Re: Aikido or Judo, which is more martial?

No, I'm not confusing the art for the technique. I am pointing out that each art has their advantages--like judo on the ground and aikido being able to get around an attacker easier. Short coming of aikido is that most aikidoka can't fight on the ground while on their back. In Tomiki Aikido we can. Judo has a hard time getting behind someone because there is a lot of head on confrontation. When used together, they are awesome.
