Marc Tedeschi (born May 28, 1956) is an American martial arts master, designer, photographer, educator, and writer. He is the author and designer of more than twenty books on the martial arts and Eastern medicine, many of which have been translated into French, Italian, Spanish, and Russian.[1][2] His acclaimed Hapkido: Traditions, Philosophy, Technique, presenting over 2000 techniques in 1136 pages and more than 9000 photographs, is the most comprehensive text on a single martial art ever published.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Tedeschi is also the founder of Hapkido West, a California-based nonprofit organization dedicated to the art of Hapkido and a style of Hapkido he established in 2007.[3]
From 1973 to 2000, Tedeschi was also active as a professional designer and photographer, working on a broad range of international projects involving identity programs, books, printed communications, packaging, exhibits, environments, and architecture. He has been the recipient of numerous awards for creative excellence. His work has been published internationally by the American Institute of Graphic Arts, IDEA アイデア (magazine), Communication Arts, Print, Art Direction (magazine), I.D. (The Magazine of International Design), Type Directors Club Annual, American Corporate Identity, World Trademarks and Logotypes 2, Graphic Design USA, The New York Times, as well as a variety of newspapers and trade magazines. In 1985, he was included in I.D. magazine’s “The Best Design in America” issue.[12] His work is also included in the Library of Congress,[13] and in the Smithsonian Institution, as part of the Landor Design Collection at the National Museum of American History.[14]
Hapkido is an overwhelming achievement. Its comprehensiveness and the quality of the writing and design are unmatched in martial arts literature
the monumental 1136-page 'Hapkido'…is quite possibly the most comprehensive book about a single martial arts style ever written
For those with a burning need to learn what we consider to be the best martial arts book ever published…
the Holy Grail of martial arts instructional texts
