This is a request for you to take part in Totally Tae Kwon Do Magazine's "Mosted Rated TKD Books Survey 2011".
We ran the survey in 2009, so thought it would be good to run it again, with the new books that have been released.
The idea behind the survey is to 'rate' books based on their content, so a Top 20 can be shown with the books that Tae Kwon Do students feel worthwhile, as opposed to how Amazon lists them by sales (as book prices enhance sales). In this survey, you simply judge the book by its content only and do not have to evaluate price Vs content!

Some Notes On The Survey
-The survey is split into 3 main sections - KKW/WTF books, Ch'ang Hon/ITF books and books that are TKD based but don't really fit into either category.
- You can complete all 3 sections of the survey, or you can by-pass the books you maybe don't have due to your style, however, all are asked to complete the final section (Other books).
- The survey will take you between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on how long you take mulling over your answers
- You do not have to complete the survey in one go, but can do a bit then come back later and finish it off - be sure to click the 'next' button before going, so your answers (so far) are saved, otherwise you will have to redo them.
- All questions need to be answered - if you do not own a book, simply select the 'Don't Own' box.
- Each book has a choice of 5 answers - from Excellent to Poor (plus the Don't Own option)
- Most blocks of questions are 'randomized' for each survey respondant, meaning no books get the 'top slot' in each section making it as far as possible.
- The survey is anonymous - meaning your information & answers are not shared. However, please be aware that it does request some details, such as your name & your instructors name but this is simply to make sure the survey is fair and as an effort to stop any cheating.
- Please use your real name - fake names or 'tags' or anything else will mean your answers will be deleted and will not form part of the survey as they cannot be verfied.
- The survey asks for your style, continent and country - this may be used at a later stage to see which books are most popular in certain countries, though it will not form part of the main survey at present.
The survey will run for a month or so, so please pass this email onto your TKD friends etc.
Many thanks for getting involved. Please click the link above to begin the survey.
