If you buy this book...you'll fullfill the above colloquialism. This work had potential...but the material is often repeated from one chapter to the next and discrepancies do occur. It leaves a person feeling cheated. Some information is just plain wrong. Mr. Losik also refuses to list any sources for his information or identify facts from speculation. The plagarism of website sources is blatantly apparant.
I recommend you hang on to your hard earned cash.
Today, I am an author and a book seller. My objective is to sell books. If I inform the martial arts community of my sources I use for any of the information I publish, then there will be far fewer of my books sold. That is the reason I do not give out my sources, it's bad for business.
I have never claimed to be an expert. In each of my books I put a disclaimer that I am not an expert just someone sharing his experience in research and his training.
If other people believe that they can be academic about Korean martial arts then they should persue their belief, I do not share in that belief at this time.
