I just read a great interview of Alain Burrese. For those of you who may not be familiar with him, he is a great resource maker in Hapkido. He's produced a bunch of videos: a Lock On series (that gives amzing insight and teaching ideas on joint locks), a cane dvd (for Hapkido cane techniques using the heavier hardwood cane), and some self defense videos which are excellent as well. ALL of his videos are worth picking up, whether you are new to Hapkido or a seasoned instructor - you will find something good. Also, the interview gets into his background, including a great summary of what it's like to train (and work) in Korea. I think people who are interested in going to Korea to train would find this interesting. (One side note - the interview refers to him as "Grandmaster" and that was done by the interviewer - Alain has never referred to himself as a "GM" or even "Master".)
