merely became like a domesticated wild cat, content to sleep whilst still retaining a savagery at its heart enabling it to bare its teeth when required." - John Dowding, 4th degree Ch'ang Hon Taekwon-do Hae Sul: Real Applications To The ITF Patterns, Vol. 2 continues where the ground breaking Vol. 1 left off. In Vol. 2 the senior patterns of the Ch'ang Hon System up to 2nd Dan, have gone through the same in-depth analysis as the lower grade patterns originally did, with each one having been examined, dissected and rebuilt to help the student of Taekwon-do to understand what is really contained within the patterns we practice in Taekwon-do. Patterns Hwa-Rang, Choong-Moo, Kwang-Gae, Po-Eun, Ge-Baek, Eui-Am, Choong-Jang, Ko-Dang and Juche have been examined in-depth to find more realistic applications for their movements - based upon what the author refers to as their 'DNA'. In this volume, even the ready postures and stances have been examined and the results are documented in step by step photographic detail, using over 2,200 photographs. Comprising over 350 pages, this book not only shows more realistic applications to the Red Belt, 1st Dan and 2nd Dan patterns, but also explains how it is possible to achieve these applications in the first place, why General Choi, Hong Hi, the founder of Ch'ang Hon Taekwon-do couldn't make the same conclusions, as well as expelling a falsehood that has been with Taekwon-Do since its inception! After reading this book, the patterns of Taekwon-do no longer seem just a collection of movements, performed in a dance-like fashion for competitions or gradings, but become realistic techniques that can actually be utilised as real world self defence applications - making this a must-read companion to Vol. 1, for all students who study and practice Taekwon-do.

A good read. Very good content but layout needs improving. Photos are grainy but perhaps that's my copy.
you really do start picking up some great techniques that suddenly make an awful lot of sense ... There's an awful lot of text leading up to the main reason that you'd buy this book, but once you've got past it, you really do start picking up some great techniques that suddenly make an awful lot of sense when you perform them in your Tuls. Of the techniques I've learnt so far, some are ridiculously easy, and it astounds me how I've never been taught this before! Anyway, all that text leading up to the techniques isn't pointless; some of it is info that you could well skip over, but within that info are some real gems of knowledge that you will find useful to know as you move through the book/s. I bought both books and highly recommend them. If you can, get to one of Stuart's seminars as well... seriously impressive stuff!
Food for thought - part 2 In book 1 Mr. Anslow delved deep into the history of the patterns to find the original ideas for the movements, his results are continued here with the second volume covering Hwa-Rang to Juche. I am a TKD black belt with grappling history and personally love to see just how much up close grappling type movements are contained in our "traditionally" Punching and Kicking art. I find that whilst you may not agree with all of the applications for practical use it does make you consider the movements differently giving context to some otherwise odd movements. As Mr. Anslow doesn't seem to do things by halves we again get extensive histories and research which provides a fascinating insight. You cannot fail to both learn from these books and I recommend anybody who wants to look past the basic versions of Taekwon-Do often presented should pick these up.
A Really, Really Good Book As a comment, it's not very martial, nor very subjective, but that's what it is. The book continues on from Volume 1 and takes the student up to Ko-Dang, Eui-Am, Choong-Jang and Juche. At this level, all the students studying these patterns can utilise the applications shown and should be able to incorporate their own. The format of the book is very similar to Volume 1, with pattern meanings and the enhanced version, a detailed photographic diagram of the pattern and then the applications. Each pattern has a chapter to itself. With the increased number of moves involved in these patterns the background to these works has been omitted as this is already in Volume 1. Nearly everything in this book is on the practical side and doesn't suffer from any repetition. I personally like to use the books in conjunction with Mr Anslow's encyclopaedia when learning a pattern. It gives 2 different perspectives. The book is well laid out, with very clear illustrations and photographs at every stage. It's probably best if you buy Volume 1 first, but it doesn't really matter. This book stands completely on its own. This is probably Mr Anslow's best work. It's worth a place in any dojang. Use it as a guide and try incorporate it within training sessions and challenge the higher belts to find their own applications. It's also a topic that should be included in all Dan gradings. Most instructors these days seem to want to incorporate something different, usually from another martial art into the training to keep it interesting. Why not use this book to add depth rather than breadth to the syllabus.
For professionals and very determined readers Detailed and extensive but black and white and makes for a difficult read. Not something an 11 year old (or even a 40 year old) would open and read through easily or with great pleasure.
