Choi's biography I have heard that there is a three volume biography of Gen. Choi in the works. Does anyone know how to get a copy? I belive it has just been, or is in the process of being translated from Korean. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Do I work on timing and if so, timing of what skills in particular? Do I work on endurance and if so, what areas will I target for punishment today? Do I study forms, which forms? It used to be so easy to chose when I knew nothing! ;} So, now I find myself trying to play catch up as I go through the week. My instructors have a good system for drilling everything but I'm one of those people who needs more practice time and since I moved, I no longer have the space to practice on my own. All of this brings me to my questions. Do any of you find that some skills are harder to maintain than others? For example do certain techiniques fade from memory while others stay sharp? Do you lose the basics but not the advanced skills, vice versa or a mix? Is there one skill that even with drilling every day you just can't keep sharp? Does anyone know why?
