### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    An excellent basic introduction to Hapkido.
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2011*

Even though I studied and trained mostly in the Japanese martial arts, I have always had great respect for the Korean martial art of Hapkido.  Since its development has a history with Daito-ryu Akijujitsu and Jujitsu I am familiar with most of its locks, holds, throws and takedowns.  This 96 page volume is a good basic introduction to this self-defense art. The first section explains the history and development of the Korean Martial arts.  The second part provides important information on the evolution of Hapkido, mentioning the relationship between Takeda Sokaku, a grandmaster of Daito-ryu Akijujitsu and Choi Yong-Sul, the founder of Hapkido.  The third section deals with the importance of Ki development in the art of Hapkido.  The four section covers the fundamentals such as the falls, natural stance, defensive attitude and other basics.The final and longest section is five.  This is the longest chapter because it demonstrates numerous Hapkido self-defense techniques.  For example, defenses against wrist grabs, chokes, joint-locking techniques, throwing techniques, defense against punches, kicks and other counters.In conclusion, like any physical skills and self-defense texts, this small book is best used in conjunction with actual training with a Hapkido instructor.  However, this text would be of interest to any martial artist who desires to learn the basic principles of Hapkido.Rating:  4 Stars.  Joseph J.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Not in-depth, but good.
  

*by N***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2005*

This very thin book covers some good variations on locks & throws as well as some interesting self-defense options. The information is a good supplement if you already have a strong foundation in these types martial arts techniques.A very big drawback is that the sequential pictures are not clear at all, contrary to what is stated in the editorial review. Fortunately the instructions of each technique should suffice, but only if you are familiar with the type of technique presented.
