It is the mission of Old School Perspectives to bring to the Taekwondo world the lost practices and hidden applications of the TKD Patterns.  

 

We believe that by rediscovering the 'Old School' methods we can keep Tae Kwon Do relevant for the self defence needs of the 21st century.

Should be REQUIRED reading
 
for all Ch’ang Hon black belts from 9th dan down. Kudos to Mr. McDonald for exposing the short comings of “our” art.
