Hapkido has a lot of the joint locks and take downs, but also has a lot of the kicks and strikes found in arts like Tae kwon Do...
It isn't as "gentle" as aikido..
aikido, since it is defensive, one wouldn't learn how to kick somebody (unless that kick is used as a distraction, which seems rather unlikely) as one would in hapkido.
In addition, in aikido when delivering the defenses you stay on the ground, while in hapkido there are jump kicks.
