aikido is japanese and is a soft grappling style with few strikes and emphasizes ki and philosophy. hapkido is a korean self defense art similar to japanese jujitsu as it includes strikes, kicks, throws, grappling, weapons, and emphasizes hold escapes and weapon defenses. interesting note the kanji for both arts is the same

I used to study hapkido. Yes Hapkido is the Korean version of aikido but it can be described as a combination of Tae Kwon Do & Aikido. While I sat in my daughters aikido classes, I always felt Hapkido was the more complete art. It has strikes, kicks, joint locks, throws and pressure point strikes. It stress both offense and defense, while aikido is basically just defense.

similar techniques.. came from the same art.. and other arts... move different though and hapkido has strikes in almost every type of it... alot of aikido ryu's dont have strikes hapkido and hapkido has more judo type throws...... i dono what hapkido has in terms of "breath throws" but aikido has alot... breath throws are non jointlocking timing harmonized throws

Aikido is used to harmonize defense and hapkido is almost the same thing but focuses more on dodging pressure points and vital areas.
