Hapkido

Hapkido is a Korean martial art where kicking, striking, throwing, and twisting are practiced to their extremes (in my standard) with emphasis on usage of 'ki'. To find out more, I may suggest you to read the Wikipedia entry for the martial art by clicking here. I practice Hapkido at USA Hapkido Taekwondo Center located in Tustin, CA. If you are interested in Hapkido and live near Tustin, come and check out.

Library

I collect books, but I rarely read them. Here is a partial list of the collections. If you are interested in borrowing books, please don't hesitate to contact me. Of course, I need to know who you are, and you should live in vicinities of the collection.
