A Killing Art: The Untold History of Tae Kwon Do is a revealing look at the origins and evolution of this popular martial art. Since its inception in the Korean military 60 years ago, Tae Kwon Do has been shrouded in controversy, with its leaders often hiding the dark truths behind its empowerment. This updated edition of the book delves into the cults, geisha houses, and crime syndicates that made Tae Kwon Do, and explores how a few key leaders kept the art clean and turned it into an empowering force for millions of people worldwide. The book is part history and part biography, offering a wild ride to enlightenment. With previously unnamed sources and updated chapters, A Killing Art provides a fresh perspective on the world of Tae Kwon Do.
