Like Aikido Throws: Should I do Judo or Hapkido?

So I got some feedback about Hapkido Throws vs Aikido Throws but I think Aikido is out of the question at this point. So I was wondering: if I like the Aikido throwing techniques, especially Iriminage and Kotegaeshi, would Judo or Hapkido be best for me?|||Hapkido would be the closer of the two but again, Judo has also descended from Jujutsu so many of it%26#039;s techniques are very similar to those of Aikido and Hapkido.





If you have decided between Judo and Hapkido you%26#039;re going to have to decide whether you want more striking and defense based style or more competition based fighting.





Hapkido does not have open competition in mind of it%26#039;s training, instead it focuses on preparing it%26#039;s students for defense in real life situations.





Judo can be quite effective when taught properly for defense but it is limited in it%26#039;s striking and scope of defense considering it%26#039;s primary objective is for competition at most schools.





I suggest that you go and visit each school and compare the two after a few classes in each style. Decide not only which you like best but which had the best instruction. Good luck and enjoy your training.|||May this one ask, please, why aikido would be out of the question at this point as you intend on studying an art and you already have a preference for aikido so why not simply chose to study aikido?





Hapkido using many similar joint locks but with a very different aim in mind (i.e., breaking joints and disabling ones opponent rather than simply controlling a situation and resolving it peacefully).





Judo has become more of a sport that a defense system and in the real world, grabbing another is often the first major mistake.





Be well and may you be lead to make a wise decision that is of benefit to yourself and to others.|||If you like the throws of Aikido, then Hapkido would be the best choice for you.





Hapkido and Aikido are sister arts, as they descend from Daito-Ryu Aiki-jujittsu.Takeda Sokaku taught Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido, and Choi Yong Sul, the founder of Hapkido.





While the arts are different, the throwing techniques will be quite similar. |||Hapkido is the most similar to Aikido than to the throws of Kodokan Judo.





Contrary to popular belief, Judo does not have %26#039;take-downs%26#039;, wrestling has take downs and Judo is not wrestling.





Judo relies on Kuzushi (balance) and all the %26#039;jitsus%26#039; rely on %26#039;leverage%26#039;. All the jitsus place leverage on the joints while Judo seeks %26#039;off-balance%26#039; before applying a throw. This was one of Dr. Jigoro Kano%26#039;s big distinctions between Ju-do and Ju-jitsu.|||Not really Judo for Iriminage and kotegaeshi. Judo kuzushi relies heavily on gi grabbing and takedowns as opposed to joint throws. I don%26#039;t know enough about Hapkido, as I%26#039;ve never learned that but I%26#039;ve seen something very similar to Iriminage. The equivalent of Irimi nage would probably be entering and attacking the throat in Hapkido. Kotegaeshi or wrist turning lock is definitely found in Hapkido as well as many other systems.||| There are many ways of throwing using Aikido.Judo is closer than Hapkido in ways of throwing.Check out Krav Maga.|||i can%26#039;t tell you what to join but why do you want to join martial arts
