Book Reviews of Hapkido: An Introduction to the Art of Self-Defense
Book Review: Hapkido the little book.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have Tedeschi's first book, the big one Hapkido trad/phil/tech.You will be very upset when you find out that this book is a very
condensed version of that book.
The first book was like 1300 pages, this book was something
like 200 pages. It has the same everything, pictures, techniques
, information just condensed. I was hoping for something new.
And I felt like I was jipped, because it was not listed anywhere
that this book is useless if you already have the big one.
Yes the book is probably the best intro to Hapkido that I've seen.
For sure the big book is the best that I have ever seen on the art
of Hapkido.
