[Bret Hinds]

sorry for not posting, I have not had any power or internet due to ice storms. so it has gave me time to read candle light is great! I read the TAE KWON DO SECRETS OF KOREAN KARATE by Sihak Henry Cho, it was a great read. And several other great martial art books , If one was to make a list of books what would you put on your list? ALL THE BEST IN THE ARTS

I have that book as well and found it a good read. I am also patial to Doug Cook's books (both of 'em). Good stuff.

Is the Encyclopedia a worthwhile read for folks who practice WTF TDK? I haven't yet read the book, but do want to. I would assume that, other than the forms, much of what General Choi wrote could be used across the board. I'd like to get your thoughts.

By the way Bret...welcome back! Those were some nasty storms. I hope you and yours made it through okay.

There are 2 books that I want to read (when I have free time). One is the biography of Jean Yves Theriault (from whence my "Iceman" ring name comes) & the other is on Breaking by Maurice Elmalem. I saw him on the ABC sports special "The Oriental World of Self-Defense" a few years ago. I'm interested in his views on the subject.

A couple good reads I've enjoyed are; "Zen in the Martial Arts" and "The way of the Warior" (not sure of that title but it was written by Forrest Morgan, I'm sure someone here will recognise it.) Both very good reads. The Art of War is a good too.

I like reading books about Aikido and right now I'm reading "Aikido in Daily Life by Koichi Tohei. Not bad so far other than grammer errors.

... and "The way of the Warior" (not sure of that title but it was written by Forrest Morgan, I'm sure someone here will recognise it.)...

I believe it is called "Living the Martial Way"

Some of my favorite MA non-technical books:

"Moving Zen" by CW Nicol
"Karate-Do, My Way of Life" by Funakoshi, Gichin
"Okinawan Karate" by Mark Bishop
"Filipino Martial Culture" by Mark Wiley

I have a lot of favorite technical books.

I've browsed through that book. It has just about everything and a lot of good self defense information.
