Taekwondo Poomse Forms

Only down point is that they do not show how to make the moves, only how to end them, but when used with a regular Dojang training that book sums it all and is now my Bible for the poomsaes which I will use more often in the Dojang when lower ranked belts are asking about some poomsaes I'm not sure about a certain move;) It also makes me want to includes the traditionnal Palgwe poomsae in our Dojang program since we only do the officials WTF Taegeuk Poomsae and the black belts poomsae at ours. Truly a must have.
