Great question Carla!
My loose guidelines are:
-the martial arts originated in the country it is practiced in
-been practiced for at least 5 generations
-is not influenced by fads
-has a lot of philosophy in it
By those guidelines, Aikido is not traditional. There's only 3 generations so far. Some lines got influenced by fads too.
