Hapkido Special Self-Protection Techniques (English and Korean Edition)

The essence of a martial art is competition. The spirit and skill of competition is the foundation of our successful daily lives in society in which we are often confronted by aggressors. Thus, we see the essence of martial arts is to cope with these situations. Since any martial art is a means of self-defense against an aggressor and further, a defense against injustice, the competition of martial arts should thus be accompanied with spiritual refinement and a sense of patience.
