Description

*HDA Approved*Note: The video “Hapkido – Red Belt” (not Red Belt First Stripe) is FAULTY. I included it still in the product as some part of it is still viewable, but probably most people will find the particular video not worth the ratio. Also, there is no DVD 11 in this product, “20th Anniversary Demo and Interview”, which is more of a general theme than an instructional video anyway. Sometimes the videos (except for the faulty Red Belt video) may seem to “freeze” or they’re silent for several seconds; this is normal and it’s as intended however, as you will see if you rewind or forward around half to a minute.BiographyGrand Master Bong Soo Han was the world’s foremost practitioner of Hapkido and he is referred to as the Father of Hapkido in the Western World. As one of the original senior students of the Founder of Hapkido, Yong Sul Choi, he led a dedicated effort in the development of Hapkido as it is known today. He taught thousands of loyal students throughout his life with many becoming masters themselves. Other masters across all styles have sought out his wisdom and teachings. Grand Master Han studied and refined this powerful Korean martial art for more than 60 years. Up to the time of his death, he held the rank of 9th Dan Black Belt. He founded and presided over the International Hapkido Federation. DescriptionThe father of Hapkido in America, Master Bong Soo Han instructs in this 11 vol set on the Korean art of Hapkido.
