Hapkido consist of gentle or forceful throws and joint control techniques derived mostly from Aikijutsu. They are taught just like aikido, but in general the circles are smaller and the techniques, are applied in a more linear fashion. Most techniques work by a combination of unbalancing the attacker and applying pressure to specific places on the body. Hapkido makes use of over 700 pressure points. All that equals an a** whoopin'!
