Daedalus Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 "The Encyclopedia of Tae Kwond Do" 15 volume edition [pre 1988 edition] by Gen. Choi Hong HiI'm curious to know what version of Tae Kwon Do's history these volumes subscribe to. The hundreds of years old version or the less then 60 years old version? Peace and may God be with you...Deus Ex Remake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why_Worry Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Two books that i would say are very very good books, are "The weaponless warrior" by richard kim which i just basically a lot of cool storie sof okinawan masters and the book zen in the martial arts which is just a more peaceful book kinda. But its kinda boring if you dont like that, but the weaponless warrior is deffinately a very godo and interesting book. Focus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nurvingiel Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I'd like to second Karate-addict's suggestion of Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa. This is a biography of Musashi's life up until he was about 30. I found it incredibly inspiring and it had many useful insights into martial arts. Kata is like a good stir-fry: preparation and timing are everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
