Scott Shaw Books on the Martial Arts

Scott Shaw is an American martial artist, author, and filmmaker, known for his contributions to Hapkido and Taekwondo. Shaw embarked on his martial arts journey at the age of six, beginning with Hapkido. By eleven, he had earned his black belt in Hapkido and later achieved black belts in Taekwondo and Kumdo.
 
In 1987, Shaw became the first non-Korean to be awarded a 7th-degree black belt in Moo Duk Kwan Taekwondo. The following year he earned a 7th-degree black belt in Kumdo. In 1996 he was promoted to a 7th-degree black belt by the Korea Hapkido Federation, becoming the first non-Korean to receive this honor. He has since been promoted to 8th-degree black belts in both Hapkido and Taekwondo. He also holds a 7th-degree black belt in Aikijutsu.
 
Shaw's martial arts expertise is complemented by his deep engagement with Eastern philosophy. This spiritual foundation has influenced his approach to martial arts, emphasizing the integration of physical technique with inner energy and consciousness.

Scott Shaw has authored a large number of articles and numerous books on the martial arts. Several of these titles have been translated into various languages and published by respected publishers across the world.
