Summary: The best book on Hapkido available today.
Review: Replete with hundreds of photo illustrations of everything from proper front kick technique to defense against weapons attacks to multiple opponent attacks. A pratical textbook on Hapkido illustrated so well that it can serve as a self-study guide. I highly recommend this book for both students and instructors.

Summary: The best book on Hapkido that I have added to my collection.
Review: This book contains excellent photographs of the techniques that allows you to understand how you move from start to the finish. I have been studying Hap Ki Do (and other arts) for over 15 years and in my opinion, this book is one of the best I have read. It is a little lean in demonstrating advanced kicks, but is full of wrist, throwing and weapon techniques.

Summary: Good over-all book on Hapkido.
Review: This book illustrates and describes techniques from breathing excercises to weapons defense. The book is logically laid out and has many photographs that accompany the text. I was somewhat disappointed that more advance kicks were not covered... All things considered, this book is a better representation of Hapkido than Spears or Han has published.

Summary: Good Intro to Hapkido
Review: This is the book to start with for Hapkido. Master Choe's other book (Hap Ki Do - The Korean Art of Self Defense) focuses mainly on joint locks and takedows and how they can be varied from different grabs. This book however, shows a variety of striking techniques and counters in addition to the joint locks. Also, more realistic situations and the effective techniques are presented here. Although both books are lacking in text they are definitely worth getting as excellent references.
