This 3-volume set is the only series of books in the world to feature all of the 25 patterns created by General Choi and his Taekwon-Do pioneers (including both Juche and Ko-Dang), as well as all 3 Saju exercises, the 6 Global Taekwon-Do Federation patterns developed by Grandmaster Park, Jung Tae and the Silla Knife Pattern instituted by Grandmaster Kim, Bok Man.

Displayed in full step-by-step photographic detail, which displays not just the final move but the 'in-between' motions as well making each book ideal to learn or revise your patterns, no matter which organisation you belong to. Volume 1 takes the student of Taekwon-Do on his or her journey from 10th Kup White Belt through to 1st Degree Black Belt and also includes the first of the Black Belt patterns and also includes "The True and More Complete History of Taekwon-Do" No matter which Taekwon-Do organisation you belong to, the Encyclopedia Of Taekwon-Do Patterns covers all you need to know to take you from White Belt to Taekwon-Do Master. Review: A Must-Have Resource - I can't say enough goood things about this book or the other two volumes in the set. Like all of Stuart Anslow's work, I have been recommending it to others and have been giving it away as gifts to friends. Yes, there are other resources on the Internet that list the sequence of techniques for any given pattern and show some pictures but, in my opinion, this book offers the most complete explanations. Anslow provides both the English and Korean names, a picture of each technique, foot diagrams, textual explaination of what needs to be done as well as special notes about differences between the ITF, WTF, and other organizations. The foot diagrams are especially noteworthy as they clearly show you what the stances should be at the start and at the end of any given move. That alone makes this a superior instructional resources. The movements between stances is well documented and at the bottom of each page is a series of photographs that illustrate how you should look as the move is being executed. At the end of the discussion for each pattern is a series of tips on how to learn and execute the pattern which really are helpful. The introductory chapters on the history of Taekwon-do, how techniques differ between Taekwon-do organizations, and Standards for Pattern Performnace should not be skipped. Likelwise, the appendices provide useful information, such as on pattern speeds and sine wave movement. This book greatly helped improve my performance with patterns. Review: Informative - It is exactly as described. Includes pictures and explanations of forms. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #278,786 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #144 in Sports Encyclopedias #526 in Martial Arts (Books) #2,921 in Exercise & Fitness (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 197 Reviews | ## Images ![The Encyclopedia of Taekwon-Do Patterns, Vol. 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nag7LKkcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must-Have Resource *by J***I on February 7, 2012* I can't say enough goood things about this book or the other two volumes in the set.

Includes pictures and explanations of forms. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic knowledge required *by A***N on December 10, 2018* Fantastic book! FYI if you are not trained in at least the basic foundations this book will make no sense to you. For me it is hard to follow. This book should emphasize more on facing and technique, instead it gives you the directions like counter clockwise and forward or backward. These are relative terms, if you are in the beginning stance incorrectly the entire routine will be wrong. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Encyclopedia of Taekwon-Do Patterns, Vol 1 - The Encyclopedia of Taekwon-Do Patterns, Vol 2 - The Encyclopedia of Taekwon-Do Patterns, Vol 3 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/8378329-the-encyclopedia-of-taekwon-do-patterns-vol-1](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/8378329-the-encyclopedia-of-taekwon-do-patterns-vol-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
