I just bought the 2006 edition of the Kukkiwon textbook. I was surprised to find out that Sang Moo Sa (where I got it) also had copies of all the previous editions as well. I would have bought others but couldn't have justified the expense.
I've heard that the 2006 edition is an attempt to regain the "old school" Taekwondo of the 1975 edition. I do find it funny that they consider any technique used in any TKD form (including 8th Dan Han Soo & 9th Dan Il Yeo) to be "Basic techniques."
Can anyone compare the 2006 edition & older versions to say how it is more like "old school" TKD or at least older editions of the textbook? Or, if it's not, I'd be curious about that too.
