Jennifer Lawler earned her black belt in Tae Kwon Do in 1994, much to the astonishment of friends and family who thought she would be a couch potato for the rest of her life. She has been kicking, punching, throwing and grappling ever since, gaining experience in arts such as Escrima, Hapkido, and Aikijutsu. She has taught Tae Kwon Do and self-defense for many years.
Lawler earned a Ph.D. in English (medieval literature) from the University of Kansas and taught college literature and writing classes for six years before becoming a full-time writer.
She has written more than 15 books, many of them about the martial arts, including The Martial Arts Encyclopedia, Secrets of Tae Kwon Do, and Martial Arts for Women.
She lives outside of Kansas City with her daughter, who kicks and punches on her own heavy bag right beside her mothers.
As always, this is for my daughter Jessica, the lion-hearted.
Many thanks to Debz Buller, for organizing the photo shoot and for supplying much-needed equipment, supplies and models, and for making sure the shoot ran smoothly.
Thanks also to Golds Gym in Merriam, Kansas; and to Four Eras Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do, Independence, Missouri, for letting me shoot photos on site.
Much appreciation to the models, all of them terrific martial artists: Robin W. Bailey, Ronnie Williams, Jr., Isabel Hernandez, Mark Samuel, Gerald M. Allen, Shari Elliott, Juan Fernandez, Nabil Cherif, Jonathan P. Merz, Kelly Miller, Bryan Stevenson, Jeffrey Holmes, Christopher Kuhl, Debz Buller, Krista McGowan, Chantal Anderson, Stephen Diamond, Sr., Dave Buller, Cody Szuwalski, and John Hileman.
Special thanks to Nabil Cherif, John Hileman, and Bryan Stevenson for sharing their extensive knowledge of and expertise in the martial arts with me.
In addition, I have to express my gratitude to my agent, Carol Susan Roth, whose perfectly timed arrival in my life epitomizes the old martial arts saying, When the student is ready, the master appears. She has done more for my writing career in six months as my agent than I managed in the previous six years.
To the staff at Wiley, including Tracy Boggier and Sherri Fugit, for making this a much better book than I could have done on my own.
Finally, no martial arts book of mine would be complete without honoring Masters Donald and Susan Booth, who taught me my very first sidekick all those years ago, and Grandmaster Woo Jin Jung, who has inspired countless martial artists in the last three decades.
Pilsung!
Jennifer Lawler
