"This book is in my experience the most comprehensive ever written
on a single martial art. It is superbly organized, highly
informative, and contains thousands of outstanding photographs. An
authoritative presentation of basic principles and techniques,
integrated with modern innovations, makes this work indispensable
to martial artists of virtually any style."—Professor Wally Jay,
founder and grandmaster of Jujitsu America
"Hapkido is an overwhelming achievement. Its comprehensiveness and
the quality of the writing and design are unmatched in martial arts
literature. The author's integration of history, philosophy, and
technique into the larger framework of martial arts as a whole
makes this book invaluable to any martial artist. Tedeschi's
treatment of weapons techniques is honest, practical, and well
worth studying."—Nicklaus Suino, author of The Art of Japanese
Swordsmanship
