Aikido and Hapkido are cool looking arts with all those standing joint locks and throws. I would love to see them in competition to see how they do in full contact. I took hapkido for a bit and really liked the art but we never sparred full force so I didnt stick around, but the moves were pretty cool and seemed like they would be good for a bouncer or cop to restrain someone.

aikido, I Rally like the art. the instructor knew what he was doing by the looks of it.

The 'little girl' screaming was a bit much for me. That's what top outs are for.

Retired NYPD detective I know swears by the basic wrist lock from Hapkido training. If you know how to do it quickly, you can get someone to the ground pretty fast. If NYPD thinks it works well, I would imagine it would work well in full contact. It really doesn't get much more full contact than NYPD.

HOWEVER, this is really only half the battle for an MMA type. I would imagine that many of them would find a way to wiggle out to avoid being tapped. If you could transition from these techniques to some solid ground stuff, then I would be inclined to think that you have something really decent for both defense and MMA.

One thing I noticed when practicing the basic wrist locks in hapkido were that if you did them on someone you were vulnerable during it, they could just pull out, but if you got them, you would break their wrist. thats just my impression from practicing them. We usually made the wrist lock into a takedown and I cant tell you how many times I sprained my wrist from it.
