Title: Taekwondo is NOT martial arts
Review: Would you buy this book if the title was "The bare essentials guide for taekwondo injuries?". That's exactly what is it. The advise is exclusively for injuries from taekwondo - predominately impact injuries from sparring. The author says absolutely nothing about any other martial art including the grappling arts of judo, jujutsu, submission wrestling and NHB. Thus there are an entire class of injuries that are not addressed by this book. Indeed, the chapter on taping techniques is limited to feet, ankles, hands and wrists, namely the joints most affected by point sparring. Moreover, the chapters on strength and conditioning and care of injuries are perfunctory and leave the reader wanting more detailed information...
