By Scott Shaw
Hapkido, "The Way of
Coordination and
Internal Power," is one
of the three major
Korean martial arts.
Founded in 1963 by
Master Choi Yong-Sul, it
is a complete system of
self-defense,
encompassing striking,
kicking, and grappling
techniques.
Conceptually, Hapkido
techniques more closely
parallel those of Aikido
than Taekwondo. In fact,
as the author describes,
there is a parental link
between the arts.
In this book, Scott Shaw
presents a precise
description of the
techniques, concepts,
and applications of this
Korean art of
self-defense. Profusely
illustrated with 220
clear photographs, this
instructional book
describes and depicts
self-defense techniques
against a variety of
punches, holds, and
kicks. Hapkido has been
utilized by military and
law-enforcement agencies
worldwide, but until now
little has been written>
on it.
This book is one of the
few in English to
present the essential
techniques of this
fascinating art. Hapkido:
Korean Art of
Self-Defense is a must

"soft-style martial
arts.Scott Shaw is a
