Good Hapkido Books - 01/26/06 10:42 AM
Hello,
My father has always wanted to do the martial arts. He has finally chosen a school by him which teaches Hapkido. Although is not learning the system that I study/teach I am very supportive that he is atleast getting his foot in the MA door.
He's had his first class and he loves it. I am planning on getting him a little gift after he passes his first grade promotion. My thought process is that you really need to understand the history and the lineage of your chosen system to truely appreciate it. So I want to get him a book on Hapkido.
I was looking around and I see that the thick comprehensive book by Marc Tedeschi looks pretty good.
What are your thoughts on this book and do any of you recommend other books?
