Please don't delete this post or move it from here, my post is about Judo and Aikido and I think this is the right place to start a friendly tread instead to be related to aikido forum or judo forum.
I'm a striker/kicker for many years I've been a TKDoing and want to ad some new knowledge to my person practicing another martial art and came across two non striking martial arts, the judo and the aikido but I must confess I am not a conoceur about this two japanese martial arts but I have had certain aproach to them, however I want people who practices this martial arts to help me to take a desicion in which one to take.
Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong. From my point of view Judo is martial art that descends from Jujutsu, it's not so agresive and has deleted some harsh techs to make it more userfriendly and safe to the practicioner, judo is an exelent exercise and cultivates mind, sould and body. Judo specialices on trowing and some ground work trough submisions, locks? pins?. Judo can be very phisical and specilizes in seaking for the ippon, so basically is atrowing martial art.
Aikido is also a softhened version of jujutsu, not so physical, in aikido is no competition and aikido centralize in redirectioning the flow of the energy of the oponent using locks,levers,pins, joint work,etc.etc.
I am trying to figure out which one is best for me, a 45 years old man who wants to learn something new and who wants toget involved in something diferent from TKD.
What are the substancial and the minor diferences beetwen judo and aikido?
