This review is from: Hapkido Volume One [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The video is well made, with various demonstrations. However, the techniques are definately intermediate level, and it breezes through quite quickly. Overall, it does a good job of showing what one can learn in hapkido, but one should not expect to learn much from it.

This review is from: Hapkido Volume One [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This video produced by the Korea Hapkido Federation brought back memories of my own training in dojangs looking identical to this one while I was in Seoul.

Unfortunately other than nostalgia this video has little to offer other than acrobatic demonstrations of what should be very practical techniques.

The agility and the abilities of the practitioners are not in question, however this video does not really seem to know what it wants to be. It is not in any way instructional. It does not show realistic execution or reaction to the techniques shown. This demostration, like many I saw while living in Korea, seems to confuse acting and acrobatics with martial arts.This is really a shame as these practitioners are, I'm sure, really talented and could illustrate real hapkido if allowed to do so.

A real missed opportunity on the part of the KHF.

I would recommend Ultimate Hapkido in its stead.
