Master Richard Chun takes us on a first hand account of his life story and his dedication to the art of Taekwondo. We begin in Korea just before the Korean war and learn why Taekwondo is a noble and positive recreation for children, offering them challenges and lessons that they will reflect upon for their entire lives.

We follow as he takes Taekwondo to America not knowing how he and his art will be received. We see how Taekwondo plays a major role in this Grand Master's pursuit of a life in America and we cheer him on as he overcomes the difficulties a non-english speaking immigrant discovers in the USA. From celebrity students and their families (Donald Trump, Mayor Guliani, Gregory Hines) to everyday citizens, Master Richard Chun offers us the key to living a life of contribution to humanity through Taekwondo.

  • Deepen Your Understanding of Taekwondo Traditions.
  • Inspiration and Advice for a Lifetime of Practice.
  • For All Styles and All Levels of Experience.

The book itself proves to be an insightful and inspiring source for the new practitioner to Tae Kwon Do. I recommend this to anyone wanting to find out more on Traditional Tae Kwon Do.

5,0 su 5 stelle An inspirational story of indomitable martial artist spirit.

An autobiography of Grand Master Richard Chun, 9th dan Taekwondo. The book starts in Seoul Korea just after WWII and just before the Korean War. Richard Chun (Rhin Moon Chun) started his training at 11 yrs old under the infamous Master Chong Soo Hong (of Moo Duk Kwon style) to regain his recently lost position as daejang or "leader" of his group of friends after one of the boys challenged and beat him in a fight. Grand Master Chun goes on to explain how this obviously unhonorable reason to start Taekwondo led to him regaining the honor he lost and ultimately led to a life-long career in the martial arts where he had the honor of teaching thousands of black-belts and master black-belts, many of whom went on to start their own martial arts schools. His story exudes the indomitable martial artist spirit as he came to America with nothing more than the immigrant's dream in-hand, moved to New York city, worked hard and made those dreams come true. This is an inspiring story of how the martial arts not only helped Grand Master Chun in the dojang but also in his very successful careers as a businessman, entrepreneur, professor, and philanthropist.

5,0 su 5 stelle An introspective view on the shaping of a life
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 5 novembre 2009

Grand Master Chun reveals both his triumphs as well as his mistakes in the course of a life in the tumult of the Korean War and its aftermath and building a new life in the United States. Each section of his life and its chapter in this book lends itself to a gentle lesson on how we grow to become true adults- honoring our country, our parents and family, our friends and helping others. I was genuinely touched by the regrets he felt as a son and sibling, as well as his concerns over aging. I highly recommend Chapter 12 "The Way of the Warrior" for its analysis of overcoming fear. I purchased this book as I was preparing to take my black belt test- I thought it would help with theory. Instead I found a thoughtful discussion on how to deal with all of life's various "tests". I would be interested to read any other articles or books this author chose to write.

4,0 su 5 stelle A Grandmaster's Autobiography
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 29 ottobre 2012

I purchased this book based on Grandmaster Richard Chun's superb tome "Tae Kwon Do: The Korean Martial Art." Grandmaster Chun is often considered one of the 5 fathers of Tae Kwon Do in America, along with Ki Whang Kim, Son Duk Sung, Sijak Henry Cho, Jhoon Rhee. In my time with Tae Kwon Do, I have met and heard of many masters and instructors who are less than model martial artists. They have the skills but lack character. Perhaps character has been lost along with the art as the martial arts in America, indeed worldwide, has become increasingly focused on sport competition. I wondered: Were the original masters who brought Tae Kwon Do to America, Masters such as Richard Chun, any different?

Indeed, as portrayed in this autobiography, Grandmaster Chun demonstrates how the principles and spirit of the art of Tae Kwon Do has guided and influenced him in making decisions throughout his life. Tae Kwon Do, Grandmaster Chun shows, is not about learning to fight. In fact, Grandmaster Chun tells us on multiple occasions in this book that fighting is the last choice when all other choices have been exhausted. Although highly skilled in the art of kicking and striking, Grandmaster Chun confesses here that he has been involved in only one physical fight throughout his life, having chosen the wiser path when available.

This is a lesson Grandmaster Chun learned early as a student of Tae Kwon Do. He originally started to learn Tae Kwon Do so that he would be able to fight his friend, who had knocked him down after an argument about neighborhood leadership. He was angry about being knocked down. After studying Tae Kwon Do for a few months, the young man confronts his friend again, prepared to fight, only to learn that his friend originally struck him because he did not know what else to do. This was a wonder for the young martial arts student, and defined his study of Tae Kwon Do and indeed his character for the rest of his life.

Grandmaster Richard Chun's "Taekwondo Spirit & Practice: Beyond Self-Defense" is easy to read, clearly written, and sprinkled with nuggets of wisdom throughout. Grandmaster Chun is unpretentious, selfless and honest as he recounts his lifelong journey as a student of Tae Kwon Do. For me, this book clearly demonstrates what it means to be a Grandmaster in deed as well as title.

This is a classic must-own for any Taekwondo practitioner. But whether you are a martial artist or just an enthusiast this book by Grand Master Richard Chun is a must-have. It's not a how-to. Instead he tells it like it is. He uses his own life experiences to show the reader what he has learned through his practice of the martial arts. I love how he approached this book as a story, starting from when he was a child and leaving the reader all the more inspired by the time he reaches his later years.
