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.
