3 comments about Skills of Hapkido.

1. The teaching style of this DVD is rather unique. It places emphasis on quality over quantity. A lot of videos will show you tons of skills but they rarely spend enough time explaining the finer points. This DVD is different, and the quality shows.
   
   All the skills in this DVD are demonstrated in a number of different angles and formats. The concepts behind ths skills are explained through diagrams or close ups.
   
   Master Hye Kyoung Kim and [...] put in a lot of work into this. I hope you will this as useful as I do.



2. I gave this video one star DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY on it,I recently ordered it and viewed it,and let me tell you the guy who gave it 5 stars is obviously confused,i have studied some hapkido and i was under the impression you could learn from this dvd but i felt like the close up views were split second so you might as well pause it yourself manually,the wide angle the same bologni and they are kind enough to show you about three techniques per section and there is only about 4 sections principles,gripping,throw defense and knife defense,i bought robert koga's PRACTICAL AIKIDO hoping to learn something,but the guy spent half of the video having other people praise him,IT WAS TOTAL GARBAGE,AND SO IS THIS.I would sell it,only viewed it once but by the time i pay commision and postage i might as well SNAP IT IN HALF AND TOSS IT IN THE TRASH.This dvd is absolutely horrible this guy should be ashamed that he baits up the trailer video to be something it is not,so please put a stop to this guy and don't buy it,it is an absolute joke.
   
   
   p.s. I GAVE THIS VIDEO ONE STAR BECAUSE I FELT SORRY FOR THE GUY WHO WASTED HIS TIME FILMING IT,SO THE ONE STAR IS FOR HIM.



3. I've practice Hapkido for several years and I find this video to be a good reference tool. How many videos out there would give you a detail explanation of the concepts (i.e. where to grip, where to apply pressure, how to perform a specific movement, etc.) before they show you how to execute each skill in its entirety? This dvd does that. I appreciate that they cover these little details in close up and diagrams. And it doesn't rush through the skills. I think it spends on average about 3 mins or more on each skill.
   
   It is true that this video won't cover tons of skills though. I can see why some people may get upset over this if they were expecting an all inclusive video curriculum. But like its title said, it's an "introductory / intermediate GUIDE". And I think overall it delivers.
   
   I think what it lacks in volume it makes up for in quality. I personally like the picture-in-picture close ups. I thought it makes it much easier to understand when I can see the entire body's movement in wide angle while focusing on the key movement in close up.
   
   Bottom line, here are the pros and cons:
   
   Cons: I'd like to see more skills. The voice over instruction is clear, but I'd like to hear the master himself explains the skills (I think English is not his native language). This is Not for those looking to learn Hapkido entirely from a video (I don't think that's a good idea though, if even possible. Take lesson from a master.)
   
   Pros: Great production value (high quality, nice video editing). They spend a lot of time explaining each skill. I like the idea of the concept explanation and views from close up and multiple angles. Good for new Hapkido students or those curious about Hapkido. A good reference tool / guide to have.
   
   You should go check out the preview videos on their website to judge for yourself. (Site URL is the same as their studio name.)

2 comments about JR West Comprehensive Hapkido Volume I: Joint Locks, Rope & Cane Techniques.

1. First of all, I'm not a student of Grand Master JR West. I recommend that you buy all 3 volumes of this series. GM West is an excellent teacher. He demonstrates how to perform the techniques in different angles, speeds and occasional close ups when it's needed. He shows you different ways to perform the techniques. GM West expands on each one of the Techniques. For every technique he shows you, he gives you additional pearls on how not to perform them, which pressure points or vital points to apply, how to pivot correctly, and follow through on each technique. He's a very good teacher and it shows in his students both in this series and in the 2005 North Austin Hapkido seminar DVD. Finally, I hope there's more DVDs in the works.
   
   Volume One has 30 Joint Locking techniques, 11 Rope techniques, and 11 Cane Techniques.
   
   Volume Two has 10 Military techniques, 8 Ki Strikes, and 9 Speed Takedown techniques.
   
   Volume Three has 12 Carrying techniques, 12 Chokes, 15 Kick Defense techniques.



2. The overall quality of instruction on this DVD is very good. I'm very happy with the inclusion of rope/belt techniques, as it is not easy to find good material covering this aspect of HKD.
   
   The techniques are clearly demonstrated and described, and repeated several times for the benefit of the viewer. The audio and video quality could at times be better, but the instruction does not suffer under it.
   
   There are no freeze-frames, CGI, or slo-mo effects in the DVD, and very few camera zooms. Everything is filmed from one camera angle, with emphasis on illustrating the whole body movement. Individual technical detail is explained rather than filmed - this may work better for people with MA experience than for complete beginners.

4 comments about Practical Hapkido DVD - Punch Defense Special Edition.

1. I have quite a few martial art DVD/VHS videos ranging Aikido, BaGwaZhang, Yang style taichi, Chen style taichi, ChiGong, and Hapkido. I believe each art has its strength and I see Hapkido as most practical one in the street. I have Vol.I of this Hapkido DVD also and I was surprised that it was teaching(not just showing) so many techniques. It was good since I could review so many unique and effective techniques, but too many different techniques made me somewhat difficult to remember them(I feel that they put actual DoJang curriculum at Vol.I).
   
   The Vol. II is quite different since it only teaches "Punch Defense Techniques". I haven't seen any video that covers punch defense intensively (well, punch attack is the most common attack, isn't it?). There are many kinds of punch defense and counter attacks illustrated in good details. It seems very practical as name suggests. Front view, rear view, regular speed, slow speed, and screen capture for important frames (here, they draw blue arrows for defense action, and red arrows for counter attack action on the image, simliar to what you can see from football game broadcasting) helped me to remember the techniques this time. It is not "make you feel good" approach, but "make you learn something" type video. I appreciate it.
   
   It is compact, but it does one job well. The only drawback is that screen capture resolution is not very good compared with other part of motion video, but the whole frame is more important in martial arts and it is not a big problem. Quite unique martial art video.



2. For a beginner like me both the DVD's ( vol 1 and 2) were very helpful to learn basics of Hapkido. I was interested in learning a martial arts technique didn't have the time to go to regular classes - this DVD set was a very good solution for that. By following the instructions and practicing on my own I was able to learn many moves of selfd efense.
   
   Kudos to the author - eagerly awaiting the next DVD in the set.



3. 
   This DVD is very helpful to learn self defense against punches. It tells you all about Hapkido self-defense technique and movement. The techniques of Hapkido punch defense seem quite unique but realistic and practical. The best part of this video is its step by step approach; image capture of each technique with added graphics to illustrate the defense and attack motions. This makes it easy to understand and easy to follow for beginners. I have never seen any other martial art video like this.
   
   Highly recommend!!



4. This is one of Master Kim's older videos. While the picture quality isn't the best, the "actors" really gave 100% in demonstrating. The skills are direct and effective, no B.S.
   
   By the way, Master Kim and 9thDan.com made a new DVD in 2008. You can find the new DVD here too. Search for "Skills of Hapkido", or click here: Skills of Hapkido.

5 comments about Lock On: Joint Locking Essentials Volume 1: Wrist Locks with Alain Burrese.

1. One thing I've personally enjoyed about all of Burrese's body of work is his no-nonsense way of presentation. From Hard Won Wisdom to Hapkido Hoshinsul, From Street Fighting Essentials to the new Lock On Series, Burrese simply knows self defense.
   
   I was excited to receive the evaluation copy of Master Burrese's new Lock On series of Hapkido Instructional DVDs. As usual, there was no let down.
   
   Throughout, Burrese keeps safety in mind. He reminds the viewer that respect for one's training partner is key. Many instructors forget this point, which could cause problems during practice.
   
   Another bonus of Burrese's work is that he packs as much information as possible into one DVD. Unlike other production companies which use fillers like promos for their other products, Burrese and Aiki Productions cram as much knowledge into each DVD as possible. As always, you get the biggest bang for your buck.
   
   The Lock On Series isn't simply for the novice practitioner. Even the seasoned Hapkidoin will find great material here as well as a good reference source. The novice will find clear, precision instruction on basics, controlling and finishing techniques. The expert will find an invaluable reference on fundamental and advanced techniques and tweaks.
   
   When watching Burrese in action, you'll notice his flow and control. Flowing, making a technique fluid and not choppy or hopping around trying to make it work, is essential in Hapkido. Burrese embodies that concept. He emphasizes proper footwork, an oft forgotten key, and whole body technique. He takes time to explain mechanics, a must for Hapkido.
   
   This isnt a simple run-down of locking techniques. This IS a Master Instructor taking the time to show you step-by-step guidance towards mastery.
   
   Kudos to Aiki Productions on clear video and audio quality. Audio quality is often lacking with many manufacturers. Aiki does an excellent job here with that as well as the graphical interface of the DVD.

2. One of the first things that jumped out at me from the onset when I started watching Alain's "Lock On" series of DVD's was the simple yet effective approach that he took in the production and presentation of this series of DVD's. My initial impression was one of being in an actual seminar environment while Alain was teaching instead of merely watching an instructional DVD. You won't find any pointless or ineffective "bells and whistles" with this series; instead what you will find is good quality instruction covering a wide array of joint locking techniques. This particular DVD focuses on wrist locking techniques.
   
   Alain's ability to instruct you on these simple, yet effective wrist locking techniques is the hallmark of a good instructor and it certainly shows in this series. Alain's approach is straightforward and easy to follow as he takes you through each wrist lock numerous times in order to teach you how to execute each technique correctly. Alain takes great care in his teachings to explain to you how some of these techniques although they may appear to be ineffective, can actually be quite effective if applied under the right set of circumstances.
   
   I'm going to take a brief moment here to jump ahead to the end of this DVD where Alain explains the three (3) key elements that need to be present in order for these techniques to be effective. Although each one of these key elements is vitally important in their own right, none of them is exclusive in importance to the others when it comes to applying these wrist locks effectively in a combat or self-defense situation. What you have to remember is that these three (3) key elements have to be combined in order to form a symbiotic entity that is only effective when utilized together in an efficient manner.
   
   These three (3) key elements are as follows:
   
   1. Surprise: If your opponent doesn't know what to expect, he is going to have a more difficult time defending against it. However, if your opponent knows what is coming, he is going to be more readily able to counter it, or avoid it all together.
   
   2. Speed: Executing the techniques shown on this DVD has to be done as fast as possible while still retaining the third key element, which is proper technique. If the technique is executed too slowly, then your opponent will have the opportunity to figure out what you are doing and, as in the case of surprise, be able to counter it or avoid the technique all together.
   
   3. Proper Technique: This should literally be a "no-brainer," but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case. I don't know how many times I have personally seen or heard of someone trying to apply a particular technique in a given self-defense type situation when they weren't even executing the technique correctly to begin with. Alain goes to extreme lengths in this series to implore you to practice, practice, and practice, until the techniques he demonstrates become second nature to you where you can execute them correctly without thought or hesitation.
   
   Alain follows the same instructional format for each one of the various wrist locks shown in this DVD. He starts out by explaining some of the finer points of executing each technique followed by various follow up techniques that can be used on your opponent, if it is needed, after the wrist lock has been applied. He then shows several variations of each wrist lock that all are based on the primary wrist lock that was first shown.
   
   Alain takes a very realistic approach to the use of wrist locks and attempts to cover several influencing factors that may or may not come into play while attempting to apply them in a real life situation. I myself watched this DVD on three separate occasions and found something that I had previously missed each time. I have no doubt that were I to watch this DVD again after writing this review that I would find something else that I had previously missed.
   
   One of the many great things that I really enjoy about Alain's teaching style is his, what I like to refer to as, "nuggets of wisdom" that he injects throughout his instruction process. I too use this in my own personal style of teaching and have found that it is very effective teaching technique.
   
   I have a rather large collection of instructional videos that I have accumulate over the years and I can say without reservation that Alain's "Lock On" series is one of the best I have seen so far on the subject of joint techniques. If I were to have only one comment to make on this series, it would be this, "Hurry up and make the rest of them!"



3. OK, all of us have done it! We've purchased DVDs that seem to offer clear insight and instruction regarding specific techniques used in our forms of martial arts. Yet, how many of us have been disappointed to find that the not-so-clear presentations have been poorly illustrated and sequenced?
   
   Alain Burrese brings to this DVD an entirely different style of presentation that allows the viewer to see (almost feel) the techniques being illustrated. Burrese presents his selection of joint locks within the framework of grounded martial arts practices, so the techniques are never simply isolated movements. Yet, his presentation also allows one to see the details of hand placement, footwork, body positioning, etc. that provide the real power for the execution of these techniques.
   
   Burrese has a strong sense of presence in front of the camera, and this dramatically improves the quality of his instruction. Not only are the wrist locks clearly explained and illustrated, but they are also reinforced by Burrese's teaching style, which always includes a summary of what he presents. The camera moves in for close details of each technique after showing the viewer an overall view. Consequently, Burrese never forgets to emphasize that the techniques are rooted firmed in martial arts practices. Yet, Burrese goes further by showing the extreme power of each technique, something that many instructors in dojos are not willing to demonstrate.
   
   These techniques are, indeed, powerful tools and should be practiced carefully with a partner. They are intended for close, confrontational situations, which are usually the real-life situations where defense is needed. Nothing fancy here. Just straightforward techniques that work. I've used some of them before to stop more escalated fight situations, so I know they work. Alain Burrese presents them with the clarity that most instructors cannot.
   
   As I understand it, the "Lock On" series will be comprised of five DVDs, maybe six. If the rest of the series is anything like this one, they will constitute a classic collection for martial artists practicing any form. Furthermore, one should know that Burrese shows these defense practices because they work for anyone, who can maintain the fundamental concepts of martial arts while executing these techniques. I first encountered Alain Buresse's presentations in a DVD entitled "Streetfighting Essentials." I found this to be an invaluable resource, because Burrese was able to bridge the distance between dojo instruction of martial arts and real-life street situations that require quick, spontaneous execution of defense strategies that allow one to survive. With this in mind, I purchased volume I of the "Lock On" series and was pleased to find that Burrese still emphasizes that martial arts practice needs to keep the fighting intent foremost, even after we develop a more philosophical approach to the forms we study.
   
   "Lock On: Joint Locking Essentials Volume 1" is an invaluable instructional DVD for any martial artist. I expect to see many more DVDs by this Hapkido practitioner, simply because he knows what he is doing and knows how to present this knowledge to others clearly through his combination of words and images. This is a professionally produced DVD that I will use for many years. Thank you, Alain, for sharing your skills.



4. who wishes to know about the joint locks properly and may not have a Hapkido school in their city,these joint locks dvds of Mr. Alain Burrese are like finding a treasure.
   The instructions are simple, to the point. Joint locks are explained with the help of slow motion actions, close ups etc. Esecially the usage of same lock in different situations like, clothing grab, wrist grab, offensive techniques helps to understand the lock perectly.



5. rite straight to the core,no fluff you really get what u paid for,alan is a real good instructor n this series is great buy it

5 comments about Hapkido Self-defense Volume 2.

1. This DVD is one out of an outstanding series produced on Hapkido. This is probably one of the best on the subject. It shows a variety of techniques from a variety of angles.



2. these techniques will work in real life situations when appropriately applied. those who criticize the moves as "fantasy" or "fiction" do so only in ignorance. while the techniques are sometimes hard to see, if you have experience in the martial arts and hap-ki-do, this series will definitely be of help to you.



3. I once wrote a harsh review of the "Hapkido Vol.1", the videotape made by Lee Chang Soo and the Jin Jung Kwan hapkido demonstration team. I stand by the criticisms of that video.
   
   It was therefore a completely unexpected surprise to me that this DVD produced by the same people would be so well done in contrast to the earlier video series.
   
   The filming is far superior. We are shown each technique approximately 3 times; normal speed, slowly, normal speed and we are given a little information session about every 5 techniques or so to bring attention to a fine point. It is very clear visually and impressively performed.
   
   The weak point of the earlier series was that things were presently unrealistically and at such a speed that one could not hope to understand what was going on technically or even sometimes catch what technique was performed. This is not the case at all here. Although there is a great number of techniques presented here approximately 100 if memeory serves. quite a bang for the buck.
   
   This is not a video for someone who has never practised hapkido or another jointlocking based martial art. Rather it is an interesting overview the curriculum of self defense techniques of what was previously one of the more important Korea Hapkido Federation schools. (They have since separated and formed their own federation.)
   
   If you study hapkido this could be a great tool for you to have to assist you in jarring the old memory banks concerning the details of an art with a truly vast curriculum.
   
   This video does not teach you the techniques and really one should not really be attempting to learn an martial art from a videotape anyway. However the videotape could have had a lot more detailed and better quality narration to bring a greater understanding of the fine points of the techniques. If you had the sound turned off you would lose nothing in terms of insight regarding this video. This holds this DVD back from scoring more highly.
   
   Where this DVD really scores is in the execution and breadth of the techniques displayed. They are performed by Kim Myung Yong one of the senior-most hapkido teachers around.
   
   If you train hapkido and you are looking for something to suppliment you knowledge of the wide hapkido curriculum this DVD will be just the ticket. If you don't study hapkido but have trained in jointlocking and throwing arts before you will find much of interest on this DVD. If you are thinking about trying to learn techniques from media this is definitely not the item for you.
   
   I think that others who may dislike this DVD are probably people who would dislike hapkido or any other martial art which relies heavily on jointlock and throwing responses to self defense situations such as aikido, Japanese jujutsu, judo or Chinese Chin Na. If hapkido is your thing than this is the thing is for you.
   
   This and Master Jung Tae's "Ultimate Hapkido" series are the strongest videos available thus far on the Korean art of hapkido.



4. Hapkido Essentials and the two Hapkido Self Defense volumes are great for technique review. These products are good for those individuals that are now training or having had some previous experience in Hapkido or other similar Korean martial arts. It is difficult to see the hand positions for many of the techniques. Other than that you will see super rolling, throwing, blocking, locking, rotation, and flexion.



5. Volume 2 (about 1 hour)
   
   Defense vs Grappling (actually it is defenses vs 2 handed standing chokes) - techniques 1-16
   Defenses vs Holds (2 handed lapel grabs) - techniques 17-20
   Defense vs Throws (and 2 handed chokes) - techniques 21-29
   Ground Defense (def vs Mount) - techniques 30-31
   Defense vs 2 attackers - techniques 32-35
   Initiative Attacks - techniques 36-56
   Cane - techniques 57-62
   Dan Bong - techniques 63-70
   Knife Defenses - techniques 71-88
   Gun Defenses - techniques 89-91
   Arresting Techniques (belt techniques) - techniques 92-95
   Women's Self Defense - techniques 96-100
   
   Volume 2 seems to me to be more like a continuation of what was started in volume one and then has the feel of having several categories "bolted on" to fill up the tape. This tape in general contains a lot more material that seems a bit impractical for "self defense". There are less close ups, less descriptions, and a very loose sense of organization. The partner who gets the techniques applied to him is very annoying with his screams and moans, even during the slow speed demonstrations. However, as an overall catalog of Hapkido material it is very valuable, showing the diversity of the art and providing a "teaser' for people who may be interesting in learning this art.
   
   Some quibbles I have based on my own opinion include:
   
   -The categories like "Defense vs Grappling, Holds, and Ground Defense" would seem to address a need to address the range of ground grappling. However, it doesn't. The categories cover standing material like chokes and lapel grabs and only the ground defense category has the defender on the ground, where he uses two basic defenses against the mount and his partner obviously leaps off him without much effort on the defender's part.
   
   -The defenses against two attackers were very unrealistic, usually using a side kick to remove the first one from the picture and then turning the defender's back on that first one to attack the other. The partners are very compliant and throw themselves with the slightest movement.
   
   -The "Sun Sool" or "Initiative Attack" was pretty good for learning basics but then again, it's very easy to walk up and apply techniques to a compliant partner. Generally nice material though.
   
   -The cane and dan bong material was very short although I like the dan bong drill.
   
   -The knife defense wasn't particularly impressive and the defender showed very little or no control of the weapon and only defended against long telegraphed lunges for the most part.
   
   -The gun defense seemed okay although in some spots the defender brought the barrel in front of himself as he twisted and turned the opponent around.
   
   -The women's techniques seemed like a quick add on and was composed mainly of throws, many of which seemed to allow the smaller woman to propel the opponent using quick and easy grabs. Not exactly the material I'd teach for a smaller opponent to use against a large one.
   
   Overall, I wasn't as impressed with volume 2 as I was with volume 1. Volume 2 has the feel of an extended demo video with much more compliant partners and "flashy" techniques. It is nice in its diversity of material although it could have been better organized. I'd recommend this volume on those merits though especially since the price is fairly low and as part of set it makes a nice catalog for Hapkido techniques.

1. Good Movie
   Samo is great
   Little Unicorn is Fantastict
   Carter Wong is bearable
   Quality of dvd was most excellent



2. In short, Angela Mao, Carter Wong and Sammo Hung have recently returned to China after studying Hapkido in Korea. After returning to China and setting up their own school they immediately run into trouble withe the local Japanese school, the Black Bear Gang. Not wanting any trouble, they attempt to keep the peace until events force them to fight back. COMMENT: I bought this DVD because MAO YING stars in it. Even though Michelle Yeoh has a sexier and more voluptuous lips than Mao Ying, for some reason I like Mao Ying more and felt very sad to hear that she is currently in semi-retirement. I think she is irreplaceable. When she is serious, Mao Ying depicts the type of face that says 'Do not mess with me'. I too find this feature of Mao Ying extremely beautiful. And finally, once she smiles, Mao Ying turns to a different person altogether. Her gentleness returns and she becomes a real lady. Her aura of 'dangerousness' disappears completely.

5 comments about Hapkido Ultimate Self-Defense.

1. My background: some years of informal judo/karate training and went back to shotokan karate class this year. As I got more interested in self defense issues, and martial art more suitable to street practice, I decided to buy this DVD. I had no previous knowledge of Hapkido, and I must say this dvd made me discover a new meaning of self defense martial arts. sounds and image are high quality, instructions are all very clear, Master Sexton (besides being 6th degree black belt) provides no-nonsense explanations wich are easy to follow. In maybe a total of 50 tecniques, I would say only 5-6 are a little too complex to be implemented in the stress of a street fight, the rest is pretty doable and devastating. That is, as Master Sexton puts it, with daily practice until you can repeat the tecs at lightining speed.
   I would incourage to buy this dvd especially those people who focus a more self defense approach. One thing to note though: to practice you will absolutely need a sparring parntner, as all tecniques make use of grabs, holds and throws (judo alike) which practices solo aren't much effective.
   In sum, a very good product.



2. The Techniques and performance action is very well presented. There is defective sound quality, the sound quality changes, is distracting but is clear and can be understood. The 2nd DVD is label as the second volume on the outside lable, but when played it is presented on the TV as Volume one with volume one table of contents. However, the presentation of technques are not a duplicate of volume one or three, they are volume two techniques.If you don't mind the error, the presentaion is good. I will not return my purchase.



3. I am an italian wing tsun/ kick boxing praticioner, for some years.
   Actually, I am interested in all forms of combat.
   The series of Mr Sexton is very completed and well explained.
   The teqniques offered are sound and, in my opinion, effective.
   I agree with some reviewer that has pointed out that the author doesn' only show the moves but really teaches them and in a great way.
   In my opinion you must buy this series; it shows you how to defend empty hand, against a weapon (knife and gun) and also with a cane, the hapkido trademark.
   No doubt, buy it now, if you can.



4. I purchased this as a beginner to the art of Hapkido. I've trained in other martial arts over the years, but have decided to explore Hapkido as I'm getting older and looking for a "gentler" martial art. I'm one that likes to explore a subject thoroughly as I am learning. I found the instruction to be top rate in regards to the technique (again, understand I'm but a white belt). Steve goes even further in explaining the small details necessary for the practical application of the technique as well.
   
   I have but two minor criticisms; First, I felt that Steve seemed a little unsure of just what he was going to say when he got started. He fumbled for the right words as if he was just winging the lessons. However, once he was actually showing and explaining the move he was superior. If you purchase this, don't let the first 5 minutes influence your view, the material is top notch.
   
   Secondly, they need better quality video equipment and MUSIC. Honestly, my daughter and I chuckled at how terrible the musical background was in the transitions to the lessons. It sounded like something out of a terrible 70's martial arts film. I'm hoping that as Steve finds more success in his teach, which he surly will, that the companies putting together the videos will invest in better equipment AND music.
   
   These two criticisms are VERY minor and do not affect the overall quality of this material. From the perspective of a new student to Hapkido, I've found it well worth the cost of the product.



5. I have been meaning to write a good review for master sexton on this dvd,let me just say i have studied taekwondo and hapkido for four years and i have a few hapkido instructional dvd for reference but this one is by far the best.Every technique is explained clearly and like other customers say each technique is done slow,moderate speed and then real time speed,i give two thumbs up on this dvd collection and it was well worth every penny i spent,i just ordered skills of hapkido by HYE KYOUNG KIM and am awaiting to see it so i will be rating it also,thanks master sexton for the time,effort,and detail in the video i highly recommend this dvd
