- When I first started reading this group a couple of months ago, I
- posted a similar request, which went totally un-responded to. I am
- hoping that either I or my system screwed up the post somehow, and
- that I did not break some newsgroup rule and offend the entire lot
- of you! :-)
-
- Are there any difinitive books available on Tae Kwon Do which focus
- on it's many forms? I have only one book, by Richard Chun, which
- shows Pal Gwe (sp?) 1 - 8. Our school also basis it's belt tests
- on Temple 1 - 7 (or 8) and White Tiger 1 - 50. Other forms I have
- seen during my study here (all of 3 1/2 months) are Dragon's Claw,
- Kam Sang (sp?), and Teung Sung (sp?). The last one supposedly being
- one of the original forms of early Tae Kwon Do. We also have learned
- 3 or 4 variations on something called the 8-Point Star.
-
- My jobs and family life do not allow me to 'live' at the school and
- I can 'only' get to 3, maybe 4 classes a week. Many times the forms
- are practiced as part of one or two classes, but the rest is up to
- you! Maybe it's me, but I can't always remember bits and pieces as
- I attempt to practice at home and a book which concentrates on the
- forms and not-so-much on the block/kick/punch/stance stuff would be
- great. I would appreciate info on any books that would fit in to
- this category. Post or e-mail, either way is fine with me.
