Description
This ground-breaking work is the first to comprehensively document the traditions, philosophy, and techniques of one of the world's most varied, exciting, and practical martial arts - Hapkido. More than 9,000 (!) photographs introduce over 2,000 martial techniques, including strikes, kicks, blocks, avoiding movements, holds, joint locks, chokes, throws, falls, tumbling, ground fighting, and weapons. Numerous close-ups show precise grips, leverage methods, pressure points, hitting surfaces, and direction of force. In addition to self-defense techniques, chapters are included on East Asian philosophy, martial arts history, anatomy, meditation, healing, and pressure point fighting, as well as in-depth, previously unpublished interviews with the world's pre-eminent Hapkido Grandmasters and renowned Grandmasters of related martial arts. This superbly organized work of exceptional quality is the definitive text on Hapkido, and destined to become a classic of martial arts literature. There is however one big problem with the book: it is so large and heavy that you'll need a firm table on which to read it! Marc Tedeschi is an internationally respected artist, designer, and educator, who holds a fifth-degree black belt in Hapkido, a martial art that integrates both healing and combative techniques. He has practiced martial arts for more than twenty-five years, training extensively in Hapkido, Taekwondo, Jujutsu, Judo, and Karate. Long a student of Eastern concepts of human physiology and integrated medicine, he is also the author of 'Essential Anatomy for Healing and Martial Arts'. OVERVIEW 1. Introduction 2. History 3.
