I know Hapkido is from Korea & Aikido from Japan, though they both are very similar and I assume Hapkido is a modified version of Aiki, but what's the real difference? I've seen Aikido demos and Hapkido demos and I must say Aikido looks really weak, a bunch of people getting up and running into some one else's arm, like they are swing dancing or something, Hapkido demos show certain situations that end with wrist locks and take downs similar to Aiki but without the dancing. I don't want to judge the art of Aikido with just Youtube videos, and I'm sure finding a good teacher and school is hard as well, but in real fights, which one is better and what's the difference that makes it better?
