i don't know how those techniques work in Aikido
they're descended from some Chinese martial arts stuff that is called qin na, which I have trained a bit. Before any of the fancy business starts in those grabbing applications, the person doing the technique traps the hand so it can't be pulled away (if that doesn't work people train other options). Its utility has to do with moving towards a more advantageous situation than you'd be in if you just wriggled your hand free. And yeah, it's pretty hard to do properly!
