Which martial art totally beats Judo?

Question

and if you had to choose between Aikido and Tae Kwan Doe, which would you choose and why?

Answer 1

Ju Jitsu beats Judo almost every time, similar moves but more of them.

I would choose Aikido. I've seen many fights between Tae Kwon Do "masters" and those of other arts and almost always Tae Kwon Do looses. Tae Kwon Do is a very good art if you're fighting someone untrained, but in martial arts circles Tae kwon Do is known as the predictable art. TKD enthusiasts always kick with very few exceptions. So you always know what to block and how to counter attack. If I don't have to worry about punches then I can close the distance, get inside the TKD artists kicks and pummel his face or grapple him to the ground where TKD has no moves.

Answer 2

Judo's a great style....don't get me wrong, I have a ton of respect for those that study the art.

Which arts beat it? Well....like everything else, it comes down to the practitioner in question.

I would say, a style that has a better dynamic understanding of balance manipulation for counter-throws, throw stopping, and intelligent striking wrapped up.

We've had numerous Judoka come into our Bujinkan dojo to see what we've got to offer...and never once has one been disappointed that their throws weren't that effective on our guys.

That comes from:
A- a better understanding of timing and balance...and in turn, how to disrupt the flow that Judo is so reliant on.
B- amongst those that really practice ukemi for what it's worth, we're pretty good at moving mid-throw whether it be for counters, or simple escapes.

Now, between Taekwondo, or Aikido.....good question. I'm not a fan of either to be honest. Overall, I'd reccomend Aikido first between the two (especially amongst the Yoshinkan lineage)...and supplement what you learn with a supportive style.

As supplement, Xingyiquan and Bujinkan Taijutsu work very well with Aikido. Both styles with compliment quite well, as they're based on similar principles.....with numerous other tools you can add to the fold.

TKD just sucks, it's full of weaknesses on every level. It's basically cardio kickboxing, or Tae Bo with an attitude.

Answer 3

i am going to answer aikido same as everyone else, but i would like to give more explanation.

there is a spectrum of martial arts with the hard exterior arts on one end and the soft interior arts on the other.

The benefit of the exterior arts is that they are simple and straight forward - therefore often a lot faster to learn.

The benefit of the interior arts is that they are very precise in their understanding of how the body works, and how to gain control - they tend to be able to do things that the external arts can't - and thus can often defeat them. However they tend to be more complex and take more time to learn.

Often the simplest way to beat someone is to work with an art that is just a little bit on the gentle internal side compared to the art they are using. So for example when faced with a boxer - one simple response is capoeira. instead of trying to attack, you keep yourself away from their punches. If you are low on the ground it is hard for them to hit you. You can then fight back with your legs.

If you take the other direction you can be in trouble. For example - if you try kicking someone who is reasonably good at jujitsu they can grab your foot, and suddenly you are completely in their power.

So to beat a martial art you want one that is gentler and subtler than the other art.

Taekwondo is close to the external end of the spectrum, aikido is close to the internal end, judo is somewhere in the middle - whether it is closer to the internal or external probably depends on who's doing it.

So definitely aikido.

as for judo offering no resistance - that is the theory, but not really the practice. When the founder of judo found out about aikido he called it the "true judo"

Answer 4

Neither.

In a fight between equally matched practicioners of Judo, Aikido and TKD, the Judoka will win almost every time. The aikidoka would lose every time. The TKD guy /might/ have a chance if he is able to do enough to keep the distance closed and get the knockout relatively early, but will usually lose to the Judoka, even though the aikidoka would be easy meat.

Aikido does not train alive. It will not help you in a fight.

TKD has issues with training for olympic style sparring instead of real fighting. If a TKD fighter was sparring in an alive manner and /not/ within olympic style paradigms, he has a chance.

A judoka will always be practicing with randori. And because of this alive training he will have the advantage in a fight.

Answer 5

there is no 1 style is better than the others. Each style has its strength and weakness. It depends on how well you trained and which style you like more or which style suits you.

Learning martial arts are not for beating other people up. It is a way to help you to reach your full potential.

I would choose Aikido.

If you ask me, I said Chen Style Tai Chi is the best. However, you need a good instructor.

Answer 6

I don't know depends on the environment. In a street fight none of the grapplers may survive a hard judo throw on the concrete. In a life or death situation Judo guys will take you down head first into the cement which all the BJJ in the world can't beat.

Answer 7

Tae Kwon Doe, Because it has a lot of air moves. Also Ninjutsu is the best way to take down a Judo master.

Answer 8

Aikido.

Answer 9

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Answer 10

It depends on the practitioners, the circumstances and the environment.

Under certain circumstances and in certain locations, Judo can't be beat!

e.g.; What if you are standing on the ice?
