Hap Ki Do: The Korean Art of Self Defense

Excellent Hap Ki Do book. I'm a taekwondo'er and found this book very easy to understand with big clear pictures for illustration. I've purchased all three of Master Choe's HKD books and found a certain amount of redundancy in the techniques, but highly recommend all three any way. I originally found one of these in the library and realized right away that these books were the best I've found.

Not for Beginners

This book is straight to the point on joint locks and take downs. The book is broken down into chapters by how the joint is locked with varying grabs and attacks. One must already have good control and be familiar with stretching, striking and falling before applying this text. Master Choe's other book (Practical Hapkido Textbook) is a better introduction and includes some striking and falling techniques.

The best I have ever encountered

I have spent the majority of my life practicing various martial art forms. This is the best book I have encountered thus far. I have gone as far as enrolling my three daughters in his classes and started yet a new form myself - Hap-Ki-Do

An excellent book for beginning and advanced students.

My wife and I are students of Master Choe of World Hapkido in Spanaway, Wa., and we feel very fortunate. He is an excellent instructor and it shows in the quality of his book. The quality of this book surpasses that of all others I have read on this subject. The illustrations are clear and the directions are concise and uncomplicated. This book is a must for the Hapkido pratitioner. I can say that it has helped me, tremendously, with my studies.

It is easy to learn and is a great form of self-defense.

This book is well formed and gives the reader the basic defesive technuiqes, and fall breaking styles. This art form is great for the young, old, male and female alike. I recommend you buy this book.
