Beskrivning
Considering martial arts for self-improvement or self-defense? Make sure you don't join a cult.
True accounts of earning a black belt in one of the most notorious martial art cults in the U.S. from beginning as a white belt, progressing through the ranks until reaching instructor. Joe Smith describes what it was like to train, earn rank and finally leave organizations known as Chung Moo Quan (later Chung Moo Doe and now called Oom Yung Doe).
Through additional observations of friends and colleagues over the years, Joe provides accounts of the training methods, practices and forms as well as the cult dogma; and reveals the cult has continued to evolve post federal investigations even with the departure of the most trusted members. Plus tales of wacky adventures for those thinking of earning a real black belt in a "royal style."
