Re: Aikido or Judo, which is more martial?

This thread was also asked on judoinfo.com. I'm not sure if the intention was to start an argument between aikido and judo enthusiasts, but the most common response there was that both neither judo or aikido are martial in any modern sense of the word (that would involve firearms, artillery, armor, air combat etc).

In fact, its kind of a strange question unless what was being asked was how well they worked for self-defense, and in the case of self-defense both seem to have worked quite well for many students.
