I studied TKD for several years and it is a great art. It doesn't deserve the bad rep some people are giving it. It is a very effective art and it has come in very handy a couple of times. Maybe its because too many schools emphasize too much on competition and getting trophys. Which is fine for them if thats what they want. But the art was a life saver to me twice. So to me just ignore the people that say its ineffective and just just enjoy it.

Thank you for the great suggestions. I have already placed an order for those books. Im really looking forward to reading them. And thank you again for the words of encouragement!!

First I want to say I really enjoy reading these forums. There are a lot of really well informed and open minded people here. I was in a TKD class for several years,having earned a Black Belt. But when my fiancee at the time was killed by a Drunk Driver I walked away from it and pretty much everything else. It has been quite a few years since I have been to a class but very shortly I plan on returning to a Martial Arts class. I have studied all of the classes in my area and have decided on an Aikido class. It seems to fit me where I am in my life. I was wondering if you could recommend some Books and videos that would be helpful as a supplement to training and as General knowledge. Kolchakfan TKD
