Hapkido is a next generation martial art focused on true self-defense techniques. HapKiDo is a blending style martial art which can be very soft as the student's level progresses. It emphasizes on internal "Ki" energy and using attackers power rather than depending on one's muscle. Practical HapKiDo is based on tranditional Korean HapKiDo which has the principles of Flow, Circular, and Harmony. Practical Hapkido contains variations and extensions to the tranditional one making it highly effective in real life situations. It is the outcome of Master Kim's 30 years of martial arts and real combat experiences. He is currently teaching Practical Hapkido in Campbell, CA. This is not a promotinal video with professional actors, but a complete reference guide to those "field-proven" techniques presented by the master and real students. Each technique is presented in three different formats for the maximum understanding by the viewers. A solo demo by the master is followed by a partner demo at normal speed and a slow motion repeat. Even if this Vol. I that contains basic level techniques, they can be highly effective if you master them. You will see step-by-step description and demonstration of each technique. During the one hour showing nearly 100 techniques, you will feel that the master is giving you a personal training at the DoJang(studio). Taking advantage of DVD format, it provides jump access to each chapter through the Scene Selection menu. This video can also be useful for martial art instructors as well as law enformcement training. If you want to become an action star or look for Matrix-type motions, this may not be the one you are looking for. If you are interested in a martial art that works in real situations and emergencies, you probably have found the right one. Even at this basic level, it shows serious techniques to the eyes of trained martial artists.
