Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone here could recommend any good TSD books that deals with forms above 1st Dan.

I've got a few, including:

Complete Tang Soo Do Manual: From White Belt to Black Belt, Vol. 1
The Lost Forms of Tang Soo Do: Hidden Treasures of the Korean Martial Arts

However there seems to be a gap between the 1st book and the 2nd book, when it comes to forms (the other TSD books that I have do not deal with forms). I've looked into getting the following book:

Complete Tang Soo Do Manual: From 2nd Dan to 6th Dan v. 2

However the prices for that book is anywhere from £860 to £1,965.00 ($1416 to $3236) which is way out of my price range (no matter how much I'd like that book).

So does anyone know of or can recommend another book that caters for the forms of 2nd Dan and above?

Thanks

-Ken

Yeah, the price is crazy, even more, it's for a book!! I hope you find what you're looking for.

I'm not sure, but doesn't Panther have what you're looking for.

Didn't find anything at Panther.

However, I did find these...

http://www.amazon.com/Tang-Soo-Do-Forms-Volume/dp/B0006N5JJS/ref=pd_sim_b_2

AND...

http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Tang-Soo-Master-Manual/dp/0971860912/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt

Prices look more affordable!! Hopefully, these are what you're looking for.

Thanks, I would have preferred the Complete TSD Master Manual and while a lot more affordable than the links I found, is still a bit on the pricey side

However the Tang Soo Do Forms Volume 2: Black Belt DVD, if I can find a PAL version of it (as I'm in the UK), that may be a better alternative for me.

Thanks again

The only Tang Soo Do book I have is called Authentic Tang Soo Do, by Chun Sik Kim and Joe Goss. Its a bit pricy, but a nice book.

Thanks guys

I've now come across this book: Tang Soo Do: The Ultimate Guide to the Korean Martial Art

It's a bit more within my price range and covers the forms that I need for the next step...
