4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction to Hapkido, 29 Oct 1998

By A Customer

This book provides a sufficiently detailed history of Hapkido without going over the top. It then introduces some basic techniques with fairly clear photographs. The text describing the techniques could be clearer, but its quite possible to learn them from the book, and thats what matters. As an introduction to Hapkido, this book is great. I'd have preferred a few more advanced techniques myself but that is beyond the scope of this I guess. Definitely the best all-round book on Hapkido around. I'm just waiting for the sequel!

4.0 out of 5 stars Hapkido: Korean Art of Self Defense, 22 Aug 2005

By	W. Baker "Professional Slacker" (Dorset, Angleterre) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book on a whole I believe is better utilised on its own, rather than as an accompaniment to practicing Hapkido in lesson form.

The book only covers techniques used to defend against, and to halt attacks on yourself, and does not describe any offensive techniques, such as Hapkido's kicks and punches. Which some may see as a disadvantage.

The introductory section giving a brief history of the development of Hapkido and its links to Taekwondo and Aikido, and is enough to satiate a practitioner who wants to know about his art. But by no means is it everything there is to learn.

The pictures, though informative, sometimes miss out some details of technique execution, which can cause some trouble when you come to learn from the book.

That said, it is still very possible to learn the techniques in the book, even if it means that they are only for a heads up on the street, not for a life long pursuit.
