2.0 out of 5 stars A very weak hapkido text., 2 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I was very dissapointed with this book. There are very few good books on the art of Hapkido, and this is really not one of those. The History, theory, and philosphy is adequate for a novice, but offer little to anyone who knows even a little bit about hapkido . Also the pictures were very poor quality. The techniques demonstrated also seemed very sloppy, and in my eyes lend very little credability to the author. I think he should have taken a little more time and care in putting this book together.

2.0 out of 5 stars reader from Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, 22 May 1999
By A Customer
Regarding the reviewer from Tennessee, having read the above title, I agree with him that Mr. Spear's book seems a little shallow, esp. the red/black belt section. However, it should be pointed out that Mr. Spear claims in his book he earned his black-belt in Korea. Apparently, in Korea, many Hapkido dojangs have more simple ranking systems than in North America (which often feature the colours of the rainbow). It is likely Mr. Spear came from such a system where there are only four belts colours, consistent with the colours of the Korean Flag; white, blue, red and black. In such a system, a person would reach 1st degree black after only one year of training. However, in that system (or any system) a 1st degree blackbelt in Hapkido is not usually an expert, anyhow. Usually, a 3rd or 4th dan is considered "respectable."

2.0 out of 5 stars Simple overview with poor photography/illustrations, 11 Jun 1998
By A Customer
Although I added this book to my library I did so as a collector or martial arts material verses as a textbook to help me with my studies. It would have been better in my opinion to do a good job on some of the basics of the art rather than to approach such an intricate discipline in such a general manner. The quality of photographs could also be improved in further editions. A follow-up book would be appreciated to allow the author to impart more details and sequence of learning the art.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sparsely simple.
I found this book to be a very simplistic review of the various aspects of Hapkido. In the author's defense, Hapkido is a mindbogglingly broad art, and so it is difficult to cram... Read more
