Synopsis & Historical Value
Green Belt to Red Belt is the second volume of the official training manual of the Tae Kwon-do Association of Great Britain, produced by the Association's senior instructors and published in London by A & C Black in 1997. It follows White Belt to Yellow Belt and precedes The Black Belt Syllabus.
The book covers the intermediate and advanced grades of the TAGB syllabus, from Green Belt through Blue Belt to Red Belt (6th to 1st kup). It sets out grading requirements, sparring, destruction and the step-by-step patterns, each illustrated with a wealth of black and white photographs, and is designed to prepare the student for Black Belt.
The TAGB was formed in 1983 by senior instructors, and this manual records the syllabus as taught within the Association in the late 1990s. It is a useful reference for martial arts practitioners and for collectors of martial arts literature and British tae kwon-do history.
