More than 5 000 photographs and 1 200 drawings spanning 512 pages document 25 individual forms that make up the Palgwae  Taeguk  and WTF Black Belt forms systems.  Detailed introductory chapters provide a brief overview of Taekwondos structure  review the historical origins of forms  outline general principles of execution and interpretation  and thoroughly describe the underlying philosophical concepts and meanings associated with each individual form and form system. In subsequent chapters  each of the 25 forms begins with summary pages for quick reference  followed by a detailed breakdown of each movement  which includes larger photos  descriptive text  alternate views  closeups of complex actions  Korean nomenclature  precise footwork drawings  pattern diagrams on every page for constant reference  and examples of select movements applied to practical self-defense. Since forms training is intended to be a reflection of actual combat  descriptive text also outlines the combative purpose behind each movement  as well as common alternate interpretations.  While many books on forms have been produced over the years  none offer the level of detail  accuracy  and technical description provided by this text.
