Thick face, Black heart:

I just finished reading a book called Thick face, Black heart, by Chin Ning-chu that was recommended by one of my mentor’s, the Marketing Guru Dan Kennedy. The book which was published in 1992 is a business book of sorts, that paraphrases an ancient and un-translated Chinese work Thick Black Theory by Lee-Zhong Chang. This book should be part of every Taekwondo practitioner's essential library with The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi and Sun Tzu’s Art of War.

What is so intriguing to me is that the concepts of Thick Face and Black Heart are very similar to the Taekwondo Jidokwan concepts of NO CHOICE, NO CHANCE (more about NO CHOICE, NO CHANCE later). Having a Thick Face is about protecting yourself from others both physically and most importantly spiritually and emotionally.

“Thick Face is the shield:” Ms. Chu uses Abraham Lincoln as an example of Thick Face . . . .
