"Great Updated Edition"
5 stars"

Review by Brendan on 11th August, 2016

Purchased on Mighty Ape

This has a further 22 pages on top of the stunning revelations and brutal honesty of the first edition. There are added chapters covering TKD in Russia and the legendary GM CK Choi. I bought it as soon as I possibly could.

Description

The eagerly anticipated updated return of a bestselling martial arts classic. A Killing Art: The Untold History of Tae Kwon Do takes you into the cults, geisha houses, and crime syndicates that made Tae Kwon Do. It shows how, in the end, a few key leaders kept the art clean and turned it into an empowering art for tens of millions of people in more than 150 countries. A Killing Art is part history and part biography - and a wild ride to enlightenment.

Author Biography:

Alex Gillis is a journalist and university writing instructor in Toronto. He has trained in various styles of Tae Kwon Do and other martial arts for approximately 35 years. He first heard the incredible tales of the art from one of his instructors and entered the back rooms and high-stakes world of Choi Hong-Hi, Kim Un-yong, and other Tae Kwon Do leaders to find the truth about their art.
