In this dynamic tape you will be Introduced to the Korean art of self-defense known as Hapkldo. Unlike many martial arts styles, which have become sports games, Hapkido has kept Its tradition as MU-DO (the combat art) and Is still practiced today in its original form.

You will be introduced to the techniques of this ancient art by 8th degree black belt Master Tae Jung. Born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, Master Jung was fortunate to learn Hapkido under the Supreme Grand Master Hwang In-shik, who also trained film legend Jackle Chan and choreographed many of his Hong Kong movies. Master Jung also trained In Kendo, Taekwondo and Praying Mantis Kung Fu during his youth and he Is currently the President of the World Hapkido Association.

These Instructional videotapes are designed to teach you the fundamental techniques of Hapkido. There are six chapters in a series of three videotapes which Include "Beginner", "Intermediate" and "Advanced" techniques.

Ultimate Hapkido Volume 1
In this Beginners series, you will learn basic wrist grab defense and body grab defense techniques. These are elementary-level techniques but are very important to master before you proceed to the "Intermediate" and "Advanced-level" techniques. It also features a series of basic kicking and sparring scenes. As you are watching this videotape, observe the designated color belt at the bottom of the screen. This will help guide you through the belt ranking system of the World Hapkido Association. Running time: about 30 min.

Ultimate Hapkido Volume 2
In this Intermediate series, you will learn ground defense, which includes your opponent attacking you when you are in seated position or prone position. You will also learn punch defense in this tape, which illustrates all the counter techniques to your opponent's punch, including strikes, joint manipulation and throws.
A series of basic kicking techniques and sparring scenes are also featured in this tape. Running time: about 30 min.

Ultimate Hapkido Volume 3
In this Advanced series you will learn kick-defense and knife-defense. Before you start this training, you must remember that a kicking leg is stronger than your arm alone.
