You've seen him in action in the box office smash, The Trial of Billy Jack. He's the man who personally trained both Tom Laughlin and Delores Taylor for the incredible fight scenes in the Billy Jack movies. BONG SOO HAN, the renowned Hapkidoist, now offers you his expertise in the ancient Korean art of self-defense, compiled between the covers of one concise volume.
Utilizing over 500 step-by-step photos Han demonstrates Hapkido's many powerful and unique kicks and strikes. He explains the non-resistance method, so characteristic of Hapkido, that meets force with minimum force to deflect and not clash with your adversary's power - thus leaving your opponent vulnerable to Hapkido's beautiful "circular motion" counter attack. He clarifies both the practical and philosophical aspects of the "water principal" that offers total penetration of your enemy's defenses. Bong Soo Han, who studied Hapkido in his native Seoul, Korea under Yong Shul Choi, holds back no secrets in this only book of its kind.
