Can anybody suggest some good books on Hapkido?

Try "Small Circle Jiu Jitsu" by Dr. Wally Jay. Not a Hapkido book per se, but this book is a classic and can be found at most book stores. The principles and techniques apply to Hapkido styles as well.

Personally I liked "Physics and Philosophy" and "Physics and Beyond" by Heisenberg.  The latter is Heisenberg's autobiography, but it has some interesting ideas in it.  I also like a multiple volume set of books called  "The World of Physics: A small library of the literature of physics from antiquity to the present" There are a lot of excerpts dealing with historically important discoveries in physics.  It tends to go somewhat easy on the math too.  More recent popular books are "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking, and "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene.

Try The Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukav.  The succeeding books he wrote are also good.

What do you want to learn? Why do you want to learn? \n\nAre you looking for an effective and proven method of self-defense? Then I would recommend Wing Chun Kung-fu, Aikido or Kempo Karate. (There are others... MANY others, but these are my top recommendations.) \n\nAre you looking for fitness and philosophical approach to life? Then Taijiquan (Tai Chi Ch'uan), Baguazhang (Pa Kua Chang) or Xingyiquan (Hsing-i Ch'uan) comes to mind. (Again, there are others, but these are my top recommendations.)\n\nAre you looking at martial arts from a purely fitness perspective? Then Tea Kwon Do, Tan Soo Do, Hung Gar Ch'uan or any form of Gung-fu or karate would be good. \n\nAre you looking for a spot? Tae Kwon Do is an Olympic sport as well as one of the most popular Martial Sports in the world. Judo is also fun. Many karate and Gung-fu schools compete in tournaments, so you should be abke to find what you are looking for easily if this is what you are searching for.  \n\nAs I said, there are a lot of styles to choose from and it all depends on what you want.  I would recommend watching a few classes before you join a school. Some styles have very low stances and require good joint s and flexibility. Others require a great deal of upper body strength. Some schools focus mostly on physical conditioning while others focus more on skill and techniques. \n\nIf you are not sure what you are looking for, then find out what schools are in your area and meet with each and EVERY instructor before you make a final decision.  If you find a good school, within a short time, you will stop thinking of the school as a school and start thinking of it as an extended family. \n\nI wish you the best and I hope you find this information helpful.

If you're looking for a hard (striking) style, any of the variant forms of karate will fit the bill (kempo karate and shotokan karate are fairly popular).\nIf you're looking for a soft (throws, locks, etc) style, I agree with the aikido recommendation.  Especially if you just want to defend yourself and not strike people (Much easier to let the pavement, a convenient table, or bookcase strike them instead).  Aikido is very laid back and has a natural, non-aggressive feel to it.\nIf you want a little more aggression, try jiu-jutsu (the Gracie forms are great for winning tournaments) or judo.\n\nAnd if you want to have fun and try something really different, try capoeira.\n\nAll these styles and more are available for view at wikipedia.org, and most of the major styles have websites (ie. www.aikiweb.com for aikido)

1.) Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu (Masaaki Hatsumi) \n2.) Genbukan Ninpo Bugei (Shoto Tenemura)\n3.) Jinenkan (Fumio Manaka)\n\n1.) Link for Bujinkan Schools: http://www.winjutsu.com/winlinks.html... \n\n2.) Link for Genbukan: http://www.genbukan.org/cgi-bin/site.pl... (there should be a dojo locator on there)\n\n3.) Link for Jinenkan Locations: http://www.jinenkan.com/locations.htm...\n\nAll three arts have school in America and Internationally. \n\n**Note: Genbukan dojos outside of Japan teach ninjutsu better, than Bujinkan.

"Don't sweat the small stuff" books are AWESOME!!!\nThey are short, sweet and practical!  Walmart carries them.  I would recommend these books to anyone.  I'm currently reading for the 1,000,000th time "Don't sweat the small stuff, it's all small stuff!"  You won't regret spending $10
