TKD_McGee Posted October 4, 2001 Posted October 4, 2001 I know that they are similuar in ways, but what are the main differences? I think Judo is more for people who want to Compete like a wrestler would, while Aikido is for people who want to learn meditation and self defense... I may not have a clue, so fill me in. Do unto others, as they done to you.
Tobias_Reece Posted October 4, 2001 Posted October 4, 2001 I think you're made a little mistake. You should be comparing Judo and Ju-jitsu. Remember....judo is really the competitive form of ju-jitsu Keep on asking C ya "You Are Never Given A Dream Without Also Being Given The Power To Make It True.

Aikidoka Posted October 5, 2001 Posted October 5, 2001 Judo derives from jujutsu and aikido derives from aiki-jujutsu. Aiki-jujutsu was a very secret and deadly style of jujutsu taught only to the heirs of samurai families, which was then modernised into aikido. Judo covers mainly the sport side of martial arts, while aikido has both sporting and traditional sides. If you just compare them as sports, judo deals with the grappling/throwing side of jujutsu and aikido deals with the striking/joint locking side. The founder of sport aikido, Kenji Tomiki, was one of Jigaro Kano's finest students before Kano 'gave' him to Morihei Ueshiba (the founder of aikido). The traditional side of aikido includes a Zen mind-set, meditation and sword and staff technique. As far as I know, modern judo does not retain these things.
