Keep a copy of Gray's Anatomy around.  The textbook, not the show.  Whole book is online now I think.  It's nice to know exactly what you're trying to hit.

[quote="narcsarge"]I at work right now but I'd have to dig it out of my closet.  I read it years ago.  It was written by one of the first Western Men to be trained by Eastern Monks in Archery.  It is fascinating to read about the bow, the pull of the bow, the arrow, and all that "becoming one with..."  Great read:


The cover has changed since I bought it but you can read about here:

Wow, there are so many good books that I am not sure where to begin!  I will have to look when I am at home this weekend and see which books I would recommend to you!  I am not good about remembering titles and authors but I know that I read one from Superfoot that I really liked.  It had a lot of good information about defending and counter-attacking.  I really enjoyed it!


What style of TKD have you been doing?  There are some fantastic TKD books out there, but a lot are specific to one style or another.  Most of the info will cross over, but anything regarding poomsae and tournament rules will be style specific.  I just picked up a book, Taekwondo state of the art by Masters Sung Chul Whang and Jun Chul Whang.  It has tons of great general tkd info as well as WTF/KKW tkd info.  The Taeguk 1-8 are illustrated and described fantastically!

I also have this book it is great, if you liked that one have you read official taekwondo by Soon man Lee and Gaetane Ricke?? also good and they have all the taeguk forms and palgwe forms in it. we do palgwe forms in my school as high belt forms. this book was really helpful to me. Also another good book, my favorite actually is The Ultimate reference guide to taekwondo by Yeon Hee Park, Yeon Hwan Park and Jon Gerrard. this book is the basis of what my dojang teaches, Yeon Hwan Park is also our grandmaster and my masters cousin, he was here for black belt testing in may and i got my book signed. what an honor, i wish i would have gotten my pic w/him!!!!

Books I like

The Complete Tae Kwon Do Hyung Vol 1-3 by Grandmaster Hee Il Cho

Dynamic Strength By Harry Wong

Dragons Touch by Master Hei Long(Not really TKD but good Self-defense)

Freestyle Sparrinig by Grand Master Woo Jin Jung  (my Grandmaster) and Jennifer Lawler

Grappling Masters:Combat for Street Defense and Competition by Gene LeBell(another good self-defense book) 

Does anyone know of a good book on Palgwes? I study both ITF and WTF and Cho's books are good for ITFs but I haven't seen much on WTF.
