After reading this book I am eager to learn more about combat hapkido.

Very informitive. Written for the average person to learn from.
These techniques are realistic.

Having first purchased GM John Pellegrini's book on the topic, I wasn't sure if Michael Rowe's book would be redundant. It isn't. In fact, they're complimentary. I especially enjoyed his history of Combat Hapkido and his coverage of the foundational concepts and techniques. If you are new to this art, or are just hungry for more information, this book should be on your shelf.
