I recently got my black belt in Hapkido and to do so had to perform something like 120 moves and know more like 180 and i see all these moves as being effective as they could be (apart from my own imperfections ofcourse).
I think that's a part of it Richard. Hapkido is very technique based where Aiki-jutsu arts are more principle based. You can learn every throw and lock in Aikido but still not understand the art. That's not to say that Hapkido isn't a good art, it is, it's just not really an Aiki-jutsu art.
