Originally I was planning on learning Kung Fu, but to be honest I'm not very impressed with what I've seen. Hapkido is looking VERY appealing to me now, I think I may just skip over Kung Fu all together. I'm excited.
I have a copy and I think it's an excellent work of art myself. Some hapkido people criticize the book as containing techniques that are not necessarily hapkido-based with roots from judo and even some wrestling.
"Hapkido based"? I would say nearly ever hapkido technique (if not EVERY hapkido technique) has roots in another martial art.
Moo Sul Kwan Hapkido has a SIGNIFICANT amount of material that has roots in Yudo (Korean judo).
Funny how in a day and age of mixing martial arts many folk forget that hapkido was established as exactly that: a mixed martial art.
Too true. However, on topic.......Tadeschi's book is cool. I really didn't look at the techniques. What I liked it for was the interviews he had in the book. It had everyone from Choi, Han, Jae, etc. to others like Kimm and Jay.
For me it was all about the interviews. Thing is, Marc didn't write the "History", whatever in his view........nope, he went to the people who were around or somehow were active in an art with similiarities, for example Wally Jay.
