"Fighting Power"--- Loren Christensen
A best-selling source for developing MA power by a master who has 30-plus years of real street fighting experience.
"Zanshin"---Vince Morris
Good starting-point introduction to meditation by a British karate champion. The first meditation book I ever purchased.
"Buddhism, Plain and Simple"---Steve Hagen
Simplified way to better understand a beautiful philosophy and religion. Easy to read without complicated jargon and terminology.
"Karate-Do Foundations"---Sensei Mark Moeller
A complete white belt level introduction to Okinawan karate-do technique, principles, and history.
Respectfully,
Sohan

I just joined so I am not sure if this book has been mentioned.
Tang Soo Do (The Ulimate Guide to the Korean Martial Art)
Written by Grand Master Kang Uk Lee |
I own a copy of Authentic Tang Soo Do, by Chun Sik Kim and Joe Goss.
What do you suppose the differences are? Can you tell me if these names are familiar to you. This book is well put together, and a great read.

For me one of the most helpful books in my MA training has been the Bible. Even though it does not relate to karate so to say, but it has helped to engrave the morals and values which makes me who I am. It is my opinion that to become a true Martial Artist one must possess knowledge, control, and confidence with not only ones physical skills, but also within an inner peace of the mind and soul. I do not wish to preach christianity to anyone. What I will reccommend to anyone of any faith to use the teachings in whatever spirtual literature of your religion to help enhance yourself to become not just some one who practices Martial Arts but to become a Martial Artist.
Heather

I'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? |
Gen. Choi describes in these volumes how he came up with his style, called Taekwondo, and does not elaborate on ancient styles.
He did claim that he had learned some Taek-yon, and had trained in Karate.
