The stories of the people and events represented by Taekwon-Do’s 24 patterns.

Preliminary cover concept for the book project
Narrative approach
From pattern to people and history.
The book is intended to give readers more than names and dates. Each chapter explores the connection between a pattern and the people and events to which it points.
01
The people
The individuals behind the names are given a clearer place in the narrative.
02
The events
Historical context makes the background easier to understand and remember.
03
The legacy
The stories are connected back to Taekwon-Do and why they are still told.
Status
A book being built one story at a time.
