[추천글] As one of the taekwondo teachers, I sincerely welcome Professor Son’s ‘Teaching Taekwondo: Theory and Practice,’ and express deep sympathy for clearly suggesting the direction that future taekwondo should pursue through a keen analysis of the taekwondo education field. Professor Son’s experiences in sports education and his dedication to taekwondo teacher education are combined with his love for taekwondo, presenting practically the essential elements of taekwondo education. I am sure that this book will be of great help in understanding the direction that taekwondo education should take, understanding taekwondo students theoretically, and then developing instructional competence and quality necessary to teach effectively. I hope that teaekwondo teachers in the field read this book and teach students with a clearer sense of purpose and logic of educational methods to increase the social role of the taekwondo school. - Grand Master Sun-Ki Chong, World Class Taekwondo School - Taekwondo aims for holistic education equipped with not only skills, but also knowledge and character. This book will give in-service taekwondo teachers an opportunity to self-check their teaching abilities, and will help prospective taekwondo teachers understand the qualities and competences they should have as taekwondo teachers. In particular, it explains in detail how to create a safe and productive learning environment, how to discipline students, and how to communicate with students. I hope that the taekwondo teachers who read this book will be able to self-check and strengthen their own teaching skills so that they can be reborn as more competent, knowledgeable and passionate taekwondo teachers. - Master Jeong-Ho Park, Kyunghee University Narae Taekwondo School -
