This book is not a textbook on martial arts. Most Korean pioneers of martial arts faced many difficulties and uncertainties in the first years of their professional lives, primarily because there were no set methods of managing a dojang, and there was no general agreement on curricula. It is Jung's hope that this book will provide a concise self-study course for the reader to learn management skills and strategies specific to martial arts training and teaching.
Jung has included many anecdotes from his real-life experiences. In addition, he defines specific strategies and management guidelines for instructors on the front line of martial arts, as well as for their students and potential students.
