| Well sort of back on topic, but I'm throwing Hapkido into the mix. From my very limited understanding of Aikido it mostly involves going with the body as opposed to against it. Bending the arm with the elbow is classically an Aikido technique, bending it against the elbow is classically an Hapkido technique. Now, I am not saying that you can't put someone out with Aikido, it is probably petty easy actually, but I think you would be more likely to dislocate than to break with Aikido.
Atleast... that's how the two arts are organized in my mind. Please correct me if I am wrong. |
