An art focusing on wrist locks, throws, and needlessly fancy kicking would not fare well in the UFC (not by a long shot)
Hapkido has "fancy Kicks"? I thought that they only had the basic ones... Anyhow, Hapkido and other "stand-up locking" art's are not designed to beat up people. They are designed to make people calm down (that's why law enforcement agencies use them). The only way i see it being used in MMA is if they actually fall down on the lock ala Saku Vs. Silvio(?) Gracie..
