Judo, Aikido, BJJ, are all basically the same thing with emphasis on different aspects (e.g. ground fighting for BJJ, standing throws for Judo, wristlocks for Aikido). The main difference is the degree of aliveness or focus on live sparring..
The main difference between Aikido and Judo is the distance between the opponets when they engage.

Anyway, I would like to hear if anyone has any opinions or thoughts on the possiblity of a more functional-based practice of Aikido or whether such a movement would simply lead, as some have suggested, to an Aikido that looked a lot more like BJJ.
