In a world where

commercialism prevails, the practice of
taekwondo is often misused as a vehicle for self-aggrandizement.
Mr. Cook, while maintaining a successful environment in his
school, has instead chosen to take the high road by providing his
students with a curriculum steeped in tradition. His work here
only serves to fortify his elevated approach to an art replete with
virtue and wisdom. It is my sincere hope that this volume will
act as a global reference guide for generations of taekwondo students
to embrace, now and in the future.
