Book Review: A very good Hapkido book
Summary: 5 Stars
Master Hui Son Choe is bearer of the 7.Dan Hapkido and the 6.Dan Teakwondo. The second work of master Choe makes a more structured impression in contrast to the first work and with 205 pages it is also more extensive. The descriptions of the techniques are in more detailed and both in English and in Korean. Unfortunately the photos are not as clear as in his first work, but they are still well recognizable. Here also the motions are illustrated clearly by means of arrows. After a short introduction the "Exercise" chapter deals with falling techniques and basic steps. After the quite detailed chapters "Basic Kicks" and "Sparring Techniques" the chapter "Self-Defense" follows. With more than 100 pages this chapter is the longest one. Each techniques is shown in detail on a double page. This chapter is divided into seven topics: Front position, bake position, Sitting position, Punch Defense, Offense Techs, Kick Defense, and Throwing Techs. The following chapters "Finishing Techs" (very interesting) "Weapon Self Defense" (contains defenses against various weapons and short stick techniques) and "2 person Self Defense" round off the complete work and due to the many photos are easy to understand. In my opinion the author could have saved himself the effort of the last chapter "Woman Self-Defense", since it actually really does not contain anything specific to women. Specially worth mentioning is the structure of this book, which makes it easy to find techniques quickly by means of topics.
