Due to the lack of established taekwondo pedagogy terms, taekwondo teaching in this book will be explained by combining the familiar concepts used in the field of taekwondo school with sports pedagogy terms. For example, taekwondo instruction is used in a similar sense to taekwondo teaching, a taekwondo instructor to a taekwondo teacher, and taekwondo training to taekwondo learning.
This text consists of three parts. Part 1 discusses what purpose or objective taekwondo education should pursue, Part 2 explores how to create a productive learning environment and how to discipline students, and Part 3 presents how to deliver learning tasks and teach them effectively.

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.

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.
