Dr. He-Young Kimm

Does anyone know if and when Dr. Kimm's book on the history of Korean martial arts is coming out? I have heard that he's been researching and writing it for about 10 years. Any info would be appreciated.

What's the title of the book?

 

[jkn75]

The working title is something complex like "History of Korean Martial Arts". I don't know if it's going to keep that title. Other than that, I know little about it. :asian:

Here is a transcrpt of an email and response I got when I sent an email to the Han Mu Do website.

My Letter

Dear Sir,

The new website looks fantastic. I was curious if you were going to be
selling
books on the website (Philosophy of Masters, etc). Also, a few years
ago, I
read that Dr. Kimm was working on a comprehensive history of Korean
Martial
Arts. Is he still working on it and when may it be available? Thank
You.

Response

Sir,
Thank you for your kind words on our new web site. We hope to make
improvements
and keep it fresh. We welcome all suggestions.

Dr. Kimm's bools are still available, as a matter of fact they are in
great
demand. I personally believe that Philosphy of the Masters is one of
his best
works. All of his books will be listed on the site in the near future
but for
now they are only available from the Headquarters school in Baton
Rouge. You
can call Mrs. Kimm at 225-924-2837 and she will take care of your
request.

The new book is still in the translating stage, all of the information
has been
collected. It will probably be another 2 years before it is avaialable.

Thank you

So, in a couple years we can look forward to this book. I can't wait.
