People here seem to knock "stand up locking" arts such as Aikido and Hapkido. I do BJJ and MT myself and i have been taught that BJJ has "stand up locking" also. That's what the Gracies taught the Brazilian police. The question comes down to "what do you really want to do?" do you want to seriously hurt someone or subdue them? The fact that Hapkido and Aikido are used by the police forces of their respective nations is enough evidence that these skills are usefull. At least IMHO.
