THE AUTHOR
Keith D. Yates is a seventh degree black belt in Taekwon Do. He is well known in martial arts circles as a forms expert. Begining his martial arts training in 1965, Mr. Yates won numerous forms competitions during a ten year tournament career. An accomplished instructor, he initiated karate programs at Southern Methodist University and the Universtiy of Dallas. Mr. Yates has written scores of articles for the martial arts publications as well as several other books and was elected into the third edition of Whos Who in American Martial Arts. In 1975 he founded the Southwest Taekwon Do Association which teaches the Nam Seo Kwan (school of the Southwest) style. He did his masters thesis on the martial arts power of Ki. Mr. Yates is also an adjunct professor of Communications at SMU. He holds additional black belts in Ju Jitsu and Kobudo (weapons) and presently serves as chairman of the Texas Black Belt Commission.

PREFACE
Over the years students have repeatedly asked me for the name of a book that would contain all the Taekwon Do forms in an easy to read format. I have been able to give them several references that included one or two patterns in them but there seemed to be no complete volume of forms all the way to black belt. The problem arises from the fact that most authors try to get all the basic offensive and defensive techniques, combinations, counterattacks, self-defense moves, etc., etc., into one text and there is only room left over for a sample of a karate form. While I have included some of the basic blocks and kicks it is under the portion of requirements for orange (gold) belt.
Being especially interested in forms, having successfully competed in Kata competition over a number of years, I decided to undertake the task of compiling a complete forms manual. This is not another how-to book on karate for the interested non-student, but is, I hope, a valuable tool for the Taekwon Do student as he progresses through the ranks. Incidentally, the black belt instructor who hasnt practiced a certain form in a while is also going to find this text an indispensable reference. I trust that this book will embody the physical and mental discipline that comprises the true essence of the art.
