Hapkido Vol. 1 By Bong Soo Han
Salepage : Bong Soo Han – Hapkido Vol. 1
*HDA Approved*Note: The video “Hapkido – Red Belt” (not Red Belt First Stripe) is FAULTY.
Also, there is no DVD 11 in this, “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.
