I am not aware of any kata/forms in aikido and definitely not in Hapkido and it does in corporate sparring. They do do a lot of techniques that work okay when your oppononent is static, but it's a different story when the person resists. Some is useful and some you just look at and say, "the chances of that working out are slim", unless you've been training in it since you were 5.

As far as Krav maga, I personally wasn't impressed with it. It looks good, but the moves seem way to choreographed and reality just isn't going to happen that way. But, if you like it and it does something for you, than that's all that is important.

Like Skorzeny and others have said, I prefer arts with the contact: Kali, escrima, grappling, boxing, etc. You could look into finding a boxing gym and maybe taking a wrestling class at a local college if the martial arts schools are few and far between.
